It is close to the Kyoto Station, easy access to trains, metro and bus. The onsen is small compare to the hotel size but better than none. Dinning area always packed with people and need to queue up to be seated and for the food. More western option for breakfast would be perfect.

the front desk staff spoke limited English

Great place stayed for Kyoto visit. Close to Kyoto station, great facilities, clean and nice breakfast buffet.

Good location, spa and service are also good, I will come back

Hotel Elcient is located across from the East exit of Kyoto station. The location is so convenient with lots of shopping, dining and tourist sites close by. Its so easy to get around Kyoto with it's location so close to Kyoto station (once you familiarize yourself to the station). Make sure to spend time at Kyoto Station as it's so beautiful with rooftop garden, views, restaurants, shopping, light shows etc. The rooms are clean, spacious (for Japan standards) and have great amenties. The onsen is excellent and the breakfast buffet is plentiful with both Japanese and Western options. The staff are hard working and very friendly. I highly recommend this hotel.

Overall is ok

The place was great, the staff so helpful always trying to communicate even if just some spoke English, super clean, really comfortable. Breakfast options were varied and. Incredible value for the price.

Perfect stay in the hotel , thank you!

Great breakfast!

Very close to train station, great breakfast

They went above and beyond for me. Thank you for helping me to open my luggage. Much appreciated will definitely come back in the future. Arigato gozaimasu

3 mins walk to Kyoto station, very easy to go everywhere and convenient

Their large public bath is excellent.

Great place to stay for easy of getting around, local shopping and dining were great. Breakfast was the same everyday, I don’t recommend eating there

There are plenty of choices for breakfast, i.e. Japanese and western breakfast. Opposite the hotel is Kyoto Train station, subway station and express bus to airport too. Very convenient. Highly recommend for people who rely on local public transport to travel around Kyoto. Definitely will come back again.

Great location to base yourself in Kyoto. The check-in & check-out process was very easy and staff were very helpful.

The hotel location is excellent and close to everything. There services level is low as there is very limited interaction with the staffs.

It’s very close to central station and shops. Friendly staff, clean facilities and generous in giving toiletries.

Very clean and quiet. Nice place to rest your head while you’re not doubt getting 30,000 steps trying to walk all the temples around the area. Gets the job done and is very simple. I couldn’t figure out how to work the fan in the bathroom so I had to open the window and do some funny business with the fan in the room but overall its a great place to rest your head for the night.

Very convenient location, 3 mins walk from Kyoto JR Station and Kyoto Subway station. 1 min walk to bus station to Kansai Airport. Nice breakfast with a range of Japanese and Western food to choose from in a buffet style. I'm surprised that cakes and puffs are served during breakfast time. Room and bed are comfortable. Air conditioner is available and can set any temperature you want. One drawback is that the laundry facilities are not adequate. The washing machines will be locked after using and got to wait for the people to come back to collect their laundry before the next one can use. This is extremely inconvenient and not user friendly. I waited for an hour before the previous person to collect his/her laundry. I tried to ask for front line staff to help but they could do nothing. I saw other people experience the same thing. It was really frustrating to look at the locked machine and could not use it and you never got to know when the person will come to collect the laundry. I stayed in other hotel with washing machines that will not be locked after using and the hotel staff could simply take the uncollected laundry to front desk so other people could use the washing machine.

nice place!

We booked this hotel for the convenient location for the ease of transportation and nearby food choices. AMAZING staff. It is true that they will store your luggage for free, if you desire, after checkout. Breakfast was awesome, especially the Matcha lattes. Quiet even though across from the train station. Our efficiently laid out room faced the parking lot but we didn't hear any cars throughout the night or morning. The spa was refreshing, and there is a a TV information channel that tells you when the restaurant or spa is crowded, full, or under occupied. Strong wifi throughout the building. Be aware that the elevator doors close very quickly, we are fast walkers but it was faster.

Good location

Bathroom is super tight. Room tv program is limited mostly Japanese. Reception staff is not friendly, don't smile or greet. Hotel location is superb and near amenities.

The hotel staff were all very kind and helpful! They also helped us fill out the paper work for the luggage delivery service! And it's also convinently located right next to Kyoto station!

near Kyoto station and convenient

Conveniently located next to the train station.

Easy walking distance to the station

Room is very small. Location is best. 7-11 is just beside it. Airport Limousine Bus from Osaka Kansai Airport drop off is just across the road. Save the trouble of finding your way in the huge Kyoto station. The public bath is an interesting experience for foreigners.

The room was too small for three people. The beds and pillows were uncomfortable.

The location is excellent, breakfast is good but very busy, laundry machine is excellent, spa is crowded.

Awesome quiet hotel next to the train station. Room was decent size.
