I visited the restaurant (not hotel part) for dinner. The Kyoto set dinner was great, the dishes were beautiful and the food quality was good. Staff are very friendly and polite. Highly recommend.

The main, large suits are amazing. Plus, the food is phenomenal -- out of this world. The restaurant has it's own garden, and the service here is impeccable. My only complaint was that our room's shoji door had a big water stain on it and wasn't particularly noteworthy, though we stayed in a small room. I'd still stay here again though.

This ryokan had top-notch service, with friendly staff who were eager to serve. The in-room kaiseki dinner exceeded our expectations, and the in-room bath featured a spectacular view of our dedicated rock garden. You can to and from the ryokan from Kyoto Station via the Number 5 city bus.

Excellent ryokan, great service and top breakfast. Close to a subway station with a few restaurants near by but otherwise every quiet. Onsen in the hotel was good too.

We stayed in one of the suites with a private bath overlooking the garden on the second floor. The room was beautiful and had a thousand beautiful little surprises. Traditional kaiser dinner was delicious. Overall a great stay!

Well maintained and beautiful establishment, service was not as expected, probably were too busy. Kaiseki felt rather rushed.

Room with private onsen was excellent. However because it wasa ground floor room, you could hear people in the room above walking around.

This ryokan doesn't have it all together. For the exorbitant prices I shelled out both for the room and meal upgrades, I had expected more. Perhaps a lot more. I have had my share of nights spent in Ryokans, and at Yachiyo my expectations and initial excitements proved to be disappointments. However, to be fair, overall I did manage to enjoy my 4 night stay. My room was a nice sized room with a garden view. The peacefulness of the roomed suffered only from noise pollution since just beyond the garden wall is a major road. The ryokan itself was a confusing mix of traditional Japanese decor, modern Japanese decor and 1990's carpet and western styled couches under harsh fluorescent lighting. You can tell at one point in time, perhaps some time in the 90's there was an attempt at "modernizing". The whole places seems to be just pieces of different buildings held together by a central transitional area. The food were expensive even by tourist standards. The dinner option I picked costed about $90 USD per person per night, the food was somewhat disappointing but after a long day of sightseeing, it was worth the convenience. There was also the caveat that the service was piss poor; once the food was dropped off no one will come by to check on you. At no point during our pricey dinner were we offered a beverage of any sort. No tea, no water, no beer, not even a drinks menu of which I would have gladly paid extra for if that meant I could have had a beverage. I was so parched towards the end of the meal I marched straight into the kitchen on my way out of the dining room and grabbed the nearest person and demanded water. The breakfast, at $20 per person per day, was borderline inedible. We left our breakfast plates full and sought food elsewhere after quickly canceling all of our reserved breakfasts.

An old and tired ryokan with an old and tired staff all in need of a makeover. The rooms are beautiful, traditional tatami floors with a changeover twice a day from living room to bedroom and back. Each room looks onto a peaceful Japanese garden, however most of the rooms also face a major highway that has noisy traffic all day and interferes with the peace, fence notwithstanding. The restaurant sits overlooking it's own peaceful garden with Koi pond and is quite beautiful with traditional Japanese squatting tables. The newer tables that offer both the squatting and sitting option are away from the garden. The food was good.

Service is good but not exactly what I would call attentive, more like going to your grandparents house.

English is only understood within the very limited hotel lexicon, despite there being no Japanese guests.

Overall staying here was a very nice experience, but for the price we expected a bit more.

Indeed this place has passed its best days and is quite expensive for what it is. On the positive side it is conveniently located next to a few important temples and zoo, looks lovely from the outside, has a nice garden and a dining room, but rooms and common areas are quite tired, in addition our room had an unpleasant damp smell. Their onsen is quite small and inside only.
