One of the best hotels during our travel trough Japan. We appreciated homelike atmosphere, very stylish design and quite a lot of space! The breakfast was cute 🙏 Dyson fan was a nice bonus 🤪

It would be nice to install an outlet in the shower room

Everything was excellent

Breakfast system is not very convenient in summer time (only from 8.30) where you have to wake up early and options may not be at European taste for breakfast. You’ve got a 7eleven next door or many nice options around.

Service is fantastic, Ryota was a wonderful host, rooms are amazing very nice modern Japanese, super well equipped. Location is fine but maybe a bit far from metro (nothing dramatic). Probably our best hotel in one month Japan trip. Highly recommend it. You’ll spend a wonderful time.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is perfect — close to everything we needed, yet quiet enough for a relaxing night. The rooms were very comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. A special thank you to Ryota, who was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout our stay. His warm hospitality really made us feel welcome and taken care of. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. Great value, great location, and great service — we’ll definitely come back!

Not much - but if asked for one area of improvement, maybe the breakfast? the drinks were amazing, but maybe adding some japanese options as well.

Breakfast has very limited options (only sandwiches) coffee and juice. It is delivered late ( earliest in 830 am ) to the room. This is not ideal if you go want to visit the temples / tourist areas early to avoid the crowds. There is no full length mirror in the room. The closet is an open space with hangers, and a small cabinet with drawers.

Big hotel room with very comfortable beds. We love the automatic Japanese toilet that opens when you enter the bathroom and the classical music. There is also a big bath tub ideal to for a hot bath after a long day of walking. The water pressure is good in the shower. There is also a kitchen counter, microwave oven, coffee pod machine ,mini ref. Bathroom amenities are very good . The hotel manager and staff speak very good English and are very attentive to our needs. They constantly communicate with us thru wats app. The hotel is about 10 minute walk to Kyoto - Kawaramachi train station, and is about 15-20 minutes to the Gion district.

Not much hanging space for clothes. Pretty dark room overall.

Fabulous staff, very helpful, kind and welcoming. Great location, 7/11 next door is superhandy, and a great coin laundry a short walk away. Easy walk to buses. Spacious and great to have a microwave and table in the room. Nice bathroom amenities. Great choice for a stay in Kyoto.

Nothing!

The staffs are amazing. They helped us get taxi and waited until we leave. All of them are very friendly and hospitable. The location is walkable from downtown strip. 7/11 is just next block. The room itself or should I say apartment was amazing. We highly recommend it. Best place we had so far. Very spacious and clean.

Nothing, this hotel was the nicest of my four stays traveling throughout Japan.

The rooms were even more spacious and beautiful in person. Completely spotless and so incredible clean. The aesthetic was calming and very traditional. Our favorite part was the in room Onsen. We love it so much that on my way back through Kyoto I had to stay there again and it was just as amazing the second time. Breakfast is delicious and brought directly to your room. Would recommend to anyone staying in Kyoto over and over again. The staff were friendly and helpful, I enjoyed chatting with Mickey and Hiro! It's in a quiet area but walkable to the main attractions and easy to hail a taxi or Uber. The in room skincare was so good I bought several boxes of the face masks when I left!

Hotel Muso was very clean and well-maintained, making me and my friend stay comfortable. The location was perfect, with everything I needed nearby. Above all, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Thanks to them, I had a pleasant and memorable experience. I would definitely love to come back again in the future.

If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay in Kyoto , look no further. Hotel Muso is one of the most comfortable, spacious, modern, clean and calming hotels I have stayed across the world. We loved the generously sized rooms and the complimentary breakfast roll delivered to your room each day. This hotel is situated away from the busy tourist area, but still close enough to all you need (shops, restaurants, the river and authentic local streets). The manager Ryo and all the staff go above and beyond to help you at anytime, and even suggested us to use the rooftop for drinks in the evening . Ryo gave us many local recommendations for eating out and sights to visit . This was an excellent stay and I would highly recommend. (4 nights stayed )

Everything was great, young man at the reception (sorry I don't know your name) was extra nice. Next time I come to Kyoto I'll stay in this hotel for sure!

Of all our stays in Japan, Hotel Muso stands out as a perfect home base. Every person we interacted with was kind, efficient and knowledgeable. The location was ideal- comfortable interesting walk to the metro, sites, good food and and in a quiet neighborhood. Our room was spacious, clean and beautiful. It was an excellent value and if we were to return to Kyoto, we would definitely stay here.

We liked our stay so much we wanted to extend. Had a restful sleep which is very important when traveling. The impeccable taste in design as well as Dyson appliances plus the thoughtful breakfast gives a nice touch to the modern yet cozy experience which made us feel at home. Thank you to the owner who conceptualised this hotel and contributed to our great experience in Kyoto, also Ryo the manager who was very welcoming and helpful especially his recommendations, Hiro who was nice and also the cleaners who did a very neat job and the breakfast delivery.
