Cool place

The staff were very helpful And the art was cool.

Some of the art was impractical e.g. a clock that made noises every : hours even into the night, we had to turn it off. Lights that hung down low that we hit our heads on them.

great place for just two nights in Kyoto as a family of 4. very close to everything.

The location was perfect!!! The art was amazing and the lighting, which was part of the room, was a nice touch.

needed more seating options, no place to hang anything except one curtain rod, minimal sink space in bathroom.

New, clean well presented facility. would book again as every room is themed by different artists

Funky venue, friendly staff, great bar and good tunes by the in-house DJ.

the Room was themed by the artist. More attention needed for bag storage. felt like everywhere we turned we were going to hit the art installation/damage it.

非日常で良かった

アーティスティックな空間も楽しめたし、とても綺麗でよかった。お部屋は思っている色？とは違ったがそう気にならなかった。場所も観光地も近く良かった。

姿見がないことと、ライティングの関係であまり明るくならないのが朝の支度の時に辛かった。 TVはなくてもいいが貸し出しのタブレットに音楽が聴けるアプリかスマホに接続できるスピーカーがほしい。

Pleasant and quirky but not ideal if you are staying longer than 2 nights.

The breakfast was pleasant but having to book a specific time to eat instead of having a window to eat in was rather odd as was having to choose your preferred breakfast for each morning on arrival. When entering breakfast we never saw than 3 tables at a time. You could only have one drink with your meal and when I asked for a orange juice with my coffee I was told I could not. I responded that I could as I would happily pay for it. We never got a barista coffee made as they could not accomodate that during the "busy" breakfast routine.

The fact that there is no wardrobe space, we had 2 hangers each at the entrance attached to the coat hooks. Our suitacases had to stay packed and on the floor.

Fabulous stay!

All of the staff members we met over the period of our one night stay, were welcoming, attentive and extremely helpful. It was clear from the outset that the staffing team really wanted to ensure that the customer experience was a good one. Our room was amazing and the art work on display, was everything and more. Our stay in this fabulous hotel made a very positive contribution to our visit to Kyoto and I was extremely pleased to see a hotel like this on offer. I look forward to staying at the hotel again and have highly recommended it to friends.

I wouldn't have changed anything.

ein inspirierender und zugleich gemütlicher Ort

Das Hotel liegt sehr günstig in der Nähe des Gion-Viertels und zum Nishiki-Markt, so dass man sowohl tagsüber als auch abends entspannt unterwegs sein kann; sowohl Sehenswürdigkeiten als auch kleine typisch japanische Restaurants sind fußläufig erreichbar. Der Service war großartig und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Ich würde das Hotel jederzeit wieder buchen. Es ist eine ungewöhnliche Idee für ein Hotel, aber absolut überzeugend.

Die Auswahl beim Frühstück hätte durchaus größer sein dürfen.

Stylish and unique hotel in Kyoto

This is such a beautiful, unique hotel and very worth staying at when you're in Kyoto. Our room was a chic minimalist space with one of the most comfortable beds we slept in during our 2 weeks in Japan. The view over the river while lying in bed was absolutely magical. The bathroom is also very generous and stylishly designed -- a huge bathtub that was perfect for relaxing after a day walking around Kyoto in winter. Staff were kind and helpful, and the cafe upstairs was a little expensive but made great food and coffee. The chance to stay in a room with a one-of-a-kind artwork was amazing and I'd absolutely stay here again if I came back to Kyoto -- I wish I'd been able to stay in more than one room and see what all the different artworks are like!

Our room had a small table built into the end of the bed, but other than that there was no furniture. There's a storage space on our floor where we could borrow furniture if we wanted it (for example we borrowed a couple of chairs and some coathangers). It's great that this is on offer and that it doesn't cost anything to borrow things, but it might have been nice to have some permanent minimal furniture that was designed with the room's aesthetic in mind.

Great location close enough to walking to hustle and bustle but enough away to feel not swamped in it

Great sized bedrooms for packing and unpacking suitcases, clean modern rooms with special touches like mood lighting and curated play lists for each room

Not enough bench space, always using the floor.

