Small but lovely property with friendly receptionist who spoke good English. We stayed in the garden room on the ground floor which was a little dark even during the day, but very nice. Easy walk to the station was a bonus.

Absolutely lovely little hotel, that offers spacious rooms ( hard to find in big cities of Japan). Front desk hours are well pronounced, and there was always someone at those hours. Its only few rooms hotel, so do not expect an attendances or room service. If you are looking for spacious, two beds room, this is a great find. There was a refrigerator in the room, bathtub and shower and everything you need, easy to find, great location

The room was very large and nice. Good location. Four stars because the staff was around only at odd hours. Very difficult getting help. They provided us with incorrect information about their ability to help us transfer our luggage from Kyoto to the airport.

Pros: quiet, clean and modern, relatively large room, nice lighting, affordable Cons: limited front desk hours, window faces a wall, heater was malfunctioning, beds were harder than other Japanese hotels I liked the aesthetic of this hotel room, but I won’t stay again due to the uncomfortable beds. I like a firm mattress, but this felt like sleeping on a slab of concrete. That, coupled with a heater that wasn’t working, is the reason for the 3-star review.

Our daughter recommended Hotel Ethnography as she stayed here a few weeks before us. It is a charming hotel, great value for money and highly recommended. We received a warm welcome from Alessio when we arrived and were delighted with the large spotlessly clean twin room we were allocated. Breakfast was simple, tasty and nutritious and great value at 800 Yen. The location was perfect as we arrived at the station and it took less than 10 minutes to walk to the hotel. Sightseeing was easy - on foot or by train. The Shosei-en garden next to the hotel is well worth a visit and the magnigficent Higashi Honganji temple is only a 2 minute walk from the hotel. The Gion entertainment area is a bit further away but only a 15 minute walk from the hotel. After staying in large, expensive and impersonal hotels in Osaka and Tokyo we appreciated the personal service from the friendly staff at Hotel Ethnography. Many thanks to Alessio, Tanaka and the 2 ladies at reception for making us feel so welcome and for being so helpful. We hope to come back again.

Room was clean, spacious and comfortable. It’s in a quiet and nice area yet it’s walkable from Kyoto JR station and there are lots of dinning options. Staff were super helpful and nice.

This place just feels like home. We booked a Superior Twin Room in this wonderful boutique hotel and the room was luxuriously spacious with a space that felt more like a junior suite than just a hotel room. The hotel only has 5 rooms and felt more like staying at a ryokan (sans halfboard) but this gave us a very quiet relaxed place to come back to after a full day of exploring. The room, and the hotel itself, is beautifully designed with modern Japanese furnishings. The beds here are firm but comfortable and the bathroom had a large bath/shower washroom adjoining a large sink and changing area and a roomy separate toilet. The bathroom toiletries are fantastic and smell driving, and the towels are super fluffy. There was a table and chairs as well as a sofa in the room which was great for having a sit down without messing up the beds. I also appreciated the abundance of hooks, cupboard space and hangers so plenty of space for hanging big winter coats as well as a bit of hand washing. The hotel is situated less than 5 minutes walk to Gojo Subway Station and about 10 minutes walk which is convenient for getting around to all the sights and although located in a quiet neighborhood, there’s a few restaurants as you walk towards Kyoto Station and within

Beautiful hotel with spacious rooms. Helpful and friendly staff. Meals were excellent although mostly vegetarian..occassional chicken or egg. Wished I had used the complimentary cell phone more for directions. Eco-friendly and all decor is handcrafted in Kyoto. Will stay here again!

It might take 5 to 10 mins to walk from station to this hotel but the room space is big, with japanese zen style, totally worthy it. My top 1 stay (among) 3 in my trip to Osaka & Kyoto. Love it!

A very small hotel, but with spacious comfortable rooms about a 10 min walk from the Kyoto Station. Seems like an older apartment that was totally revamped and turned into a hotel. Whoever did the remodel didn't cut corners. Plenty of space, can easily sleep 3 people with enough space for luggage. Great furnishing and left with nothing to complain about. * Mattress is airweave which is known to be a quality mattress in Japan. * It's not your typical "hotel." There's about 5-6 rooms and it feels like you're a guest at someone's house. * Front is totally bilingual. We exchanged Japanese and English. * There is a cafe called Walden Woods Cafe a block or two away PLEASE GO! * Breakfast was unique and reminded me of Bed n Breakfast. * You get a smartphone you can take with you. The phone is NOT hotspotable. * Solid wifi, big tub, separate bathroom, plenty of closet space, etc. * Maybe one good / bad point is that it's not in a busy area, so you won't have convenience store downstairs, BUT it's nice and quiet.

The Hotel Ethnography Kikoku no Mori was wonderful. So much better than we had expected. It was located within walking distance of the Kyoto train station and several bus routes which made getting around town very easy. The staff was terrific and very helpful in suggesting places to visit. The room was very comfortable and modern. Many extras like toothbrush, hair brush, hair tie and razor were included on the bathroom vanity. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.
