    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.

    amazing property with a terrific value. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Would recommend 10/10

    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.

    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!

    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 )

    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.

    Great location with fantastic staff who went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The room was very large and comfortable with a lot of amenities and a large bed which was appreciated since we’re tall Americans. The location was also great on a quiet street away from crowds but close walking distance to everything.
