The male staff members were most unhelpful and some barely spoke/understood english (they felt repeating themselves without answering the question would be ok). Often they would just stand there or go about their business ignoring you The female staff was the other extreme. very helpful and very supportive. so if you have issues, talk to one of the ladies who will actually help you out.
The room was a hole in the wall with uneven floors and a steep step off coming out of the bathroom. this was made worse by the step off when leaving the room. We almost fell twice in the night - they did warn us at check in but nothing prepares you for what they told us. Construction was going on so place was quite noisy and frankly they should have shut down. Pro was connection to public transportation was good and the central location. However, I wouldnt recommend/stay if I go to Kyoto again.

The staff were extremely polite and helpful. The quality of the hotel past the lobby was disgusting and disappointing. The photos on the Expedia website were probably taken ten years ago. The bath was moldy, the vents were full of dust, and the tatami mats were alll stained. I do recommend. This hotel is very over priced.

Had a perfect stay here, located right next to so many food options, and a bus stop. I'd say the best thing about this hotel is that its located so close to the Nishiki Marke, and sooo many shopping places from designer, vintage, and other name brands. I could shop there forever.

I paid and used the washing and drying machine and there were no bags to bring our clean clothes up to our room, so I went up to get a bag to put my clean clothes and some other guess just took out all my clean clothes on the dirts box where people put the dirts out for the dryer. I am a girl and a guy just took out all my clothes, panties and bars out on the open area. I went to the lobby and tried to explained the situation to the staffs and there were 4 staffs and none of them helped me. I felt super unsafe and super not happy about the services. I had never stayed in a hotel feel so insulted. I will never come back again.

Location wise, it is walkable to major shopping areas, that's a plus. However, room wise, the bed is considered low/close to the floor, so it is a bit hard to get up comparing to a standard bed. In addition, there are steps once stepping into the guest room, a step to the bed area, and another step to the bathroom. Not exactly friendly for seniors.

Amazing hotel and staff. Would highly recommend. The lounge in the basement was really nice for the crazy hot July days to give you a nice cool place to recover for the days adventures.

En hotel Kyoto is clean and comfortable in a neighborhood with restaurants and bars. The breakfast set at this hotel is nothing special. The basement “lounge” is dingy and should be skipped. Adequate.

Great all around hotel at an even better price. Had a poor stay at another hotel before EN Hotel Kyoto and it's safe to say that it saved the trip. Very friendly and helpful staff, clean room, good amenities and decent location. Only things is change are putting an outlet in the bathroom and making the bathroom itself a bit bigger. Other than that, I think you’d have a hard time finding a better bang for your buck.

The hotel was ok. The WiFi has awful and for travellers from abroad WiFi is pretty key in order to plan your day etc. The hotel was very noisy, as in from your room you could hear everything in the corridor. There was also a smell of smoke when the window was open. Location was good but if you plan to stay for a well, I’d look elsewhere.
