Pure style over substance. Staff on check-in made us feel as if they were doing *us* a favour for staying there. Our room was interestingly designed but not comfortable. The sharp concrete edge of the headboard worried me about potential accidents. The room’s light switches were all over the place. A warning from the staff made us scared to touch anything in the room. The bathroom was good though. Location great.

Our stay at BnA was everything we were looking for and more! Aside from the unique art rooms and concepts, BnA is simply great as a hotel. Location was exactly where we wanted to be. Walking distance from Nishiki Market, shopping, across the river from Gion. We traveled with our toddler, so we did not make it to as many temples as we have in our previous trip, but location would have been perfect for it. Speaking of toddlers, because the rooms are art based, they may not be the most child friendly, but they have a crib, which is more than what we were and to find while searching for a place to stay, and it was still great for our family. The staff is exceptional and available to help us with many of our questions during our stay and assisting with our transportation inquiries. Would be happy to stay here again on our next trip and experience a new room!

Beautiful and unique art room
I didn’t realize we got the art room called 1993 which is a theme of sex hotel in Japan. Since we already had interested in checking out a sex hotel, I was over the moon happy about it. We were greeted by friendly English speaking staffs upon arrival and were given a lot of helpful info throughout the stay. They even helped us to get a reservation for a local breakfast restaurant. You’d also get to check out the art exhibit for free from 11am - 8pm as a guest. The room is very spacious comparing with normal hotels in Japan and the bathroom was very modern. It not only has a fancy bidet, but a full bathtub which we used every night to unwind from all the walking. Nonetheless to say, our stay was very unique and pleasant.

Everything was great here. One thing I would point out that I'm not sure that either Expedia or the BnA website do a fantastic job of explaining (maybe just not in English) but while the hotel is an art hotel and the rooms are each art pieces, the rooms are also absurdly well appointed hotel rooms too. Like, it had everything I'd expect from a 4 star hotel, and it was an art piece you could explore. I didn't book multiple nights here (even though I had originally planned to do so) because I thought it may be lacking in some of the basic comforts I'd expect from a hotel on a long trip to a country I've never been before, but it had all of that and then some. TV? Check, even an active Netflix subscription. WiFi? Phenomenal speeds and stability. One of the best showers/non Jacuzzi style tubs I've ever use? You better believe it. And then on top of all of those things the view from the room I stayed in (EYE) was possibly one of the best I've ever had in a hotel. As I checked in the sun was setting over Kyoto, casting beautiful orange glows across the Gion neighborhood. A perfect view of the river out of the window next to the sofa. The hallway had floor to ceiling windows overlooking Kyoto including a view of the top of Kyoto tower. I won't spoil the art portion, I think that's worth experiencing for yourself, but even without the full blown gallery and art installation in the room itself this hotel was absolutely worth it.
