Two night stay with my partner. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

客室は比較的きれいでしたが、ベッドのマットレスは硬めでしたので寝心地はあまり快適ではありませんでした。
又、テレビが故障していたのか、スイッチを入れても動きませんでした。チェックイン前に全ての設備が正常に動くかどうか点検等を行って頂ければうれしいです。
スタッフの方も常時いないようなので、不安でもありました。

駅から少し歩きますが、夜は大変静かで過ごしやすいと思います。部屋が4部屋ということもあり、朝夕ゆったりするには良いと思います。部屋のエアコンは自由に設定できます。窓のブラインドが使いにくいので、こちらは早めに直した方が良いと思います。清掃は全体的にはできていると思います。1点前の宿泊者の方のものか、一部衣類の忘れ物があったので、ベットの下はもう少し見た方が良いです。
部屋は思った以上に広いですね。お風呂も十分な広さあり。接客も気持ちよいです。

エスノグラフィーホテルは東山三条に続いて二回目でした。
東山三条のスタッフの方から枳穀の杜がお薦めで、朝食もフレンチレストランからのお取り寄せだと伺い、こちらに予約を致しました。
残念ながら、朝食の業者が変わってしまい、東山三条と同じだという事でしたので、今回は朝食なしのプランに致しました。
東本願寺の飛び地、渉成園の横にあり、とても静かな環境で、ゆっくり過ごす事が出来ました。

最喜欢的一家日本酒店
这是我第二次入住此酒店，第一次入住时就给我很好的印象。这个酒店只有前台员工，4天一共见了5个不同的员工，有英国人，日本人，意大利人和尼泊尔人，是个小联合国，跟他们聊天很有趣。酒店房间很大，温度设定很灵敏，关键是制热时没有讨厌的噪音。对我来说这点很重要。酒店的备品也不像一般的日本酒店那样过于环保而牺牲一些舒适性。酒店位置非常好，从京都站过来步行8分钟，走到鸭川的饭店街也只需要15分钟。由于是个小型酒店，所以也不用担心旅行团带来的嘈杂，关键还有着非常合理的价格。这次我带了一个礼物给这家酒店，是北京紫禁城的鼠年日历，酒店的休息区你可以看到它。如果您去请把您入住的那一页写上祝福，愿世界和平，愿武汉的疫情尽快过去。
