Easily one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had during any of my travels.
Pros:
- The staff are attentive, thoughtful, and accommodating.
- The facilities (including a guest lounge and kitchen) are immaculate, comfortable, and tastefully decorated.
- The room was clean, spacious, and stocked with a thoughtful arrangement of amenities that were constantly replenished.
- The complementary breakfast was simple, but provided all the essentials for a day out exploring Kyoto (protein, carbs, fat, and of course coffee).
- The rooms were equipped with a touchscreen tablet interface for media, front desk calls, outgoing phone calls, etc. When ours went on the fritz the staff went to great pains to repair it at our convenience.
- Personally, I loved the nightgown provided and wore it at every opportunity. Who knew pantsless nightwear was so comfortable!
- Special thank you to Atsushi for his efforts to repair our tablet.
Cons:
- My only minor gripe was that many taxi drivers seemed to have a hard time finding the hotel. This may have been due to communication barriers though.
Overall, my stay at Enso Ango Tomi 1 really made my stay in Kyoto that much more special and I would recommend this to any traveler to Kyoto.
