Die Kunst der Übernachtung!
Pros:

Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Man konnte a la carte ein Gericht wählen. Kinder übernachten im BnA Alter Museum gratis. Das Frühstück muss man für sie dann aber extra bezahlen (ist nicht teuer). Sonst ist das Frühstück inkludiert. Der Frühstücksraum selbst ist auch sehr nett und entspannt, untertags wird er als Cafe genutzt. Kann also auch von Nicht- Hotelgästen beim Museumsbesuch genutzt werden.
Die Hotelmitarbeiter sprechen auch alle sehr gut englisch, sind freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch das Baggage Service ist verfügbar, um Koffer direkt hin- oder weiterschicken zu können.
Auf jeden Fall sollte man auch Zeit einplanen, das Hotel/Museum selbst zu besuchen und die Ausstellung zu sehen!

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und als Kunstwerke schön anzuschauen. Wir waren im "Double Dreams". Es verliert etwas an Raumnutzung durch die Deckenkunst, da ein Teil der Zimmerfläche nicht betreten und genutzt werden kann.

Kyoto’s one of a kind art hotel

Perfect location lovely staff
Pros:

Lovely hotel and super staff, very helpful. The location was perfect for us. Walking distance from Gion and the tourist sites in that area, but also on the bus route for getting elsewhere in the city. The city centre shopping was an easy walk away and there were two train stations within walking distance (each about 15 mins away). We were able to easily get everywhere we wanted.
The hotel was great, cean, comfy, and it was a lovely room.
There is a bar at the hotel and a little cafe that doubles as the breakfast room. Lots of little bars and resturants near by.
We would definitely recommend a stay here

Cons:

It was all good and as expected.

Superhotell med kanonläge nära vacker kanal med körsbärsträd i full blom
Pros:

Fantastiskt läge nära Gion med små restauranger på små gator- nära till Nishiki market
Vackert inredda rum med kanonfin dusch
Fick låna rullstol till min man med ryggproblem
Jättetrevligt bemötande i reception och flickorna Yoyo och Cecilie i baren

Cons:

För låga bäddar för äldre med stela kroppar men managern ordnade vänligen ett rum med högre alternativ till oss

Improvable
Pros:

The coffee shop on-site makes a very good cappuccino and they offer a limited but good menu for breakfast. Staff are young and friendly. Bathrooms are spacious and well designed.

Cons:

The hotel is minimally staffed. For example, there is one front desk person, and room cleaning is only offered every few days. Some of the rooms that have been "artistically " modeled simply do not look very comfortable.

Lovely room. Amazing displays
Pros:

Very convenient location. Walking distance to Yasaka Shrine and Kamo river. Beautiful cherry blossom along small streets.

Cons:

A bit small for family of four. Bed is too heavy to be packed up and put down by one person.

Original, céntrico y cómodo.
Pros:

El personal muy amable y la ubicación perfecta. Las camas son súper cómodas y el baño muy bien equipado.

Cons:

Que no haya servicio de limpieza en estancias inferiores a 4 días, pero te dan todas las amenities que quieras. Había un sonido en la habitación que aunque es parte del “concepto museo” y se apagaba a las 8 de la tarde, a veces era un poco molesto.
