HOTEL ELCIENT KYOTO HACHIJOGUCHI

The hotel location is very strategic, less than 200 meters from the Hachijo exit of Kyoto Station, Kyoto bus station is right in front of the hotel, close to the Mall, close to 7Eleven and Family Mart, many places to eat around the hotel. The staff is friendly and attentive. Check in via a machine guided by the staff. The hotel facilities are very good: comfortable room, clean and fragrant bedding, complete toiletries, converter cable provided, hairdryer, complimentary drinking water, tea and coffee are also available, the hotel has coin laundry facilities, microwave and vending machines, there are also hot spring facilities. Breakfast is delicious with a varied menu. The view at breakfast is the Kyoto bus station and the local hustle and bustle of going to work is exciting because it adds to the spirit. Will book Elcient again when visiting Kyoto again.

Hotel yang benar-benar nyaman dan bersih. Stasiun kereta pas di seberang hotel, halte bus pas di depan hotel. Mau ke mana-mana mudah. Ada minimarket di samping hotel. Pokoknya lokasi hotel yang super strategis buat keliling Kyoto. Bintang 5 buat Elcient Hotel.

Friendly & helpful staff, very strategic location, close to Kyoto Eki. Will stay here again soon.

We found this place to be our best stay other than the washroom (explain below). We stayed 8 nights. It was ultra convinent and about 2 mins to Shinkansen gate for our day trips from Kyoto. Right below the entrance is a 7-11 to pick up snacks and drinks before heading back for a good night's rest or on the go in the morning. The other two things that really shone for us were the cleaning staff and how meticulous they were at cleaning and you become spoiled, as were so disgusted the moment we arrived to our Tokyo hotel seeing grime and mildew. Next what we thought was amazing were their Japanese breakfast buffet. Great quality and variety compared to the 3 hotels we stayed in Kyoto from past trips. Beds and pillows were comfy and we fell a sleep non problem every night (our room did face the interior so no view and no traffic noise). Now the one caveat is the washrooms are small! I wonder if the future renos (noted for 2026) will fix that. Toilet faces a wall with about 1.5' of leg room at most. If you're over 5' 10" you may find find it crampy (literally) as my son experienced. We made use of the laundry facility that was convinent and browsed manga from their library. We never found time to use their spa though I did see a lot of guests go, not our thing after a hot summer day. Definitely return to this hotel in future for the convinence to Kyoto station, cleaniness and amazing breakfast buffet.

Excellent location if you are in Kyoto as the train station is very close by.
