I really wanted to give this hotel and 'excellent' review - location, price, features, breakfast buns, balcony,all wonderful. However, two things prevent me from doing so. Number one - the beds. Very hard, like sleeping-on-the-floor hard. Being in my 50's, I slept through the night but woke with hips and back aching (this usually doesn't happen to me in hotels)..ouch..the... More

My wife and I ended up staying in Eco and Tec several more nights than we had planned. As others have pointed out, this place is a super deal for those of us looking for reasonably priced lodgings. The rooms are small but really, we spent very little time in them because the Higashiyama area around it is a fantastic... More

Eco and Tec is a great budget option if you're visiting Kyoto - located very near the Higashiyama Metro Station, and multiple bus lines that go to virtually all of the top tourist sites in Kyoto area. Rooms are definitely cramped, but from what I understand par for the course for the area. Very comfortable and clean though. The hotel's... More

###Good### Location: This hotel is in the quiet residential area that is very safe. Although it is not in the prime tourist area, the subway station is within the walking distance. It is also close to the convenience store which you can find any cheap-eat food. Room: I stayed in the triple room. The room was very clean and comfortable-not... More

This is a lovely place to stay whilst in Kyoto. Spotlessly clean place throughout. The price was reasonable and the location is very good for visiting many of the temples and shrines and I was able to walk to many of them, and the pretty Mayuma Park is very close. I also hired a bicycle from Eco and Tec and... More

We were looking for a centrally-located, inexpensive place to spend four nights in Kyoto - Eco and Tec was perfect for this. The location is fantastic - within walking distance to Gion, many shrines/temples (literally right around the corner is Shoren-in!), restaurants, shopping and other fantastic sites. Also very close to the subway (Higashiyama stop), which was easy to navigate.... More

Hotel in a nice location, spacious rooms! Offered small breakfast & tea, water, coffee - anytime! Free wifi as well, rooms even have balconies. A lot of stuff to see around the hotel! Highly reccomended!

I was in Kyoto for a meeting being held near this hotel, and was very pleased with the value provided. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, and the amenities were quite handy. I thoroughly enjoyed the use of a massage chair in the mornings. It's in a quiet location, very near Higashiyama station (I would say easily under a... More

It is a budget hotel and they warn in advance they don’t change the bed linens for staying less than 4 days unless one pays extra for this. The room was comfortable; however, the bathroom was quite small. The location is great – literally just around the corner is the temple Shoren-in, and Chion-in is in a walking distance away.... More
