At the behest of a friend, I checked our family into a ryokan (traditional inn) for our maiden trip to Kyoto. The Japanese hospitality of the staff, traditional breakfast every morning (server to your room), your beds made daily and sleeping on the mattresses on tatami flooring and public bath are good experience.

Amazing ryokan stay

Amazing ryokan stay in the heart of Kyoto; there’s a public bath you can try which is traditional and fun way to shower / bathe. When you check in they pour you tea and give you traditional sweet; they then go through breakfast times; breakfast in the room is amazing and must try. The set up of the beds was also done seamlessly and everyone was super courteous and polite - thank you for a great stay!

I feel sad giving this property 2 stars because the staff was SO nice and the property is in a good location. The main problem was the unbearable smell coming from the bathroom. It smelled so bad like raw sewerage that we couldn't even sleep even with the toilet cover closed and the bathroom door closed and the door to the sleeping area closed. It was that bad. I told staff about it twice and they just came up and sniffed around and shrugged their shoulders. The sleeping mats were terribly uncomfortable (that was expected) but the pillows were unbearably uncomfortable. They also only don't give you freshly washed blankets they just cover them with a fitted sheet which felt so gross if god forbid you ended up moving around and wake up with your face in the uncovered part (if only wraps around half of it). Cool experience but it just wasn't for me.

Perfectly Authentic Traditional Ryokan Experience

NOTE: This is an authentic ryokan with a full ryokan experience. If you are not looking for the full traditional experience, this might be less of an ideal option for you. If you want that experience, you will be handsomely rewarded. Have your google translate ready, because not all staff speak English, but that's about the only possible negative.
The room was gorgeous, the location is perfect, near Nishiki market and surrounded by shops and restaurants. Get the breakfast option, as it's a cherry on top. We will be returning to Kyoto in the future, and we will most definitely look to book another stay here.

We came to experience the Ryokan stay with my two teenager kids. I was not expecting to be top of the notch, this is a traditional bed and breakfast with super nice staff from reception, attendants, cleaners, servicers. They are very respectful and gave their best to treat their customers. Although the amenities were limited, overall, very pleased for the experience and the service from staff, the only less rate is because I am comparing to other higher rate ryokan and hotels.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. My boyfriend and I stayed at quite a few ryokans across Japan on a two week visit and this was by far our favorite. The staff was as friendly and accommodating. The public bath was a perfect way to sooth sore and tired muscles after a long day of sightseeing. This was within walking distance of Nishiki Market and public transportation. It's a few blocks and train stops away from Kyoto station. I highly recommend ordering breakfast at least once while staying here. It's a traditional Japanese style breakfast that they set up in your room.

Nice hotel friendly staff

We had a good time at this hotel and it certainly was an experience. The hotel is a traditional Japanese inn. In our room we had a private shower and bathroom, however I understand that this isn't the case for all rooms. Housekeeping move the table out of the living space in the evening and put some mats on the floor for you to sleep on, not the most comfortable night sleep however great to experience. The rooms were basic, however this was inline with my expectations. The staff were all helpful and friendly, however spoke limited English inline with the rest of the local people we came across. Location was great, 5/10 minute walk to the subway, bus stop and local food market. Both the trains and buses announce stops in English. I understand that if you order breakfast or dinner, this is served to you in your room by traditional Japanese staff, this isn't something we requested.

Lost In Translation? Regardless poor service

Had a very bad experience that may partially be on me. When arriving I came late and was in a rush to see a couple temples before closing. I mentioned this to the younger gentleman who took me to my room when he said the attendant would be right out. He mentioned to tell front desk if I was leaving. I had thought the attendant would be in to provide a spot of green tea and make me welcome, but I opted to get to a temple instead. I waited for the attendant and no one came. I went to the front desk and asked about ordering a bottle of saki to my room. I was told that's only when ordering room service, and he was sure I could find a bottle of saki somewhere else. AT NO POINT was there any mention to me that I missed the boat on ordering anything to my room, or meeting with attendant was crucial.

