"Big, clean room in a great location. The hotel is well maintained and feels contemporary.
The only caveat (which is to be expected in Kyoto) was the mass chaos of the breakfast buffet."

We had a wonderful 5 night stay at Miru Kyoto Gion. Beautiful room in the perfect location and close to the subway line. All the staff were lovely especially Jose. Don’t hesitate to book this lovely gem.

Excellent room for families, and washing machine in the room was great. All needs met including the loan of a toaster for breakfast.
Location was good for buses, trains and walking to tourist spots.
Staff were lovely and always greeted us with a warm welcome.
If I had to be picky, the block out blinds didn't block much but if that's the worst thing, its pretty good.
Highly reccomend.

This hotel is amazing! Not only clean and quiet and very modern but perfectly positioned close to all of the metro / train stations and hundreds of dinings options. The main road is great and bustling but also take the time to drop back one or two streets and explore the more traditional stores and eateries, it’s like a different city!
I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto!

Kenji-san provided exceptional service from start to finish. He greeted us and offered to store our bags as we arrived before the check-in time. When we returned he recognised us and the process to get our room was easy.
We were served by Kenji-san again on our check-out and asked about our stay. Absolutely impeccable.
I enjoyed the fitness room and having the water replenished every day. The use of IPad to control temperature, curtains, lighting and to call for hotel services was unique....

We loved our time here. It was really accessible to a subway and there were heaps of things to do within walking distance. We’d happily stay here again!

A really lovely hotel with superb views from the bar in the 8th floor, free drinks on the 3rd floor each day with a great outdoor area. The room was small but had everything you could need and the location was fabulous , so close to trains, buses, very walkable. Right near alleys of cool little restaurants and easy access to so many temples and sites. The staff very nice and helpful . Highly recommended.

It was a great experience staying at the Hotel Ethnography with the helpful staff who spoke excellent English. The room was very spacious for Japanese standard. The hotel is also very close to the Gion Shijo station which is central to all eateries and shops.

Great location, spacious rooms, though the shower room (separate to toilet) could use more hooks or shelving. However, the absolute highlight were the staff. Extremely helpful with our requests and so kind to go above and beyond with their service, I wouldn’t bother looking anywhere else. Would stay here again.

We had a very positive stay at this hotel. Its location close to the train station was extremely convenient, especially on days when we spent a lot of time walking and exploring.
As is common in Japan, hotel rooms tend to be quite compact, so the ground-floor lounge area was a great addition. It provided a comfortable space to have coffee, eat, or simply relax outside the room.
The hotel's laundry facilities were always busy, but there are two excellent coin laundries less than a five-minute...
