Hotel with Onsen/ Hot Spring”
Either for work or relaxation, this hotel provides relaxation of Hot Spring outside the room, located on 2nd floor. There’s also stem room available if one is going for Hot Spring. Men and Women is separated so it’s safe for those conservatives but clothes are off once you’re in the Hot Spring.
The name I think was changed from El Inn Kyoto to its current name so look out if there’s a name difference and yet your google map shows you’re already passed.

Great indoor public bath and right next to the Hachijo exit of Kyoto Station which makes it a convenient place to start from for sightseeing since trains, buses, and taxis are all within easy reach. There is also a nice and comfortable Japanese style restaurant connected to the hotel, nothing too fancy but a step up from a family restaurant with decent prices. Although, since it's so close to the station there are many other food choices within walking distance. The staff was incredibly helpful and can speak decent English.

Close to station and lawson supermarket nearby. Easy to find foods in the station. Just a bit dissappointed of an extra charge of ¥200 per person per night for the tax purpose even though I have paid everything through agoda.

Very nice hotel at right location”
This hotel is located very very near to Kyoto station (just ooposite) which is near the Coach bus terminal. It is a old hotel that has renovated with very nice design. Japanese yukata is proivded for your convenience to visit the Big baht house at level 2. The room has multiple USB plugs for you to charge your devices (WOW!). The room decoration is sleek and simplicity mode. The ground floor restaurant provides very nice buffet breakfast (both jap / western), really good with varieties. There is a shopping mall with Don Qijitote just within 50m so you can simply do you shopping for cheap items. I would love to stay in this hotel for my next trip. Fantastic location and accommodation.

The hotel location was very good, right next to the Kyoto station. Good to go to anywhere for sight seeing. The spa was excellent which was one of the reasons I chose this hotel. The triple room was in fact a double room with an extra bed. It was too small for 3 persons and no were to lay down our luggage.
