Hotel Emion KYOTO

We booked a triple room, and it was very spacious. The hotel lobby is beautiful, and the service was excellent. We arrived in the morning before our room was ready, but they let us store our luggage, and by the evening, our bags were already in our room. The location is super convenient, just one subway stop from Kyoto Station. It was easy to get back after dinner in Kyoto and also very convenient for visiting Arashiyama. Overall, we were very satisfied.

This hotel deserves a glowing review, no question about it! The location is super convenient, right outside Umekoji-Kyotonishi Station on the San-in Line, and next to the Railway Museum. The hotel design is beautiful and grand, and the rooms are huge – really, really spacious. Cleanliness is also impeccable. The front desk staff are incredibly friendly and attentive; they remember guests' needs, which is a really thoughtful touch. Honestly, staying here made me love Kyoto even more!

The room was spacious, and the bathroom had a separate shower and toilet, with the shower area being quite large. The room overlooked the fish market, and the hotel is right next to the Railway Museum. It's only one stop from Kyoto Station, which is very convenient. The hotel's shopping arcade has several restaurants, including a famous yakiniku place that's worth trying. The hotel breakfast is a buffet with a decent selection, though it might not suit Chinese tastes.

The hotel is just one subway stop away from Kyoto Station. There's a shuttle bus that runs between the hotel and Kyoto Station, and you can get discount coupons at the hotel lobby. It's 100 yen per ride for both adults and children. On the second floor, there's a restaurant, and on the first floor, there are shops and experience centers for flower arrangement, tea ceremony, and pottery. The hotel also provides discount coupons for dining on the second floor, with no restrictions on use. Each coupon is worth 1000 yen, and we received and used all four of them. Behind the hotel is the Central Fish Market. I recommend visiting between 4-5 AM to witness the wholesale auction. We arrived at 5:45 AM and it was almost over. If waking up that early is too difficult, exploring all the exhibitions in the corridor on the second floor will also provide a lot of interesting insights. Next to the hotel are Umekoji Park, an aquarium, and a railway museum, making it very suitable for families with children. The hotel rooms are spacious, and the hot spring on the third floor is very comfortable. There's also a rooftop on the ninth floor where you can enjoy the night view.
