My husband and I stayed at this little gem of a hotel in 2009 for a week. We are revisiting Kyoto in December this year 2010 and have re-booked Econo-Inn. The room was very clean, the staff friendly and the free internet was a bonus. Having a refrigerator and tea and coffee facilities near the reception added to the experience.... More

Japan is an expensive place to stay, and we found the Econo Inn offered excellent value for money. As 4 friends happy to share, we opted for the Japanese style Tatami room. Complete with two bathrooms (each of which had toiletries included) this was a great option for us, and sleeping on the tatami mats made us feel we were... More

I stayed in this cute hotel for a total of 6 nights. The location is great - walking distance to Kiyomizu Temple and Gion, two of the most famous attractions in Kyoto.

My wife and I decided to stay here after looking at the reviews posted on Trip Advisor, we aim to stay on something budget but clean and comfortable. Once again, were not dissapointed. It is clean (as most Japanesse accomodation). Plus, has free internet (they have a free pc also if you are not carrying a laptop), offers free coffee/tea... More

When I was organizing accommodation options for Kyoto, I found that both Western Hotels and ryokans seemed overpriced compared to other places in Japan. As this was my first time to Kyoto, I figured that this was clearly on the tourist trail and the prices matched accordingly. Econo Inn proved a decent stay for us. I didn't mind the walk... More
