"It was an amazing experience at Prince Kyoto. The view from the room was breath taking. It’s one of the best experiences I have had staying at this hotel. The staff was extremely polite and went above and beyond to help. We enjoyed their hospitality and kindness. Love to stay here again in future."

We had a very good stay at Umekoji Potel Kyoto, and the hotel itself was lovely. However, the worst part was receiving a phone call from the hotel at midnight asking us to come down to the lobby to pay the Kyoto accommodation tax. Since we were staying for two nights, this could easily have been handled the next morning. Asking guests to come down at 12 am was unnecessary and inconvenient, especially for a family travelling with a child. I believe the staff need more training in guest service...

This is the most amazing little hotel we ever stayed at and we do travel a lot. Our superior room was big compared to the average Japanese hotel room and the bathroom was very modern. The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful - special thanks to the chef who realised that we did not really eat much of our Japanese breakfast and made us a more European style breakfast the next day with coffee!!! We did not expect this so “arigato”

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.

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....
