This hotel provides a wonderful experience for those visiting Kyoto, Japan. The rooms are fairly minimalist, but much more spacious than most Japanese hotels, which have rooms that are often very cramped. The rooms here were not. The bedroom space and bathroom, especially the shower and tub areas, were very large for Japan standards. The staff were very gracious and helpful. The breakfast was exceptionally good. However, if you are one of those Westerners who is stuck with eating the standard American or European breakfasts and do not want to go outside the norm and experience Asian foods, you may be disappointed. For us, this was a highlight of the hotel. The food was excellent and the presentation very nice. The hotel is deserving of an its five star rating.

Likes - nice property with great/helpful staff; calm and tranquil atmosphere. Dislikes - while not a dislike per se, we did not realize that the hotel is windowless (although the room design was as such that there was a window like effect).

We loved the room, super big and comfy, amenities were amazing. We had mixed feelings with the staff some were friendly and others not at all. We didn’t like the breakfast, the idea is beautiful but needs better execution, the food was cold and very limited.

Aesthetically pleasing. Excellent staff. Lovely, spacious, rooms. Subway nearby and easy to locate taxis on nearby spacious avenue. Proximity to excellent vegan/French bakery. Easy access to convenience stores/ATM. Comforters are, perhaps, too effective given absence of arctic temperatures.

This might be the most beautiful and perfect place I’ve ever stayed, anywhere. It is incredible. The design is impeccable and represented the Japanese culture perfectly. The staff was incredible. I wanted to stay forever. Everywhere else I stayed in Japan was also very nice, but but none of them were even in the same league. Bravo Mogana.

Ching-Yuan

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
the room's curtain does not block much light that comes into the room from the window, resulting in the room being mostly lit when you sleep. this apparently happens with every room in the hotel, as i checked with the front desk. also the bed is extremely hard, and this also happens with every room in the hotel. with the room being ~$300/night during winter time, this is not worth the money at all. the design is kind of nice, but you can get that in other hotels that cost half as much. also, they don't have a restaurant area, so you're forced to eat inside your room. which was a bit awkward. stay somewhere else!

Lindo porém não vale a pena.

Hotel muito bonito, quarto espaçoso e com um banheiro incrível, mas o hotel fica com 1 staff disponível para o hotel inteiro, o que para um hotel 5 estrelas não faz sentido nenhum. Apesar do hotel lindo, no final nao tem nada além do quarto. O bar é minúsculo e não tem ninguém, o jantar é só no quarto. Café da manhã você tem que pedir com 2 dias de antecedência.
