Kyoto Ryokan Kinoe

the staff were very welcoming and friendly, the location is excellent. very traditional and beautiful, but my 50+ year old body was longing for western comforts after a couple of nights sleeping on the floor furans!

there was nothing I didn't like

Great location in Gion. The head receptionist was super nice and spoke fluent English. The place has a vintage vibe and feels very authentic. The onsen was pleasant. We pre-ordered the kaizeki dinner and it was absolutely perfect (great food and great service). We also appreciated the traditional breakfast.

Great location.

Lovely authentic experience.

Confusion around booking breakfast and dinner!! We ended up having to make separate arrangements for our dinner and breakfasts… other than that all was fabulous.

A great place to stay if you want a unique experience. The Japanese style rooms were very nice and the food was exceptional. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Ryokan was in a perfect location with a short walk from restaurants and shops in Gion. It was super clean and the staff was very helpful and friendly.

N/A - there wasn't anything I didn't like about the Ryokan. It was a great experience.

We stayed in a family-style room that could hold up to 6 people. It was quite spacious and gave our teenage sons room to spread out their stuff. Attentive staff and great Japanese breakfast. The hotel is a comfortable walking distance from the Gion district restaurants and temples.

While it's a quick walk to the pedestrian-centric areas of Kyoto, the hotel is on a busy street. I heard street noise in the evening and early morning. Not a problem late night so it didn't disrupt sleep much.

great location close to attractions and public transportation. Staff is very courteous and generally helpful (some more than others based on their knowledge and command of English)

room was a little smaller. Travelling with another friend who had a larger room when we both paid for the same class/type of room.
