Awesome location, 6 minute walk from the main shopping district. We made a last minute decision to stay in Kyoto for the night. They had all the amenities that we needed to make the stay comfortable for our whole family (2 adults, 2 kids 9 yo and 12 yo).
Very interesting hotel. Staff were very nice and helpful.

The heater worked very well and the shower water was very warm and had good pressure.
The art in the room was very cool. We enjoyed the decor very much.
It seemed like most of the staff understood English
This was one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed in. Each room is unique and is put together with so much thought. The hotel itself is spotless and offers plenty of amenities. There's even a cafe on the top floor with great quality coffee. The staff was helpful with every request we had, and helped facilitate our luggage forwarding. The location can't be beat. I would recommend to anyone staying in Kyoto!
This museum hotel was beautiful and central for a reasonable price. The staff was kind and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The art in the room was beautiful, as was the view from our window.
All required amenities were provided, they also had a water filter that you can use anytime. Staff were also very friendly. She also checked if the room was ready earlier for check-in. The art work was beautiful: overall an excellent experience.
Such a unique experience to be able to stay "in" an artwork! We were in the Mon Koutaro Ooyama room (#601) and it was terrific! The colours, artwork and integrated lighting programme all combined perfectly to create a really immersive experience as part of the art. We enjoyed staring at the intricacies of the paintwork and exploring the detail throughout our stay. In addition to this - the beds were super comfortable, bathroom well equipped, staff very hospitable, breakfast tasty, and the location is excellent - easy to access via a short bus ride from Kyoto station and simple to then get to the main attractions (Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kinkakuji temple etc). Staff have great recommendations for local places to eat and explore too. Would highly recommend staying here!
The room was spotless. the location was outstanding--I'd had some concerns not staying at a "Kyoto Station" hotel, but not only was transit very convenient here, you're steps away from the Pontocho Alley and about a 10" walk to the Gion district. I will say the wi-fi was not the most reliable and you are not able to get fresh air in the room at night (staff say there are safety concerns with opening the windows at night). The cafe and breakfast were also excellent with super friendly staff and breakfast at the right portions.
Amazing stay! Staff was incredibly helpful & went out of their way to assist us. Beautiful room! Ended our evening at the hotel bar and started our day in the hotel cafe. Accessible to lots of shopping and dining. Lovely stay!
