We really liked our stay at Kinparo. The staff was very friendly (even if not all of them speak English very well, they did their best to meet your needs). Every evening the futons were made ready for us. First time for us sleeping in a Ryokan and we found it more comfortable than we thought! Overall, it was a very special experience. The location of the hotel is great, literally two steps from the market. Also, walking distance from the station and pretty much from all sites in Gion.
The hotel feels a little like a business hotel from the 60/70s, which is not what we were expecting. When we booked a Ryokan style hotel, we had something different in mind. The room did have a traditional Japanese style though, which is what we wanted.

The hotel was clean, quiet, and smelled so lovely of green tea that it made all our other stays seem boring! The sento baths were of green tea also, and were just lovely. The common areas were beautifully staged, inviting and clean. We stayed in a traditional Japanese room which was surprisingly beautiful, with relaxing lighting, a lovely tea nook, and fresh flowers. The traditional breakfast served was extremely filling and it was fun to make our own tofu!
The only thing we struggled with at this hotel was the lack of outlets. We had to search high and low to find an outlet to plug our phones into, much less make a cup of tea. If there were outlets in a discrete place, we did not find them.

The location is in the middle of Kyoto. It's pleasant 1 mile walk to most key attractions - Gion, the main temple, the palace, the castle, etc. There is a metro station a few hundred yards away. Shops and restaurants are all nearby, as well as some museums. Our room was a tatami room - spacious, clean, and attractive. Breakfast was very nice, and a key feature of staying here - one of those traditional Japanese breakfasts with dozens of small dishes. I thought it was better than most other breakfasts I have had in Japan. The staff were really good at giving guidance for confused foreigners. For the price, I thought this was an excellent place to stay in Kyoto and I will be staying again when I next visit.
No complaints about the hotel. The hotel is a bit hidden away in a back street, so you won't be getting much of a view from your window. Some people would prefer somewhere more scenic, but in Kyoto you would be paying a lot more for a view. Personally, I quite liked the back streets here - there are lots of everyday things to find nearby, Kyoto is very safe, and you are on the main shopping street in a few seconds,

This was our first and only stay in a more traditional Japanese hotel and it was wonderful. The rooms are beautifully detailed with tatami matting and sliding panels. Lovely extra touches such as laquered bowls and fresh flowers. The staff were delightful and we enjoyed the most wonderful Japanese breakfasts each day. There was so much delicious food on offer. The bedding was made up for us each day and the futons were very comfortable. Also the location is great, close to the Nishiki market and great shops, restaurants and places of interest.
Nothing, It was a wonderful experience.

We were surprised how close this ryokan was to everything in Kyoto. For how cheap this hotel was, we were shocked how close it was to the Nishiki Market Street! We would 100% return to this ryokan. Breakfast was utterly fantastic and was different both days we attended it. I'm not the biggest fan of cooked fish, but I enjoyed every dish that was served to me! Men's onsen was clean, calm, and very nice. Lastly, we weren't sure when booking if there was going to be a private toilet in each room, so let me clarify that here for anyone wondering the same: our room had its own shower room and its own toilet room. There was an additional public men's room and women's room on our floor. So this ryokan has both private and public bathrooms (which would be helpful if you had more than 2 quests in your room).

Location is fantastic, right in the heart of main shopping district but set off a small street so quiet and calm. 2 mins from Starbucks, metro stations 300m away and bus stops right on Main Street. Generous breakfast spread beautifully set out in a nice traditional room. The staff are older, very experienced and attentive.
Property is slightly dated but it is the style of such a property. Nice public bath, has all the amenities for a comfortable stay.

Despite our mutual language difficulties, the staff were very courteous, able to answer our questions, and provided excellent service. Their green tea onsen was very pleasant and warranted multiple visits. Nishiki Market was only a few blocks away!
We didn't realize that the futon beds would cause an issue with one party member's back. Fortunately, the staff was able to add extra layers and made the stay much more comfortable.

First time in Kinparo, it was very satisfactory stay for our family of 5 with three young girls. The location is superb, a few minutes walk to the heart of the city and Gion area. Only one stop by subway from Kyoto station. The Ryokan is quiet and comfortable. The room was sufficiently large for 5 people in beds that were prepared by the staff every day. Breakfast was Japanese style with plenty of choice of many different Japanese food. But also some Western items that were welcome by the girls.
Nothing really. As the ad states the language spoken is only Japanese. Some difficulties in communication with the staff, but nothing critical.

The location of this property is perfect. Right next to Nishi market and only a short walk from the train stations and bus stops. There is also a little gyoza restaurant next door which is excellent. The rooms were cleaned daily and the beds put away each morning and rolled out each night. The staff we dealt with were excellent.
After a few days, sleeping on the floor looses its charm a little. While it was what was advertised and expected, and the actual beds are comfortable its still a hard bed.

I like the green tea hot bath very much, this is really different from the hot baths from other hotels. And I like the tea aroma at the ground floor near reception counter. We were there during Japanese New Year and we received new year gifts from hotel, thank you very much, we love them..... The location is perfect, very close to Nishiki Market, and many restaurants at the surrounding, no worry for the food.
