This was easily our best stay of our entire two week trip. The location, cleanliness, atmosphere, and most of all the service were beyond exceptional. The hotel staff were very friendly and clear, even with the language barrier and our minimal Japanese skills. The hotel was so tranquil, and the bath in the room was DIVINE. We would stay again for that alone. The staff even provided sake for the bath, as well as face masks and skin care that were much appreciated. The location is spectacular and was close to a lot of trip highlights. We really liked the proximity to Kiyomizudera temple, it was only a block or two to the main shopping street by the temple. We also enjoyed the hotel breakfast with our reservation, it was plenty of food and the quality and variety were great. Overall, would definitely return and highly recommend!

Excellent location. Within walking distance to picturesque areas of Ninenzaka, Sannenzaka, Kiyomizu-dera temple, and other sites within the old-world area of Higashiyama. We had considered a number of other properties in the area and ended up walking by a number of the ones we didn't select...I like that this one has a smaller, more intimate, authentic feel. It has the feel/aesthetic of a traditional ryokan, but with hotel amenities as well. I saw some other reviews online that noted the staff did not speak much English. It was not a problem for us at all, and people can easily deploy Google Translate app if a complicated situation arises. The staff was very kind and helpful during our stay. I recommend waking up early and going to Kiyomizu before the many crowds arise. It's especially lovely and peaceful early in the morning...we were able to see/hear the monks doing a morning ritual and it was neat to hear their chants echoing through the temple and surrounding nature. The Higashiyama area is not all that close to the train station, however, I think that compromise was well worth it as it was very pleasant to explore this charming area that has retained its feudal-era Japanese look and feel.

I love everything about this hotel. I stayed in the open air onsen bath with breakfast and dinner included. The moment you stepped into the hotel lobby, you are welcomed warmly by the reception, who will guide you to take a rest at the lobby with green tea and matcha chocolate nuts, while they arranged your check in for you. The staff are so friendly, patient and detailed. Very impressed with their sincere service. The open air onsen bath is truly heavenly, esp in winter season. Esp after a long day of walking, the onsen bath helps in relaxing your aches. They even provide you a bottle of saka to pour into your onsen bath, felt so pampered. This hotel is truly thoughtful by providing so many amenities to prepare you well for your onsen bath, felt like I'm in a spa. To cite 1 example, they provided you with face mask, according to your guest's age(how thoughtful is that?). The key highlights are the breakfast and dinner. I'm a vegetarian and they prepared an awesomely sumptuous and yummilicious 9 course vegetarian omakase dinner and breakfast set for me. Every dishes are delicately prepared, not just only taste awesomely good but asethetically appetising, appealing, like a piece of art. I can feel Chef Ichikawa's effort in curating his food for his guests. Thank you for the great experience Saka Hotel, we felt very well taken care of.. My family and myself will miss our stay and definitely be back again!

Such a wonderful staff, readily called us taxis to take us to some of the farther places to visit as Kyoto’s attractions are spread out . The breakfasts were fit for a king. Close walking distance to the Kiyomizu-dera area and the major shopping streets. The room was beautiful and had a wooden soaker tub - they provided a bottle of sake to add to the bath. The daily refill of facial masks and products were a nice touch. Happy hour wine and bubbly were served daily in a nice gathering room. The private Onsen, for an extra fee, was well done and very clean. They provided yukatas (robes) that you were encouraged to wear around the hotel and even to meals was fun. This is a high end hotel with so many amenities.

Loved the western style room with a Japanese touch and especially the cypress bathtub to go with a sake bath. Both the lounge and the room was well stocked with Nescafé capsules, various tea bags, drip coffee & iced treats. Amenities in the rooms are appreciated, such as a set of 4 step skincare, eye masks, several sets of yukata for sleeping to walking around the hotel & the provided bedroom slippers were so comfy. The bathroom also provided really good brand of body wash & shampoo from Waphyto. Minibar drinks are reasonably priced as well and close to tourist locations in Kyoto.
Long walk from the street outside but you can arrange for a pick up within certain timings.

This was a beautiful Ryokan and so relaxing! Far nicer room than we had expected, with lovely garden areas outside. We loved having a big tub to take a sake bath after a long day, and loved all the small touches provided in the rooms (for example, an eye mask, so I could really relax in the tub). We also enjoyed the relaxation room with coffee, tea, snacks, and a massage chair. The front desk was very helpful when we needed to find somewhere to eat, and when forwarding our bags to the next destination. This hotel is far prettier than it looks in photos.
The only thing I didn't like was that the bathtub in our room was wooden, and looked a little bit moldy. The location is close to a few attractions, but otherwise quite remote. There wasn't much in the way of food nearby, after 6pm. So keep that in mind -- in hindsight, we wished we had booked their meal plan. We didn't because we weren't sure what we would be doing each day, and didn't want to feel pressure to come back. Also, if you are a fan of softer beds, you may find the bed a bit hard. But, the comforter was quite fluffy, so, I simply asked for an extra blanket, and slept on top of the comforter.

Super nice service and breakfast. Literally best check in experience I’ve had. Amazing walkable distance away from key sites like Ninenzaka and Kiomitsu-dera but still very quiet. Also, shower water and products provided are “chefs kiss”
Not necessarily a downside but just something to consider: the hotel is in a quiet living neighborhood, so a 5-10 min walk is required to reach any public transportation, which are located on the main roads. Not bad at all when it’s bright and nice outside, but not as pleasant when it’s raining or when one’s tired

The ryokan is located near a few famous attractions which can be reached by walking. The kaiseki breakfast and dinner provided by the ryokan were out the world, super yummy! The hot bath provided in the rooms come with a bottle of sake daily for us to pour into the bath for blood circulation purpose. Other than that, the ryokan provide daily face cleanser, toner, moisturiser and face sheet mask for our relaxation. Excellent hotel which really exceeded our expectation in every aspects!

Room was ultra clean. It is more spacious than most hotels in Kyoto. Amenities are provided and refilled daily. Eye masks, facial masks, and even a bottle of sake (for their famed sake bath) were replenished every single day. Pillow requests were also available. Though not near a train station, you can easily walk to the Gion area.
The nearest train station was quite a distance away however, the Hotel is walking distance from the main Gion shopping area. At this point, I am really just nit-picking - as we were driving in from Osaka, it was difficult to locate the Hotel at first - if you miss a turn, you may need to take a 5 mins detour as traffic along the main road is congested most of the time.
