Staffs are accomodating and has an English speaking staff. Place is clean. It’s conveniently near bus stops coming from International airport and tour buses as well as the train station. Nearby a convenience store. And if you want to dine-out, there are lots of them at the train station including McDonalds in which you won’t miss on your way to the hotel.
Will definitely recommend to family and friends. Big thank you to El Cient.

Wonderful women’s spa! Close to everything! The only issue I had was trying to charge my phone at night. Turning out the lights meant shutting down the power grid in the room. Everything else was absolutely amazing!

It is close to the Kyoto Station, easy access to trains, metro and bus. The onsen is small compare to the hotel size but better than none. Dinning area always packed with people and need to queue up to be seated and for the food. More western option for breakfast would be perfect.

Hotel Elcient is located across from the East exit of Kyoto station. The location is so convenient with lots of shopping, dining and tourist sites close by. Its so easy to get around Kyoto with it's location so close to Kyoto station (once you familiarize yourself to the station). Make sure to spend time at Kyoto Station as it's so beautiful with rooftop garden, views, restaurants, shopping, light shows etc. The rooms are clean, spacious
(for Japan standards) and have great amenties. The onsen is excellent and the breakfast buffet is plentiful with both Japanese and Western options. The staff are hard working and very friendly. I highly recommend this hotel.
