The rooms, the bath, the lounge and the staff, all were excellent!

Absolutely lovely. Beautiful. Worth every penny.

great ryokan! a little far from the subway, but there is a bus stop nearby, and the hotel also provides a shuttle service to Kinkakuji and the nearest subway station in the morning at 9 and 10 am. We stayed in a Japanese style room and it was an unforgettable experience! The rooms are clean and spacious. As a compliment from the hotel there is tea and a small selection of traditional Kyoto sweets. The hotel also has public baths, which can be used free of charge by every hotel visitor. The rooms also provide traditional yukatas, which you can wear to walk around the hotel. We booked a room with breakfast - and I highly recommend this, since this ryokan serves a traditional Japanese breakfast, consisting of many dishes. Great choice for this price!

No drinking water in onsen. No place to go near here by foot.

Big room and good service

We felt disappointed since only one onsen was open as we planned to have some time in an inside pool as well. Outside pool was closed and thats ok. Dinner took 2 hours so it would be nice to have it delivered to a room since sitting with other people is not that enjoyable and takes away the ryokan experience in the room.

We enjoyed our stay in Ryokan since it was our first time experience. Room was spacious, cute outfits and relaxing atmosphere. It was further away from the city but we managed to reach it with a local bus.

Absolutely fantastic experience to see traditional local culture in living and dining. Staff was so friendly and welcoming, dinner was delicious and we enjoyed the traditional room.

Only small complaint was that our private bath on our terrace was tiny, much smaller than in the photos, and could barely fit one person let alone a couple of us. I had booked a room with a private bath so we could enjoy hanging out together without going down to the public onsen all the time, and we couldn't really enjoy that feature as much as I wanted. On the plus side, the onsen was tattoo friendly which we were surprised by so we did get to use it. I wouldn't have paid so much for a private bath if I knew it was so small.

LOVED this ryokan, it was a great place to recharge during our trip to Japan. The hospitality was incredible, the room was lovely and simple and the duvets were so comfortable we wanted to find out how to buy them and take them home. Amenities were great, and we enjoyed the onsen with a gorgeous view of the forest. The meals were great, but just so much food we felt bad we couldn't come close to finishing it. Close to the city so it was easy to get to, but far enough away that it felt tranquil and calm. The gardens were beautiful and the staff were very helpful and accomodating.

Unfortunately, the garden was closed and my parents really wanted to stroll around the path of such a beautiful place.

Very clean and well maintained property with exceptionally friendly staff.

Breakfast was full course and excellent the fish is grilled at the table. Traditional Japanese dinner was the best choice

The bathroom was really big, and also the room space, the traditional japanese style diffuses some relaxing feelings.

Amazing ryokan at every level. Strongly strongly recommend, and will definitely go back!

The room AC was locked to the hotel staff, and unfortunately the set temperature was a bit too warm, so our group sweated a bit even in our provided yukata during night.

For its price, Nenrinbo is affordable and delivers on a traditional experience. The location is a bit out of the way but it's also what you'd expect and probably should look for for Ryokans to begin with; with this in consideration, the hotel does offer shuttle service in the morning. The kaiseki dinner and breakfast were both hearty and delicious.

Everything was perfect! The staff is absolutely adorable and so so nice! The rooms were very spacious, very clean and so pretty. It was an amazing experience to stay at this Ryokan. The location, albeit not the easiest accessible, is gorgeous. The lobby was gorgeous, with a view on a splendid garden. The overall atmosphere of this Ryokan is what you expect: poetic and heart warming. We also tried their Kaiseki dinner which was a wonderful, albeit intersting, experience! The traditionnal breakfast on the morning was also very enjoyable. After dinner, we went to the public bath to relax before the night. It was, as always, a wonderful experience that we would recommend to anyone! This accomodation definitely exceeded our expectations. The staff helped us when we had an issue with our taxi on our leaving day and we couldn't be more thankfull! They were always there for us and made us feel welcomed right away. Thank you again for caring about us so much.

It is a bit remote and harder to access

The atmospere, the food

Stayed in November 2023

Just bear in mind that you're located far away from city center.

Good Ryokan with good value for money. Located at walking distance from Golden Pavillion (Kinkaku-ji). Premises are modern and clean. Rooms are spacious. Free shuttle to a metro station. Staff is polite and helpful. Public bath is relatively big. Breakfast is good to very good Don't hesitate to try the dinner (to be announced 1 day in advance)1

No criticism, all great.

This is a very traditional Japanese Ryokan. If you're looking for an authentic experience, this is it. Very comfortable, futons are on the floor so please do not expect a bed. However, clean, comfortable and lovely food. There is a single sex hot bath and shower area which is incredibly convenient and lovely addition to the hotel.

I underestimated the location from the perspective of public transport, getting to different points of interest, esp. during weekends/public holidays. Laundry option would be great (also given it's quite some distance to public laundry)

We have had great experience with Japanese style room, very tasty food, ambience and private baths. Ryokan has really special atmosphere. Celebration of meals (breakfasts and dinners) was very special. Super friendly staff. Both public baths (small and big) were very nice. Swimming pool - nice and very much needed in August. Size of the room - very comfortable.

- As it was remote, it was quite difficult to get to (a bus which was full) - Would have been nice to get a yukata for our 2 year old son (we got one at a previous ryokan)

- Quiet location away from City Centre and tourists - At the same time, walking distance to Golden Temple (Kinkakuji) and Rock Garden (Ryoanji) - Onsen / hot bath was great - Swimming pool is very pleasant too

Inner garden is closed for guests

Spacious room!

The ryokan was so comfortable that we would have loved to stay longer !

It was amazing to have so much space after being in smaller apartments throughout our trip. Our room was much nicer than the photos shown and the yakutas were nice and comfortable. Thank you for our delicious breakfast and dinner that was full of variety! The onsen was very relaxing. We were fortunate to have the whole place to ourselves
