A beguiling charming traditional stay in an enchanted low rise part of Kyoto near the river and the bamboo forest. Host could not be more helpful or courteous.

Hotel Emion in Kyoto offered us a great all round experience for a decent price, the public baths are a good alternative to the onsets give the price, food and accommodation were decent. Location was really good- close to most things (20-25 ) min train ride.

It was a great experience staying at the Hotel Ethnography with the helpful staff who spoke excellent English. The room was very spacious for Japanese standard. The hotel is also very close to the Gion Shijo station which is central to all eateries and shops.

This hotel is amazing! Not only clean and quiet and very modern but perfectly positioned close to all of the metro / train stations and hundreds of dinings options. The main road is great and bustling but also take the time to drop back one or two streets and explore the more traditional stores and eateries, it’s like a different city!
I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto!

A really lovely hotel with superb views from the bar in the 8th floor, free drinks on the 3rd floor each day with a great outdoor area. The room was small but had everything you could need and the location was fabulous , so close to trains, buses, very walkable. Right near alleys of cool little restaurants and easy access to so many temples and sites. The staff very nice and helpful . Highly recommended.

This is a very cool hotel and in an excellent location for both exploring on foot and access to the train. I’ll be searching for sister Ace Hotel sites for future travel.

The room was really nice. Very spacious and beautifully designed. Our room appeared to be one of two rooms overlooking a car park but that didn’t bother us. It was a bonus to be able to log in to Netflix at the end of long days touring and making use of the hotel’s happy hour between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm. There’s easy access to their garden. We didn’t eat at their restaurant and the breakfast option did seem a bit pricey. All staff were very friendly and professional. We would definitely stay...

Kenji-san provided exceptional service from start to finish. He greeted us and offered to store our bags as we arrived before the check-in time. When we returned he recognised us and the process to get our room was easy.
We were served by Kenji-san again on our check-out and asked about our stay. Absolutely impeccable.
I enjoyed the fitness room and having the water replenished every day. The use of IPad to control temperature, curtains, lighting and to call for hotel services was unique....
