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

This property is close to Kyoto Station, which made it very handy to get around and visit the sites in Kyoto. The in-room kitchen and washing machine was very helpful during my stay. Beautiful property and wonderful rooms. In a quiet alleyway which meant no loud road noises at night.

Close to Kyoto Station and the connecting rooms are a plus, while the washer/dryer combo in the unit really helped. The floor to ceiling windows made the room seem much bigger. I would stay again at eph Kyoto again. Staff was very helpful and friendly. A wonderful stay.

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!

The staff were so friendly and helpful when we asked questions. They spoke English very well. We arrived early and they looked after our luggage so we could go out. When we got back the luggage was in the room ready for us. Fantastic service and a bonus … great coffee in foyer!
