Aanrader in Kyoto

Het hotel ademt een heerlijke sfeer door de kunst. Kamer zijn goed en fijne ruime badkamer.

Unique hotel

10.0

The whole immersive art vibe of the hotel. Rooms were large including great bathroom space. Rooms were clean and well equipped. Our room had river view. Got an explanation about the artist whose art was in your room and a souvenir postcard of that art, plus free signature cocktail when checking in.

Breakfast choices were all quite rich and heavy.

Personnel hyper accueuillant et chambre tout à fait singulière!

9.0

Personnel accueuillant, chambre singulière et hors des sentiers battus.

Il n’y avait pas de télévision. Pas important pour nous, mais bon à savoir!

Loved it over all.

10.0

It was an artful experience. The breakfast was superb, cafe staff was so kind and quick.

The room was a little awkward at times.

Great location in a 'different' (in a good way!) room

8.0

The room was quirky/attractive and was designed to use space brilliantly. Floor to ceiling windows for great views. Spacious bathroom/shower. Communal space shows brilliant photography/artwork. The location was excellent for us, easy/quick to walk into the centre or to subway/bus to station but just out of busyness. 7-11 over the road.

Daily house keeping is on request (and for us, unnecessary, plus I imagine a challenge in a compact room with belongings in available space), but it does mean having to go to reception to ask for more tea/coffee, toilet roll etc as only 1 day/roll is provided - maybe more supplies in the room upfront for stays over multiple days? The above is clearly not a big deal but not serving breakfast til 8 we found limiting, missing it (we paid B&B) on 2:3 days due to plans that needed us to be up and out. (The 7-11 over the road is therefore useful). On the remaining day we went out at 7 to try and beat the crowds and returned to have breakfast later in the morning but it then becomes just another thing to manage.
