Room was great, just as they appeared in picture. The garden outside was very special. Overall stay was very peacefil and serene. Staff lacks english but were friendly.

客室は比較的きれいでしたが、ベッドのマットレスは硬めでしたので寝心地はあまり快適ではありませんでした。 又、テレビが故障していたのか、スイッチを入れても動きませんでした。チェックイン前に全ての設備が正常に動くかどうか点検等を行って頂ければうれしいです。 スタッフの方も常時いないようなので、不安でもありました。

Two night stay with my partner. The hotel had a very authentic Japanese atmosphere and the staff was friendly. The room was tidy and spacious and we really enjoyed our stay.

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.

In questa location si è nel centro della città senza remdersene conto. Silenziosa fuori dal traffico e le camere sono veramente spaziose e comode. In 3 mn si è alla metropolitana verde oalla fermata del bus che porta a gion. Tutto perfetto complimenti.

Clean, charming, quiet and wonderful service. Bed is harder than most hotels in the US.

Great place! Highly recommend. The rooms were cute and spacious and it was easy to walk to the Kyoto station. Great find!

スタッフが素人すぎて泊まらずにチェックアウトしてきました。 みなさんも絶対泊まらない方がいいです！

Staff are friendly and provide English service. Breakfast is good.

100% recommend hotel, tidy and clean, staffs are kind and helpful.

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.

Me encantó este hotel: el cuarto era muy espacioso, bonito, cómodo y de limpieza impecable. Rico el desayuno, el hotel muy bien ubicado, pero sobre todo, llama la atención el servicio premium de su personal: me ayudaron en todo, eran super amables, y me hicieron sentir como en casa!

初めて宿泊しました。スタッフの方の対応もすごく良く、館内も清潔感がありとても良かったです

駅から少し歩きますが、夜は大変静かで過ごしやすいと思います。部屋が4部屋ということもあり、朝夕ゆったりするには良いと思います。部屋のエアコンは自由に設定できます。窓のブラインドが使いにくいので、こちらは早めに直した方が良いと思います。清掃は全体的にはできていると思います。1点前の宿泊者の方のものか、一部衣類の忘れ物があったので、ベットの下はもう少し見た方が良いです。 部屋は思った以上に広いですね。お風呂も十分な広さあり。接客も気持ちよいです。

とてもきれいで、大人な空間

設備が新しく、とても綺麗でした。市街地にあるので眺望はイマイチですが、こだわりのある室内で十分楽しめました。

清掃も行き届いていて使いやすかった
