EN HOTEL grew on me. I stayed four nights in late January 2024. I booked it mistakenly thinking that there was a public bath in the facility. At first I was very disappointed to find out that I was wrong. I hadn’t read the website carefully. At first, I thought about booking another hotel but I ended up staying and was glad I did because EN represents a great value. It’s conveniently located, and the staff seem eager to please. When I checked in to my room, I noticed the bathroom wasn’t as clean as I expected but they fixed it the next day. With the money I saved on lodging, I was able to treat myself to nicer meals in town, including the best unagi I’ve ever had. Next time, I’ll try the hotel breakfast, which I heard was delicious.

The hotel was a 4 to 6-minute walk from the Kintetsu Ise-shi station, and a 10 to 15-minute walk from the JR Ise-shi station. Some of the staff were English proficient, and those who weren't used Google translate to bridge any communication barrier with us. We found out on our last night that all our modes of transport out of Ise after check out would be cancelled due to a Typhoon (Typhoon no. 7 aka Lan, 2023), and the reception calmly assisted us in extending our stay in our rooms by one more night at booking.com rate. We felt safe indoors the next day, cooped up in our 8th floor room through our first-ever typhoon experience. The staff even offered to do lite room cleaning (change our towels and collect trash) on the day of the typhoon. There were teabags in the lounge that brewed delicious tea.

Comfortable bed and clean room with a nice view of the city and a good shower. We didn’t try the breakfast (1.200 ¥ per person).

The receptionist was not very communicative, we felt like we lacked a few infos (like there are free coffee and tea in the lobby). The hotel is only close to the station if you arrive by Kitetsu-Train. If you have to take the JR-Exit it’s a ten minutes walk (instead of two minutes). We didn’t try the breakfast (1.200 ¥ per person).

We booked an extra night last minute to stay indoors through Typhoon Lan 2023. The receptionist obliged without any question, asking us via Google translate to purchase another night via booking.com. Through a typhoon this was a nice and super study building to be in (as far as we knew). There was a supermarket nearby, a huge Welcia nearby and more.

Location was close to the train station, convenient stores and an Unagi restaurant.

The room was too warm, needed to open the window but had to watch out for insects flying in. No fan or ac in room.

Very clean, not totally new but not old. It's a standard Japanese business style hotel but a good one.

There are not so many budget options in Ise, so prices are higher. So it's good value for money for Ise but pricier than comparable hotel in larger city.

Nice view, check-in was fast, location very close to Ise-Shi Train Station. The hotel was clean. There was no noise in the room.

No complains.

Really nice hotel, great facilities, clean rooms and friendly staff. Breakfast is available for 1200yen and is really good as well. Free parking is in front. Could only recommend

I enjoyed their breakfast menu. Everything is fresh and there are local dishes. The hotel is conveniently located between two train stations, making it accessible to popular sites.

A decent location to stay close to the station. I had a room very high up with a bit of a view as well.
