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. ##### Tiia Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alla 21 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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 ##### Alla Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Corey 14 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Clean, charming, quiet and wonderful service.

Breakfast is good. ##### Artha Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kay 25 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Kay ### 10/10 Excellent #### AKIKO 4 Jul 2025 ##### AKIKO Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Andrea 1 Jun 2025 ##### Andrea Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 3 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Katie 5 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Quiet hotel off the beaten path, HARD beds 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. ##### Katie Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alberto 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities In questa location si è nel centro della città senza remdersene conto.
