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.

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!

Very nice room and friendly staff. Room was clean and decently sized. Really close to a station so access to the rest of the city was easy. Nishiki market is a walkable distance. The Pokémon store is also very near by. A family mart is super close. A lot of dining options available

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.

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!

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.

Location wise, it is walkable to major shopping areas, that's a plus. However, room wise, the bed is considered low/close to the floor, so it is a bit hard to get up comparing to a standard bed. In addition, there are steps once stepping into the guest room, a step to the bed area, and another step to the bathroom. Not exactly friendly for seniors.

The room was a little different from photos (single bed room), the bed was smaller than it looked also cold wind was coming in from the window.
Other than that, the whole facility was clean and it was nice to have one free drink at the bar of basement floor.

The male staff members were most unhelpful and some barely spoke/understood english (they felt repeating themselves without answering the question would be ok). Often they would just stand there or go about their business ignoring you The female staff was the other extreme. very helpful and very supportive. so if you have issues, talk to one of the ladies who will actually help you out.
The room was a hole in the wall with uneven floors and a steep step off coming out of the bathroom. this was made worse by the step off when leaving the room. We almost fell twice in the night - they did warn us at check in but nothing prepares you for what they told us. Construction was going on so place was quite noisy and frankly they should have shut down. Pro was connection to public transportation was good and the central location. However, I wouldnt recommend/stay if I go to Kyoto again.

3 night stay, nothing special, good for the price
We stayed here for 3 nights. The check in was lovely, and staff were very helpful with storing our bags during the day so we could explore The city.
The area around the hotel is great - plenty of shops and restaurants, and a train station just a few blocks away.
Unfortunately the room was a bit shabby - the toilet flush was broken and span 360 degrees - getting caught and causing a continual flush after we used the toilet for the first time. The handle for the bathroom was also hanging off - all the screws had come loose. I was able to fix these minor problems myself easily - but it’s a shame neither had been caught by cleaners before our arrival. Otherwise the room was perfectly serviceable - if a bit small - but for the price we paid I think it was very reasonable.
Overall I would recommend this hotel if you’re looking for somewhere clean and cheap to stay - and intend to spend most of your stay outside exploring rather than in the hotel.
