It was initially hard to find, but that made it quiet. The staff was nice but the housekeeping really stood out. They were really on the ball and friendly. The rooms were dark, which is okay as we needed sleep, but a bit outdated. It was nice having a washing machine.

The eph Kyoto was situated close to the Kyoto Train Station which made it very convenient to taxis, buses, the subway and try bullet trains. What I did not expect was it's zen-like understated beauty and it's quietness. The room was large with a kitchen and washer/drier. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Super experience!

Exemplary!! Washing machine in your room!

Absolutely exceptional. Perfect central location near the station and Donqui. Breakfast was beautiful every day and having your own washing machine was a god send. Twin beds push together easily and fresh towels daily. A rare gem and will come here again

A great hotel in a great location.

A wonderful hotel on the less busy side of Kyoto station. Located in a quiet alley, it was an easy walk from the Shinkansen, Kyoto JR station and subway lines and a great base for exploring Kyoto and beyond. It was lovely to have a large room with kitchen and laundry facilities and a large bathroom with separate toilet. The cold drinks in the lobby after 3pm were very welcome after being out in the heat and humidity. We only had breakfast there once but it was very pleasant and the service was very friendly. Highly recommend staying here. My only small issue was there was a tiny gap in the between the edge of the bling and the window which meant some bright light shone in from the feature lighting on the stonework outside the windows, but i was mostly too tired for it to bother me.

Stayed in a deluxe Hollywood twin room for 4 nights and really enjoyed our time at this hotel. First off, the hotel is not even a 5 minute walk from Kyoto station, which was very convenient for exploring the city. Second, the hotel was off the main road on a small side street, which we loved as it made the area very quiet the whole day. Third, the staff and the room are amazing - the staff were very friendly and helped us with any questions we had. The room and twin beds were big! Also really enjoyed having a mini kitchen and washer/dryer in the room (note: it does take up to 5 hrs for the washer and dryer to complete, but there is multiple laundry mats around the hotel). When we are back in Kyoto, we will be staying here again.
