Love the spread of in room breakfast , it was delicious and beautifully presented Bed not as comfortable, but we were the one who opted for traditional Japanese style bed Got a room w private bath , but it’s really small Have to praise all the hotel Ryokan staffs for being efficient and accommodative on our request , and in mourning for breakfast , they are extremely prompt Location was great, walkable to close by attractions

Best service I’ve had in any hotel; fantastic experience

Very nice and cozy,in line with jap traditions Will repeat for sure!!

A unique chance to experience a traditional Japanese stay, futons were surprisingly comfortable and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming.

Great cultural experience. Walking distance to shopping, dining, property was amazing!!

Great stay if you like Tatamis!

Great ryokan.

Staff were great, lots of shopping and eating nearby. Facilities are a little old, but clean and very comfortable.

We loved the Ryokan Kohro! From the moment we arrived the staff was warm and welcoming, our room very comfortable, and the set Japanese breakfast each morning was delicious…the best part was the cedar bath/onsen which we used each night. We will definitely be back!

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!

A bit out of the way. Property was a bit run down. Staff was super nice though.

Staff went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. Definitely recommend!!!!!

Good location, Clean room. Nishiki market and Kyoto culture museum is very near. Inoda coffee is more than that.

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.

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.

Room was a bit small but service excellent

I love the location because you can walk to Teramachi Kyogoku shopping street. I love the clean room and the amenities. The experience was great but I didn't give it a 5 star because I was charged an extra tourist tax fee and I was curious why it was not mentioned online. I paid everything online and I was surprised to get that fee.

Simply awesome. Located in the central Kyoto area, 3-10 minutes walking to subway stations and shopping centers, and many tradition stores , cafes, convenience stores a few blocks away. Staff are very courteous and helpful. Only con is a bit noisy at night and early morning, and futon on tatami is a bit hard for my body.
