Undoubtedly cool, the gorgeousness of my room did not translate into comfort. The bed and pillows were comfy enough but the “desk” was hard to use and I ended up needing a folding chair and table (that they offer) to make the room more usable. I stayed for 5 nights and my room was only cleaned once. I was told this would happen when I checked in and I could’ve asked for the room to be cleaned at other times. The breakfast was great, they have a system where you have to remember to pre-order and book a time slot for the following morning the day before. Reduces food waste!

Very cool hotel, lovely people. Fun experience, little tight on space in the room with two people and luggage, however it's an Art Room, so that's exactly what it is and does that well.

We stayed there 6 nights and loved there. The room 303 was spacious - especially in Japan. Original decoration - truly living in art, great modern bathroom, and very accommodating and plesant staff. Close to everything with bus stop&7eleven just outside. Laundry less than 5 min walk. Great coffee area and coffee itself - breakfast options are quite limited, but again, the staff was very accommodating in terms of food requirements. We stayed in 3 hotels in Japan so far, and this was our favourite. They also have bar and little art gallery on the ground floor.

The bed was horribly uncomfortable. It was like sleeping on a futon. There was no chair in the room. Sitting on the bed edge was uncomfortable because the platform was hard with sharp corners. There were no washcloths. Only hand towels and bath towels. The platform for taking shoes off was too small. Just very poorly designed. It was more about showing off the artist’s painting vs making guests comfortable.

Very cool hotel with individual rooms and kind and friendly staff. We didn't really use the cafe or bar, so I can't rate those, but the location was perfect. One small suggestions for improvement: we had the Mina Katsuki room, which is a very modern but also mostly empty room (with a very comfy bed and a dreamy view of the Kyoto skyline and river). And I get that the bright "cool" white lights in this room are part of the art installation and there is also the option to switch some lights off. But for the evening, some warmer reading lights would have been beneficial and also more cozy.

Such a cool experience living in art and staying at BnA Alter Museum. We stayed in two different rooms to double our experience. Great location, clean and good breakfast, with very friendly hotel staff. Rooms are spacious, but definitely about form over function. While I celebrate that this is about art, this is still a hotel room. There needs to be a hook for bath towels and a place to set bathroom items, and at a minimum, a chair or bench to sit on in the room.

Staff was really friendly and polite. The room was an art piece. The only improvements are: - guests should not ask for the room to be cleaned as it is a high end hotel so it should come as a default service. - toothbrush, toothpaste, body wash and shampoo are not available inside the room but at front desk. I don’t understand why?!?! - we were 3 people (2 adults and 1 kid) but they always left only 2 towel for shower. A bit annoying. Coffee at the cafe was good! For the price, it could be better but I can’t complain either.

Unique place to stay. Excellent staff and the rooms were very clean. Our room was spacious enough for a family of four with luggage. We had a large tapestry hanging from the ceiling in our room as our art piece. Very cool and the family enjoyed it too. The bathroom was very clean and spacious too! We were about a 10 minute walk away from the Gion district and Nishiki Market so that was a plus.
