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

Art hotel

A special and artistic boutique hotel. Small but delicious and good breakfast. Courteous and helpful staff. Japanese-style accommodation in most rooms. It was not clear from the photos on the website that most of the beds are low. Sometimes the art in the rooms causes discomfort for guests and some of the room furnishings are in compartments in the hallway, so the rooms are not very comfortable to use.
