Exceptional Japanese hospitality, a relaxing private onsen, and an unforgettable breakfast!
Pros:

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel Utano Kyoto Besho! The staff were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

The private onsen in our room was incredibly relaxing, and the room itself was beautifully designed, combining traditional Japanese charm with modern comfort.

And the real highlight was the breakfast! It was absolutely outstanding, beautifully presented, delicious, and easily one of the best hotel breakfasts we've ever had.

Cons:

If I have to pick one thing, the hotel is a bit far away from train station.

Authentic Japanese home style hospitality.
Pros:

Superb ryoken in northern Kyoto suburbs. Great staff, rooms, food and vibe. Yes it’s expensive but it’s worth it for the experience.

Cons:

Almost all was excellent. Perhaps more western alternatives at breakfast?

Amazing hotel and staff, absolutely amazing experience for a calm and cozy stay in Kyoto away from crowds in a quiet nei

Beautiful small building with gorgeous garden. Everything is pristine and well taken care of, the private onsen was absolutely divine. We chose this hotel for the location, far away from crowds yet easy access if needed.

Cons:

Nothing. It was an amazing private, cozy experience.

Pros:

Everything! I had a wonderful stay, and I'll definitely come back if I have the chance.

Cons:

If I had to pick one downside, it would be the location. It's not particularly close to the station, but they provide a pickup and drop-off service, so it wasn't a big issue.

もう一度泊まりたいと思える旅館
Pros:

何もかもです。
アメニティ系は最高でした。
私は男性ですが、生まれて始めて、顔面パックをやりました。
癖になりそうです。
シャンプーやボディソーブ、ドライヤーなども、高価なものを使われてます。
また、宿泊した部屋は、庭もあって、景色がよく、24時間いつでも快適に入れる温泉風呂もあり、家族みんなが気持ちよく過ごせました。
1泊だけでは、もったいないと感じました。

Cons:

惜しいと感じたのは、洗面所の照明が少し暗いかな。
あとは、温泉風呂で、身体洗ったりするときに座っている椅子が少し傾いているので、お尻に石鹸がつくと、滑って落ちそうになりました。
排水の関係で床が斜めになっているのは理解できますが、ちょっと急過ぎるかな。
