This place was incredible! Couldn't ask for more, the rooms were big, the beds were comfy, the bathrooms were great. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and very clean and modern. Also the price was very reasonable for what we got. We kept thinking wow I can't believe we could afford this place since it was cheaper than some hostel's we stayed at in Tokyo. Also the roof terrace was beautiful ❤️ and there are 24hr vending machines downstairs with drinks, snacks, ice cream and beer which we used all the time. Also the room had a large TV with YouTube and a ton of info about the hotel. Like there's a channel that shows which washing machines are available and how long they have left til they're finished which was super useful Also it would play these bgm tracks that we thought were really funny.

The only thing was we couldn't use the public bath because they don't allow tattoos, which was disappointing because we didn't see this information anywhere but the private bathroom in the hotel room still had a very large bathing room and a very big deep tub so that worked for us.

Clean, good space and very friendly staff. Perfect location just 200 meters from JR local train station, on the same line as the stations close to Bamboo Forest, Golden Temple and the Kyocera Sanga Stadium. Also just one (3 min) stop from Kyoto Station. Quiet area. First two floors of the building have a small shopping mall with restaurants.

Worth noting is that since its a less intense area of Kyoto theres is not a wide range of ”open late” restaurants (including the ones at level 1) around the hotel. If you arrive later than 21,00 you might have to trust the 7/11 next door for your evening snack.

Location is great. Walk outside and the JR station is there to take you where you need to go.

Had a more traditional Japanese breakfast. Which was nice. Though when you have kids, they would only eat the pancakes and sausages. So pretty much paid $30 for my kid to have 3 pancakes.

Room was really spacious for a family of 4. 4 comfortable beds, and still ample space to open the luggaes. Bathroom was also very spacious. There are 5 restaurants at the entrance + seven/ eleven rights outside. I also saw other restaurants and a Lawson 5 minutes walking distance away. Silent neighborhood. The metro station is literally next door. Public bath + sauna were exceptionally good.

I gave 9 and 10 only because of the laundry machines. There are only 4 with wash/dry function. This means practically nothing came out dry. After I gave up trying, I walked to the coin laundry 7 minutes away to redeem my sanity. This is the only hick up. Other than that the hotel is simply great. Don't think twice to book if you are going to kyoto. A bit distant from nshiki market etc but nothing a short Uber ride cannot solve.

- Room size, bathroom size - Separate bathroom and toilet - Onsen (but we didn’t use it) - Easy access by a bridge to the train station - Location is only a train station away from Kyoto station

- Dark coloured carpet so I can’t tell if there’s dirt or stains. Uncomfortable about it. - Toilet seats - small and no heating - Toilet paper too thin and also not individually wrapped when I asked the room cleaning staff for it which is unhygienic. - Shower control and temperature control are hard to use. They’re tight and hard to turn. - Tap lever on the sink is also hard to control and adjust. They’re tight and not smooth. And the water flow is also forceful and not smooth. Then the sink is so small that water splashed out. - Toilet smells. Could be poor sanitation system. At the start when I just checked in I have noticed it but because we have another group staying next door so I didn’t request to move to other rooms. It was a short stay so we tried to put up with it.

The hotel is very new, very clean. The location is very close to the train station. It’s only one metro stop away from main Kyoto Station. The room is very spacious for 4 of us. Bathroom has separate toilet, shower, wash/brush area so 2-3 people can share at the same time. Lots of amenities in the room: coffee, tea, slippers, PJs, combs, toothbrushes etc. Sauna, jacuzzi, hot & cold water bath on 3rd floor. Hotel also gave out free welcome drink coupons and shopping/dinning coupons, which we used to eat in one the restaurants in the hotel. This is one of the best hotels we stayed so far, for a very reasonable price.

None.

The hot tub and the staff were top notch. I really loved that they were so accommodating and kind, always willing to explain and when it came to language barriers, extra measures were taken so that both parties understood each other. The hot tub featured 3 tubs, 2 heated and one cold, along with a sauna room. The locker and shower facilities were great and unexpectantly had a great time.

I thought the breakfast was alright. Nothing too spectacular for the money. However, i do appreciate the range of selection that they offer. It is indeed a fair price but I would rather go to a local place for a lower cost and a better experience overall. I also did have a little stomachache after eating but that could be just due to my weak stomach. Overall the experience was good at the breakfast buffet but it was more of a one time thing.

The rooms are definitely much bigger than those similiar class we stayed in during our previous 4 trips tp Kyoto. The rooms are cleaned with a mixed touch of modernity and traditional Japanese elements. So it gives you a different feel. The public bath facilitiy is a feather on the cap as it provides you with an additional venue to relax after a long day of sightseeing. The service here was top notch. I made this comment as we stayed in a five stars hotel in Osaka before Kyoto and the service at this five star hotel was way below a three stars such as Emion Hotel. In fact i find Emion Hotel should belongs to a four stars hotel category. Location......dont expect to walk to Gion or any attractions. However, the hotel is linked to a train station which is only one stop away from Kyoto Station. Eventhough we drive, we parked our car near the hotel and took a taxi to everywhere and it is pretty affordable. We dont drive because parking in Gion or attractions will kill you.

The breakfast was excellent variety of western and Japanese selections and excellent value. The beds were very comfortable and nice sheets. The bathroom “extras” such as hair brush toothbrush/paste and face creams etc were appreciated. The heating and air in rooms perfect. The spa facilities amazing with everything you’d need and very clean. My first experience of Japanese’s public spa and I loved it.

Nothing. Thank you for everything

The location is the most convenient for you to go watch fish auction in the early morning (start at 5am, Wednesday and Sunday closed) at the back of the hotel. There is information & visitor area specially for it which is very near to the hotel. (have to walk out from the side door 1st floor of the hotel to the visitor area at 5am) The staff is friendly and kind. 4 people room is quite spacey and comfy. There are 2 wash basins, 1 bathroom and 1 toilet (all separately) in the room. It is easy to go between JR station and the hotel. The onsen is quite nice. And there is rooftop area for viewing the panorama scenery of the city. There is also a 7-11 convenient store nearby. The restaurant in the hotel is delicious!
