Art hotel
A special and artistic boutique hotel. Small but delicious and good breakfast. Courteous and helpful staff. Japanese-style accommodation in most rooms. It was not clear from the photos on the website that most of the beds are low. Sometimes the art in the rooms causes discomfort for guests and some of the room furnishings are in compartments in the hallway, so the rooms are not very comfortable to use.

We loved our stay and BNA Alter Museum. We are big fans of Meow Wolf and art in general every room is BNA Alter is an art installation. We would love to come back and stay at a different room for a new immersion art experience.

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!

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.

Great hotel but room was a little in practical especially with 3 suitcases and know where to put them Great artwork rooms but definantly need more storage options great hotel for. 1 or 2 night stay but any longer I think it would be difficult especially they don’t have laundry facilities and our room only got made up once and were their for 4 days breakfast was ok but definantly prefer a buffet as everything in unlimited and only one coffee or juice was an option but was a great hotel overall just afew minor things compared to the other hotels we have stay at in japan

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.
