We stayed at Mogana for 3 days and 3 nights. I was speechless when I saw our room. It was super clean and the breakfast in the room was so delicious. I loved the way associates called us first to tell us when our breakfast was about to be delivered. Sano is so friendly. He answered all of our questions and gave us what we needed. I would totally recommend Mogana to my friends and family. If I have the opportunity to visit Kyoto, Japan again, I will definitely stay at Mogana.

A gem of a Boutique Hotel in Kyoto.

Mogana is a peaceful haven. Highly recommend this hotel. Walking distance to cute shops and cafes, as well as a good shopping district. Amazing amenities. Service was impeccable. Hotel's signature drink is to die for (my friend wouldn't shut up about it!). Would stay again for sure.

Rooms do look like the picture, BUT the views are NOT as advertised. You're likely looking at AC units or another unattractive view as my friends also had a similar view on the other side of the hotel. Lighting is not great in the bathroom. Coffee wasn't great as they had a drip system. Looked cute, but not awesome if you need coffee. It also wasn't as conveniently located as we thought. Not a bad hotel by any means, but not a 5 star.

This hotel provides a wonderful experience for those visiting Kyoto, Japan. The rooms are fairly minimalist, but much more spacious than most Japanese hotels, which have rooms that are often very cramped. The rooms here were not. The bedroom space and bathroom, especially the shower and tub areas, were very large for Japan standards. The staff were very gracious and helpful. The breakfast was exceptionally good. However, if you are one of those Westerners who is stuck with eating the standard American or European breakfasts and do not want to go outside the norm and experience Asian foods, you may be disappointed. For us, this was a highlight of the hotel. The food was excellent and the presentation very nice. The hotel is deserving of an its five star rating.

Likes - nice property with great/helpful staff; calm and tranquil atmosphere. Dislikes - while not a dislike per se, we did not realize that the hotel is windowless (although the room design was as such that there was a window like effect).

the room's curtain does not block much light that comes into the room from the window, resulting in the room being mostly lit when you sleep. this apparently happens with every room in the hotel, as i checked with the front desk. also the bed is extremely hard, and this also happens with every room in the hotel. with the room being ~$300/night during winter time, this is not worth the money at all. the design is kind of nice, but you can get that in other hotels that cost half as much. also, they don't have a restaurant area, so you're forced to eat inside your room. which was a bit awkward. stay somewhere else!
