The design of the room I stayed in felt like a mini apartment, which was refreshing compared to typical hotel rooms. I particularly enjoyed the view of the Gion neighborhood at sunset, as the orange glow really set a special atmosphere. The location was perfect for exploring nearby attractions like Yasaka Shrine and Nishiki Market, all just a short walk away.

Unique art installations make for a memorable ambiance.

The lack of practical amenities was frustrating. Our room was small and lacked towel hooks, making it inconvenient. The breakfast options were limited, and having to schedule breakfast in advance was a hassle.

This place is a culinary treasure! We devoured some incredible grilled dishes at the local izakaya Julia's, and breakfast included some delightful bites. The EYE room was jaw-dropping – after a fab shower, we kicked back and enjoyed a stunning sunset view over Gion that blew us away.

Here’s the kicker – an electronic party raged on during our stay and was so loud, it shook the walls! Our complaints to the staff weren’t taken seriously, leaving us feeling quite unimpressed with the service. Still, the unique vibe of the hotel kept things interesting.

Staying at BnA Alter Museum offered a unique and artistic experience. The design in the room was captivating, and the spaciousness pleasantly surprised me. I enjoyed the stunning view of the Gion neighborhood as the sunset cast beautiful colors across the room. The art installations really brought the place to life, making it more than just a hotel. However, the bed was quite hard and uncomfortable, lacking sufficient pillows. There wasn't enough furniture to keep my belongings organized, which made it tough to settle in. I was also disappointed by the breakfast setup—having to schedule my meal in advance felt inconvenient and restrictive. Despite these issues, the hotel's artistic vibe and cleanliness made it memorable.

Room was super spacious and clean, but wi-fi was unreliable and slow here.

The unique art installations were stunning, but the room lacked space for our bags.

Such a charming place with artistic, modern rooms featuring cool lighting possibilities! Everything was clean, and the staff was genuinely friendly, making our stay delightful. Absolutely loved the vibrant atmosphere (perfect for art lovers! ).

Nothing.

Artistic Charm in Kyoto, A Unique Stay!

This unique accommodation is perfect for art lovers. The Standard Twin Room offered a beautiful sunset view, elevating our stay. Dinner at the local izakaya Julia's was a culinary delight. For those staying, pack light and be ready for an inspiring experience!

Amazing views from the room and the staff were beyond friendly and helpful during our stay. The bar area had a chill vibe that made it easy to relax after a day of exploring Kyoto.

The pillows were a bit worn out. a refresh would make a big difference.

Totally recommend for a lightning stop

Unique experience, comfortable stay, with a memorable breakfast offering local dishes that should not be missed even if scheduling is required, just a short 10-minute walk to the nearest station making it convenient for exploration.

Didn’t dislike anything about the property.

Target audience artistic souls

We were fortunate to experience the artsy rooms, especially the one with the stunning ceiling lights! The interaction with the staff was refreshing, they were eager to provide us a bigger room for comfort, something you don’t see everywhere.

It wasn’t the most inexpensive choice I’ve made but still reasonable for such a unique experience.

I stayed in the Standard Queen Room (302, 402) for 2 nights. The art in the room was super beautiful and made it feel spacious, really true to the pictures. The bathroom was surprisingly large, which is not common in Japan. Breakfast was a bit odd since we had to pick a time in advance. it felt limiting. Also, we were only allowed one drink with breakfast and couldn't get an extra juice even if we were willing to pay. Still, the vibe of the hotel was unique and artsy, which I loved!
