This property was little bit outdated. AC was Leaking out of water that I need to put a towel underneath . Bedroom ventilation doesn’t work. Bed and pillows are super uncomfortable. Me & my daughter got insect bites all over the body.

Great all around hotel at an even better price. Had a poor stay at another hotel before EN Hotel Kyoto and it's safe to say that it saved the trip. Very friendly and helpful staff, clean room, good amenities and decent location. Only things is change are putting an outlet in the bathroom and making the bathroom itself a bit bigger. Other than that, I think you’d have a hard time finding a better bang for your buck.

The hotel was ok. The WiFi has awful and for travellers from abroad WiFi is pretty key in order to plan your day etc. The hotel was very noisy, as in from your room you could hear everything in the corridor. There was also a smell of smoke when the window was open. Location was good but if you plan to stay for a well, I’d look elsewhere.

Lots of positives about the place but several things really bothered us during our stay. First, the wifi was horrible for our floor. No connection all the time and had to use our data most of the time. Second, the bathroom is way too tiny even in Japan standard. Lastly, the AC was incredibly loud and many other amenities need an upgrade very soon.

Would stay here again!
This hotel was overall beautiful, great location and comfortable for the 4 of us to stay in 1 room. Keeping in mind everything is just smaller in Japan, that would be my only con is there really is no floor space with 4 beds but other than that I have no complaints. Staff was always nice and helpful!

Nice hotel, great location as it’s so close to the bus stops and station which made it easy to get around. The staff were always so pleasant and accommodating, the room itself was a normal size (what you expect in Japan) and the amenities were good. Only wish that they cleaned our room/ bathroom better when we put our sign out as we stayed there 4 nights so fresh sheets and a general clean would’ve been nice but not a deal breaker at all! Also found great little food spots near us and the markets are close by! As well as a family mart right across the street, which was sooo handy! Would recommend for an affordable and nice stay to anyone looking in Kyoto!

Had a perfect stay here, located right next to so many food options, and a bus stop. I'd say the best thing about this hotel is that its located so close to the Nishiki Marke, and sooo many shopping places from designer, vintage, and other name brands. I could shop there forever.

En Hotel Kyoto
En hotel Kyoto is clean and comfortable in a neighborhood with restaurants and bars. The breakfast set at this hotel is nothing special. The basement “lounge” is dingy and should be skipped. Adequate.

Overpriced and not worth the money.
The property is not worth staying. I would not come back again. Paid $300/night for a subpar twin room. The issue isn't the service but the actual amenities and room.
Few key things of note:
-room size and layout: it is barely larger than what APA typically offers for their rooms but it's 3x the $$$.
***There is a slight step by the entrance where folks typically put their slippers but unlike most places where you can spot this, it is literally less than a full step away from the door and awkwardly shaped. We almost tripped on TWO occasions coming into the room.
-The breakfast: not worth getting. It's one plate of food of which consist of a scoop of garden salad and two small pieces of bread and 2-3 thin slices of orange(they don't even provide half a fruit!) and a small bowl of soup. There was nothing else (no eggs,meat ,rice)
Juice was prepackaged. For anyone staying here just avoid the breakfast you'll have more food and options in the middle of a flight. Just go to a 7-11 nearby.
The beds:the bed toppers they use are much larger than the mattress. If you sit or sleep anywhere close to the edge you'll slide.
The bathroom: it's small, literally one or two small steps are enough to cover the dimensions of the bathroom floor. No extra towels.
Toilet: cramped space and the fact that the bidet top that they installed is much larger than the base of the toilet seat will make you feel like You're constantly sliding when sitting on the toilet. This is not comfortable.

I give it the total score of 4.5 over 5,.so I like it overall . However, it does have a few drawbacks. 1. Bathroom design should be improved for feet and leg safety. 2. Two Laundry machines in the building basement is not enough for so many customers. 3. Although the room is small, no chair is still hard to accepted. The lounge in the basement is crowded sometimes.

3 January 2024
The rooms were full of dust, the bed was made up from 4 children's like mattresses that were joined together, making the sleep impossible and the bathroom was really dirty. On top of that, there was not even a seat in the room to stay on and the mattresses were simply put on the floor, accentuating the feeling of dirtiness because of all the dust was at the face level.
The room was next to the cleaners' room at the end of the hallway and from very early in the morning, the noise was loud and unpleasant, sealing a night of poor sleep with an early morning abrupt wake.
The other hotel inhabitants were noisy up until late in the night and we also got a lot of food smells and smoke from a restaurant below.
Really bad experience.
