Great location and easy walk to shops and Nishiki market. The room definitely was style above function as to we had to remove a couple of the art pieces to be able to access areas of the room ( these were of course replaced on vacating). Staff were definitely less friendly than other hotels we had stayed in but they were helpful when needed. The bathroom and showers facilities were excellent. Would I stay here again- I’m afraid not.

It was the worst experience when I stayed in Japan. The room is very small, and there is no furniture, no phone. The service was terrible and significantly reduced in the name of environment protection. This hotel is marked as 4 stars in Expedia, but it is only two stars actually. I don't recommend this hotel to anyone.

Live within the art work

This is an art hotel. Each individual room has been used as a canvas to creat art. The first room had a round bed. The second had two beds placed at 90 degree with a huge piece of art on the ceiling. Great concept if you want something different in a room. Friendly staff and very clean. Worth a short stay

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.

The king is naked - stay away

The hotel is very expensive and supposed to concept based. The reality is that we got uncomfortable room, impossible bed, tge "concept" means that you have no normal sofa or chairs invthe room, no placevfor luggage. Even the "concept" breakfast meabs you have to set the exact hour you want your breakfast and exactly whatyou will wantvto eat tomorrow. You get only one drink and a sort of sandwich. It is not what expected from a very expensive hotel. We felt someone is laughing at us, which is jot pleasant at all. The king is naked and I recommend you to stay away from that "concept" hotel.
