This was a lovely hotel, with excellent staff and facilities. We had a Machiya room which was spacious and well appointed. The only complaint, from an old man with a bad back and bad knees, get in and out of the futon on the floor was a bit annoying. Would definitely still go back.

This was our second stay at this location, we loved it last year and really wanted to stay here again. The staff is very friendly, the facility is clean, there's a tea room with free tea and coffee next to the lobby. You can do laundry for free. The only thing was that there are only 2 washers and 2 dryers for the entire building, and there was always people waiting.

Peaceful Machiya away from the hustles and bustles

Location of the accommodation was ideal for my wife and I - peaceful and away from all the hustle and bustles of the shopping districts. The room was spacious and has amenities that are well maintained. However, one downside was that the walls of the room are so thin that you can even hear the hair dryer blowing next door. Service was fantastic with the duty concierge greeting you everytime you leave/arrive at the hotel. Perhaps one thing that they can improve on is getting a better antenna/signal for the tv as it doesn't work/have signal most of the time, resulting in us not able to use the tv for our stay. Overall, we had a pleasant stay with The Machiya Ebisuya!

We had an amazing experience staying here. 5 mins walk from the large market and very touristy area, and close to konbinis. The room was so cozy and clean, the staff was very professional. One thing we were troubled with was other travelers. One group had occupied the laundry room for the night and had not considered to share with other travelers. The hotel tried to accommodate by offering the people waiting to wait on line but could not do much. Wish those travelers have considered to follow the local rules and basic Japanese values on sharing and being polite.
