This boutique hotel had exceptional service, the team was lovely and the complimentary mini-bar and snacks was definitely a nice touch. The room was spacious and comfortable for a family of 4. The little piece of Nintendo history also made the stay even more special. It was also nice to be in a quiet neighborhood but still be close to the city and busy areas. The library and open bar/self-service bar was also great. It was like coming home every night and everyone felt at ease and comfortable.

Spacious rooms with full amenities and bathroom equipped for both Japanese and Western preferences. The lounge was a lovely spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing in the Summer heat, with complimentary wines, beers and snacks - our family especially loved the Chazuke supper!

Quite possibly the best overall hotel experience we have enjoyed! We have travelled around the world, but the overall experience of Marufukuro was unmatched.
The facility was comfortable, relaxed, with a wonderful funky esthetic. The staff were awesome. Helpful, but not overwhelming. Polite.
The lounge was a great place to relax and end each busy day. The room was also comfortable and included any possible amenity. Thank you to the staff and owners. You have outdone yourselves.

The best hotel stay we’ve had!
Absolutely amazing - the best hotel I’ve stayed in and made for a memorable Kyoto visit. The service was incredible and there was something extra special about staying in a part of Nintendo history.
We’ll return again as soon as we can.