A couple hours later I came back and thought it would be fun to hit the resteruant so well advertised on their website and all marketing materials. I was told the resteraunt was closed, and I was told that I could not order anything to my room. So, I went out and had a great dinner a couple blocks away. When I was getting back into my room I saw, and smelled and wonderful meal being delivered to another room on my floor by the staff. It certainly wasn't take out from down the street. I expressed my concern and was ignored. I asked about a robe for the bath (which every place with baths that cost a fraction of the price have) and was told there aren't any and I could wear my clothes.

Excellent Ryokan in the heart of Kyoto

It's walkable to many izakayas around the area, 8-10 mins walk to Nishiki Market. It's a bit noisy - sound from the street can be very disturbing. Not sure if they have rooms that is not facing the streets. That was the only reason I couldn't sleep well.

Room is very large for a Japanese hotel, typical tatami room. Staffs are very nice, they setup our beds while we were out for dinner as we did not opt for the room with meal.

We requested for in-room breakfast the day before as we did not book any; for an reasonable 1k yen/pax. Breakfast spread was absolutely fantastic homecooked flavours - yudofu, tamago, grilled fish, miso soup, potato salad, rice and pickles. We picked the last slot 8.30am. Food is served in the room!! It's a must to have a meal in the room for the experience.

Yukata is provided in the room - its essential to wear to the hot bath downstairs, and yes you need to go all naked but you can bring a small face towel. It's a small bath room with a huge bath tub, nothing fancy inside. It may be a little awkward but it's normal in Jap.

The lady who brought us to our room, served us breakfast, brought us Yukata, is very friendly!! She did everything we could to make us feel comfortable even though she can't speak our language - such a nice lady.

Overall, I would recommend this place for Ryokan experience in the city. Not the most traditional but we enjoyed the experience and convenience.

Great japanese style hotel in the city.

It's a Ryokan-style hotel with traditional tatami floors and attentive room-service staff. I haven't been to a Ryokan before so I can't comment on how authentic it is, but as a foreigner visiting Kyoto it was a pleasant cultural experience. Personally, I found sleeping on the tatamis comfortable, just bear in mind the thin futons are on the firm side. Japanese-style breakfast was a bit expensive, but worth it considering it's served in your room by diligent staff and features many small Japanese dishes, mostly savory. It's on a small street in downtown Kyoto, so don't expect the picturesque gardens of the countryside inns, but it's a nice neighbourhoods with great little shops and small restaurants.

Great experience in the middle of Kyoto

I choose this time to stay in Japanese style ryokan and searched and searched and found this one. I was so lucky.
When I come in, staff does not speak fluent English, which is very normal in Kyoto. If we expect fluent English staff, we may always go to finest hotel.
This ryokan offers free wifi which has not great speed but convenient enough to use during my stay. Also breakfast part, it was exceed my expectation and worth to have it, at least one morning. I choose only one breakfast while I stay for three nights and it was great decision. Breakfast served at room and I enjoyed beautiful breafast.
I cannot miss to mention about the public bath. A small downstaired public bath area is real Japanes taste and most of time, it was quiet and cozy. I soaked myself in the hot tub and my feet tiredness for heavy walking for full day's walking around Kyoto. I was really refreshed and could be able to survive folliwing day's hard walking.
Over all, I was happy and enjoyed staying here a lot. Thank you very much Ryokan Kyoto and all staffs.

Nice ryokan good Kyoto location

We enjoyed our stay at this ryokan. We were able to walk about 30 minutes from Kyoto Station with our overnight backpacks. The location is a few blocks away from Nishiki Market and across the street from Inoda Coffee, which is nice. Unfortunately, we didn't request the Japanese breakfast in advance and were too late to get it since we checked in after 7p. We were given nice yukatas to wear and we went down briefly to the onsen, which is in the basement. It's a real ryokan experience probably meant mostly for Japanese since nothing in the room was in English. The futons were comfortable and the bathroom was clean but tiny.

