What a strange, eery place. Creepy Japanese horror film vibes. From the metal front doors to the intense incense, this place feels like you could get exorcised at any moment. Good location, good breakfast & comfy beds tho

What a beautiful hotel and unforgettable experience. Our room was incredibly serene and peaceful, creating the perfect retreat after exploring Kyoto. The staff graciously accommodated our request for a vegan breakfast and completely exceeded our expectations. Every detail was thoughtfully considered. The team at MOGANA made our very first trip to Kyoto truly special. Thank you all for your exceptional hospitality and for creating such wonderful memories.

We had a balcony but it would have been nice to sit out but no chairs also no wedge to keep the door open. The privacy curtain was slightly stained and needed cleaning. It took us five days before we noticed there was no tv! All the staff were great and so helpful with booking restaurants and taxis. We enjoyed the reasonably priced western breakfast.

A gem of a Boutique Hotel in Kyoto.

Mogana is a peaceful haven. Highly recommend this hotel. Walking distance to cute shops and cafes, as well as a good shopping district. Amazing amenities. Service was impeccable. Hotel's signature drink is to die for (my friend wouldn't shut up about it!). Would stay again for sure.
