We LOVED our stay at BnA Alter Museum and would happily stay again. I originally booked our stay here because my niece, who’s creative and works in style and artistic production, was traveling with us and I knew would appreciate the unique art rooms, created each by a different artist. We first were in a quirky, whimsical room with Murphy-style pull down beds. It was such fun. We extended our stay an extra day and were moved to a beautiful, calming room by a sculptural artist with gentle warm lighting, minimalist wooden pieces and 5 yen coins flowing along portions of the walls, floor and ceiling, with opportunity to add your own. This hotel provides a unique and modern experience while still offering distictive Japanese features (robes and low beds, dense mattresses, bathrooms you want to transport home with you, etc). The hotel was comfortable and quiet, the location was fantastic… a very close walk to beautiful, narrow traditional lanes along the river and Gion with its picturesque Kyoto charm, vibrant, modern shopping thoroughfares and massive covered market “maze” offering a mix of old world and new, food lanes, thrift shops, every kind of thing you can imagine, and frequented by locals and visitors alike (a place to spend a day and get happily lost, especially if the weather is challenging). Just beyond all these things, across the river and easily reached by foot are the famous temples and gardens of Kyoto. Hospitality is huge in Japan, but I can’t say enough about the staff at BnA Alter Museum… warm and approachable while still offering impeccable hospitality. In particular, my elderly mother joined us our third night there. The only room available (the beautiful 5-yen coin room) had very low beds. The staff made sure to put a good, stable chair in the room for her as requested specifically to aid her getting in and out of bed and offered to do more.

this is one of the best and most interesting places i've stayed at :) upon arrival, the staff was extremely welcoming and did a fantastic job at explaining the room's concept to us. we were offered early check-in, and since we booked a different room for each night, they even offered to transport our packed luggage from room-to-room while we were out travelling. the customer service is excellent and they also provided us with lovely recommendations for local restaurants and delights. location wise, it is very close to a bus stop that takes you to the main tourist area and also kiyumizudera. but i found that kyoto buses did not run on a very strict schedule. it is a survivable walking distance away from a train station :) the rooms themselves were simply fantastic, and i had such a great time soaking up the deliberate, and sometimes interactive, designs and concepts. every aspect of the room was carefully thought-out, and i have no complaints over the cleanliness. it was such a wonderful experience and it left me wanting to return to check out some of the other rooms. this specific room was incredibly large and had an INCREDIBLE view. i still dream about this place.

We stayed at this hotel for four nights and enjoyed its unique atmosphere. It is a special hotel that incorporates art into the rooms, adding a creative and interesting touch to the stay. The staff was very courteous, always available, and made every effort to assist with any request. However, the main drawback is the lack of functionality – while the rooms, including the suite, are pleasant and well-maintained, they lack basic facilities for a comfortable stay, which slightly reduces the overall experience. This hotel is recommended for those who appreciate design and art, but less so for those seeking functional comfort.

This hotel is very unique! We stayed in two different rooms & enjoyed our stay. The second room was the “dragon” and we absolutely loved the theme. The room had 12 different light settings and really made the room come alive. By far, one of the coolest places we’ve ever stayed. The room & bathroom were both large & very spacious. Beds were very comfortable. We appreciated the mini fridge in the room. Staff was attentive & friendly, they provided umbrellas for us, and even held our bags after check out. Would definitely recommend this place

This hotel is very unique! We stayed in two different rooms & enjoyed our stay. The first room was the “shrimp basket” and while it was very creative & we loved the theme, there wasn’t much room to hang out & relax. The bed wasn’t very feasible to sleep in because of the net, but we made it work. The bathroom was very roomy & the shower pressure was great! We appreciated the mini fridge in the room. Staff was very friendly, they provided umbrellas for us, and even held our bags after check out. Would definitely recommend this place!
