Wonderful room, great location, we absolutely loved it. Would stay there again.

Enso machiya, situato nella zona più storica e antica di Kyoto, é una struttura che riesce a farti sentire la vera essenza di questa città, con un ambiente che risulta essere un ottimo equilibrio tra storia, tradizione e modernità. Il personale è estremamente professionale, con una cordialità e gentilezza che ci porteremo a casa, di ritorno, come cartolina. Lo consigliamo a chiunque voglia sentire e vivere l'atmosfera di Kyoto.

L'unica pecca, ma come di tutto quanto il Giappone, é la mancanza di più cestini all'interno degli alloggi.

The staff was very friendly and courteous.

The door did not insulate sound very well.

Friendly helpful staff, though English is sparse. Large rooms, comfy big beds and soft pillows. AC and heating units upstairs and down. Large modern bath with shower room and hinoki wood tub.

Almost everything is black, (floors, bath tiles, walls, table and chairs, as well as the amenities camouflaged inside the all-black cupboards--mod design kettle, microwave, toaster, mini fridge, plates, mugs, pajamas...) Here we are in the traditional textile neighborhood of Kyoto--it would have been nice to see a spot of color on the walls, and have a soft chair to relax and drink the delicious tea offered! I found the blackness cold and depressing, as well a bit dangerous at night with a small step down in the black bathroom. -it was a pain to lug our (very small) suitcases up narrow steep stairs and, with the large beds, no extra space to put or open bags. Also zero hooks, zero chairs upstairs on which to place clothes. There is a closet at the far end of the downstairs room, so while changing or unpacking we ended up draping clothes over the (hard, black) dining chairs that are right in the middle of the room -There are no soft furnishings on the lower floor, so while there is a TV (esthetically hidden away in the black closet) where would you sit to watch, on a hard black chair? Unappealing. -Another annoyance is no hooks, or towel rails, in the bathroom--where do we put our towels/clothes when bathing? -Be aware if you have mobility issues that the bath/toilet is downstairs from the bedroom (in case you need to pee in middle of the night) luckily there is a (black, metal) banister.
