An incredible experience. We had the in-room dinner and breakfast (half-board). It was extravagant and the staff walked us through every part of what it was and how to eat properly. Very traditional and staff were very friendly, humble, and attentive.

Hotel was exceptional with very warm staff members who make you feel at home, to a traditional, old school Japan that we craved for, to a very delicious traditional Japanese breakfast! I just wished, I was able to reserve for a traditional in-room dinner ahead of time as they ran out of spots. Highly recommended!

Our stay at Matsui Honkan was truly unforgettable—one of the most special experiences we had in Kyoto. From the moment we arrived early to drop off our bags, the staff treated us with such kindness. We were welcomed with cool towels and paddle fans—such a thoughtful touch on a hot summer day! When we returned to check in, we were seated in the lobby and served drinks with snacks while the staff explained everything with care—from breakfast service to the onsen. It felt more like a warm welcome than just checking in. One of our favorite surprises? The daily giveaway gifts in cute Japanese drawstring bags. It made us smile every time and showed how much they cared about the little details. Breakfast was a highlight—Kaiseki-style meals delivered to our room each morning, beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The servers were so kind and respectful—it made our mornings feel calm and special. Our room was spacious, clean, and traditionally styled with tatami mats and a private bathroom—perfect for our family of four. We loved wearing the provided yukata and winding down in the public bath, which had separate areas for men and women. The location is also fantastic—just steps away from shopping streets and a short walk to the Samurai & Ninja Museum. We didn’t just stay here—we made memories. Matsui Honkan is pure Japanese hospitality, and we can’t wait to come back!

Matsui Honkan is our first experience at Ryokan. It was a fantastic stay. The staff were supper friendly. The served breakfast and dinner were not only delicious but also looked great in the presentation. The location of the property is excellent. Nishiki Market, Kawaramachi Street, Pontocho Alley are all within minutes of walking distance. I would recommend anyone who would like to experience a traditional Japanese Ryokan.

Everyone was so helpful and nice! The food was amazing and the experience a 10/10 would recommend for anyone traveling and looking for a relaxing stay. In the morning they shipped our bags to the next location and we were able to enjoy the location for the rest of the day bag free. So awesome!

Basic ryokan situated in the heart of Kyoto, perfect location with lots around. However, the room was not the cleanest. We found a messy, unfolded duvet thrown in the closet and a few strands of hair in the bedding. Assuming the duvet was used by the previous guest and not folded by housekeeping after guests checked out.
