The hotel has such a hip vibe and is in convenient location near Nishiki market. The hotel staff were very kind. The room was interesting but not that practical as the limited floor space was wasted and the beds in the double room 602 are actually on the floor. The bathroom was amazing, but we did have a toilet issue which they kindly issued a new room and breakfast voucher until it was solved.

Overall, the stay was good. The room could use a fresh coat of paint, and the toilet wasn’t completely clean, there were some spots on the wall. Aside from that, the location is fantastic, the staff are excellent, and the complimentary daily cocktail is a great touch.

New concept in old city - great stay

What fun concept of staying in a museum. We loved the design of our room. Because of its minimal nature it was little less comfortable, but the atmosphere was amazing. The greater hotel was fun, a good location and great stay in Kyoto

Unique property well-located for visiting main areas of Kyoto. Our room was spacious, though the toilet was very close to the wall in front. Limited breakfast options, but all very tasty. Great cocktails and vibe in the bar.

Live within the art work

This is an art hotel. Each individual room has been used as a canvas to creat art. The first room had a round bed. The second had two beds placed at 90 degree with a huge piece of art on the ceiling. Great concept if you want something different in a room. Friendly staff and very clean. Worth a short stay