Probably our greatest memory was of the man who made up our futons to sleep in. I should've asked for his name, but the desk thought it was Furuda-san. He is a Yomiuri Giants fan and when he saw my son wearing a Giants cap he returned later with a Giants keychain for him to take home. My son was so excited and couldn't believe someone could be so kind! We will never forget such a kind gesture.

The futon was big and roomy and the blankets very warm. The futon was as expected, as a westerner I found it a little uncomfortable, but that is because I am used to a very cushy bed.

It was a bit hard to find, but it was definitely a \"hidden treasure\" for a Ryokan. The room was nice and we had a marvelous time there. The traditional breakfast is a \"can't miss\", as it was a Japanese meal fit for royalty. The Ryokan is located fairly close to a nice shopping district with nice restaurants if you chose to venture out. I'd definitely return here again...The Ryokan staff was absolutely fabulous and they were very helpful and friendly. I thought the placing of a name plate outside our room was a nice touch.

Restful Stay in a Traditional Inn with Modern Feel

The hotel staff is located about a 7 minute walk from subway and local bus stops, so it can be a little tricky to find depending on where you get dropped off. That being said, the rooms provide space for restful accommodations in a traditional Japanese inn with a modern twist. The staff is very welcoming and takes the time to lay out the beds each night for returns from what can be tiring walking days around Kyoto.

There are a few options for bathrooms with private bath or no bath in the room. My family had a private bath, but my wife and I used the hotel bath downstairs. It was very clean and relaxing!

We did not use the ryokan kitchen, but instead found a few great breakfast spots around the ryokan. The French chain Paul is close as well as Inoda Coffee. There are plenty of other food options for dinner by foot in a place like Kawaramachi.

There is a small souvenir shop on the first floor that also can help with any missed opportunities around the city.

Would certainly stay here again!

Nice Ryokan

We were traveling to Kytoto with my sister's family and we checked in at the same time. Employees at the front desk and in the lobby were all very polite and helpful. We were rushed along by one male employee who may have been trying to be efficient but it came off more as \"hurry them through\" because we were in the way. My sister's family was served tea in their room and told their beds would be prepared while we were at dinner. We were dropped off in our room with no tea service and no mention of the bed preparations. As we left for dinner they had us leave the keys to the room at the front desk (a little odd to us) and we picked them up thinking maybe our beds would be set up once we returned. Beds were not set up so we had to move the furniture, pull out the bedding and set up our own beds. After retiring for the night the doorbell rang. We decided to ignore it. Then it rang again. Then a knock. I was trying to figure out who it could possibly be. There was silence for about 10 minutes then the knocking began again. When I answered the door it was someone offering to make our bed. Overall the room and hotel was nice, but the service we received left a lot to be desired. My sister's family a couple floors up received much better service...I guess it was just the luck of the draw.

Modern Ryokan

A modern ryokan with rooms that manage to retain a bit of traditional aesthetic. Really nice neighbourhood with interesting little independent shops away from the throngs of tourists.

Amazing!

Thank you Ryokan Kohro for a lovely stay. My friends and I thoughly enjoyed our stay . The room and facility was a little piece of old fashion Kyoto. We also had the traditional Kasaki meal. It was delicious and beautiful presentation. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I look forward to returning in the near future.

Great location, but plenty of street noises

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We very much enjoyed the hot bath after touring plenty of sights during the day. Room and bath were very clean. The location is very convenient, but lots of mini trucks pass the little road in the morning, so I recommend to ask for a room NOT facing the street. It was still a wonderful experience staying at this traditional ryokan!

Excelente!

Incrível! Todos muito simpáticos e tentam ao máximo te agradar. Tudo é muito tradicional mas nada é velho, tudo novo e muito bem cuidado! Muito bom, experiência incrível de um local tradicional japonês.

Une expérience à ne pas rater

Une expérience à ne pas rater! Dormir dans un Ryokan est un incontournable. Si vous avez la possibilité d'ajouter aussi le diner traditionnel c'est encore mieux. Le personnel est aux petits soins, très gentil et professionnel. Seul bémol est l'insonorisation avec l'éxterieur sinon pour le reste tout à été parfait. Une magnifique expérience