It was an interesting experience for an older person (me)!

The location is ideal and within walking distance to the old quarter and all the shops and main sights. The reception staff all speak excellent English which is a bonus as I found English is generally very basic in Japan. When I ordered a taxi, a staff member would come out to the street and give the taxi driver directions and see me off safely. I liked the sliding panels in front of my two floor to ceiling windows, very neat, and also the interesting hanging rock art installation which I could view through an internal window. The room was decorated with avant garde style artwork which I found amusing (I was advised not to touch any of it). It was the most novel room I had ever stayed in. The bathroom was very nice.

Perhaps I should have done more research but I didn't realise that the rooms are very small with a wall bed, actually two in my room but I left one up on the central wall so I had some walking space. I have bad knees so getting down and up from a floor bed was not easy! There was a tiny bureau with an art piece on top and it unfolded into a drop down table with two child size chairs, very space-saving! It was not a room to spend any time relaxing in. I saw a lot of young people there so it probably suits a younger clientele.

Schönes Hotel mit guter Lage und künstlerischem Charme

Stylisches und kreatives Zimmer mit grosszügigen Raum. Gute Empfehlungen vom Personal und eine tolle Café Bar mit guten Bohnen und Süssem

Die Bar am Abend ist leider wenig besucht und deshalb nicht zum Verweilen - schade eigentlich

Unique hotel stay in great location, but not entirely practical and/or practical.

Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Couldn’t fault the customer service. The concept is cool and definitely different to your standard hotel routine. The location was perfect! So close to heart of city without being right in the middle of it. Bathroom and shower were great.

It wasn’t practical. We stayed for 5 nights and it’s definitely a place to stay in for one or two nights. It was small things like no towel hooks in the bathroom or room, no bedside tables or stand, and no charging port or PowerPoint on one side of the bed. Also our room was very dark (which was the design) but opening curtains to let light in and we faced a brick wall. Breakfast was lovely and the coffee was great, as was the friendly barista, but the options were very limited and having to book breakfast at a certain time in advance makes it hard to plan your day, especially when wanting an early start. Also, the barista could use some help of a morning with an extra staff member to help speed things up.

Would definitely come back to stay again!

From the moment we stepped into the hotel it felt like a gallery that you you pay to walk through. We were greeted by the wonderful staff who were friendly and recommended plenty of restaurants. The room itself was stunning and spacious. There was ample toiletries on offer in the foyer and bottled water in the room.

Wow don't miss out on this unique and creative museum hotel

Wooooow, I wish I would havw found this Museum Hotel earlier but I was lucky to stat at least one night. This place is so creative, it made my designer heart beat very hard. Every room is an exhibition and was created by a different artist. You get an audio guide online to hear the story about the art work. The room is spacious and the shower/bathtub as well. The art work was so beautiful and every minute I discovered something new. Also a very cool for special occasions or if you want to treat yourself :-) The staff was friendly and helpful. I dropped off my lagguage in the morning, did a pre-checkin and when I came back everything was in my room. Wow, thank you! Loved it so much, highly recommended!

Nothing this place is absolutely brilliant!

1003. What a room! A memory I will cherish forever.

1003 is an amazing room. It’s a room you must stay in for a night.

You have to pre book a breakfast placed the night before by 18:00. We missed out as was unaware of this which was the only thing that tainted the trip.

Artfully beautiful but ranked low in providing a welcoming place for hotel guests.

The hotel staff were super friendly and efficient. Since it is an Art-theme hotel, obviously the art pieces being displayed is the attraction, and the different room has different artist work demonstrated a well-curated hotel. Kudos to the art director(s) and the artists.

I felt the hotel took itself too seriously and numerous warnings were given during check-in (Don't damage the art pieces in the room, don't wear shoes, be careful with this, and that etc). As a hotel guest, I want to be comfortable and all these restrictions made the hotel 'pretentious' and unwelcoming.
