One of the best stays we had in Japan! The hotel is very beautiful and our room was so spacious. The staff are so helpful and friendly. The housekeeping kept giving fresh towels daily and the front desk helped us transfer our luggage to the airport with amazing service. Hotel is also close to stations and stores. Will stay again in the future and recommend to everyone!!

I love this hotel. It’s modern but still Japanese. I didn’t realise when I booked a stair room that it would have a Japanese shoes off level around the bed - perfect mix of modern convenience and Japanese heritage. I also liked that it had real art. Felt like a place that a young Japanese person with taste would stay. One of the best small hotels I have stayed at, hope to be back.

It’s one of the best hotels we have stayed at in the entirety of Japan! The large space was a lovely change after being stuck in small accommodations and overall we fell in love with the decor as well. Staff were always so polite and helpful. It’s also right down the street from the market and other major shopping areas.

From was clean and large. The blinds don’t shut properly and makes the room bright even on a night. We had a battle with the AC and had to ask the front desk 3 times in 1 day to turn it to ‘cool’ and not set to heat.

The location is very good,walking distance to many attractions and train station near by.
Staff was friendly, but service is average.The interior is interesting but no laundry facilities, tv,wardrobe. We couldn't have an Air-conditioning on because the air blow straight to the bed in your face.

Staff was amazing and more than accommodating. Style and vibes were so different than a normal hotel in such a great way (brutalist architecture paired with amazing design/art). Hotel is at the very beginning of the walkable Main Street of shops which leads to Gion district. Also super close to Nishiki market. Cannot recommend more!

This is probably one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. It was a very special stay for me, and my first time in Kyoto. Everything about the hotel has been designed with taste and practicality. The design of the rooms and foyer feel modern and luxurious. The breakfast provided was bespoke and felt special. The warmness and hospitality of the staff did not go unnoticed. I look forward to returning to this hotel in the near future and commend the owner and the staff of this hotel.

The hotel is unique and very aesthetic, with beautiful art pieces displayed in the lobby. Its location is very convenient—close to convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants, and just a short walk to bus stops and train stations. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, which made my stay even more enjoyable. They also provide complimentary coffee and tea, which was a nice touch during my stay.

The Single Room has adequate space for one single traveler. The room is clean, quiet and the bed is comfortable. If anything, I would say the lighting of the room is a bit too dark for me.
For art lovers, the bonus is that this is not your typical hotel with artwork collections; the lobby is an art gallery for real. I was pleasantly surprised to be invited to an exhibition opening cocktail party during my stay.
Also, you don’t want to miss the thoughtfully designed, nutrition-balanced breakfast. The colorful plate will energize your day from the beginning.

Cool Design. Great Location. Small Rooms.

Node Hotel will please the design fans - it's uber cool which is refreshing considering you are in such a beautiful historic city. The rooms are lowly lit and the amenities are all as you would expect from this hotel too. I didn't eat breakfast at the hotel but it did look great and well presented. My only feedback would be the room itself was incredibly small (it felt more like a university single dorm room). For one person it was manageable but moving around there with another person and 2 suitcases would be very uncomfortable so do opt for the larger room if available.

My husband and I got to stay here back in October for our honey moon. My biggest regret was only staying here for 2 nights, the hotel was very clean, the lady at the front desk and the workers in the restaurant were extremely friendly. They made our stay very special, and we are forever grateful for the service we were given. The hotel is in a great spot, the hotel felt very upscale, probably one of the nicest I’ve ever stayed in. The food and drinks at their restaurant were absolutely delicious. We did both breakfast and dinner while we were there. From the moment we set foot in the hotel to the moment we left they made us feel extremely welcomed and at home. If you find yourself going to Kyoto do yourself a favor and stay here. You will not regret it! Thank you all for the wonderful hospitality!

We stayed in 4 hotels during our stay in Japan and this was by far the best. It was a smaller hotel within walking distance of some main attractions. The staff were incredible at dealing with our every request, including arranging for our luggage to be transferred onto the next hotel. The room was a good size for Japan with plenty of pace for our luggage and a comfy bed. We didn't eat at the restaurant but It looked like it served some good food.

Very modern hotel with extremely helpful and friendly staff, however the corridors are very dark. Our bedroom had multiple levels which I wasn't so keen on. Breakfasts were delicious and very well-presented. Overall a great hotel at a reasonable price, however I found that it lacked warmth.

The cons - not super close to metro (compared to another hotel that I'd cancelled for this one) and my room was very damp...like all the time, including the bedding.

The pros - the staff were AMAZING! They were super helpful, whatever I needed they were attentive and this location stood out in terms of making me feel comfortable in Kyoto.

I would absolutely return if they could take care of the dampness in the room.

Node hotel might be my favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed at in my whole life and was easily my favorite hotel in Japan. The entire hotel was impeccably clean. The decor of the hotel is very cool and modern and the room was a good size-similar to the size of a western hotel and the largest room we stayed in, in Japan (we stayed in the standard double room). The location was good-a two minute walk to at least two bus stops, about 10 minutes from a train station, about a 10 minute walk to the fish market, and about 25 minute walk to Gion. You can also catch the bus from the hotel to go to Gion quicker for 250 JP yen. The neighborhood is also very safe and quiet. The hotel serves food and has a bar, which I also recommend checking out! The area that really made this hotel stand out was the concierge staff. Ozaki helped us make reservations to an unforgettable restaurant for my husbands’ birthday just by telling him the cuisine we were interested in and he helped us find same day medical care with appreciated discretion. The concierge staff all spoke fluent English which aided in ensuring they provided the best service for our restaurant and medical request plus all other questions regarding transportation, recommendations on where to eat, activities in the area, and for calling a taxi for us. I truly cannot recommend staying at Node hotel enough! Staying at this hotel made our trip to Kyoto our favorite place to visit on our Japan trip and I hope to stay there again one day.

The dark interior design in the common areas felt oppressive, and the industrial loft design/finish of our room felt cold. The furniture looked beat and worn, and it was hard to tell if that was intentional as a design element or if it was really just beat and worn. The three-legged desk chair was particularly uncomfortable. The one positive was the bathroom was very nicely designed and clean.

Comfortable stay in a stunning hotel

Node is a beautifully designed hotel, from the front desk to the restaurant to the rooms. We stayed in a stair double room and it was spacious for two people. Service was incredible, the front desk helped us make dinner reservations. Location was very convenient, a short walk to Nishiki Market and a direct bus ride to Kiyomizu. They offered free welcome drinks at the bar and the breakfast is a must try as well. We will definitely stay again!

Great and comfort hotel near the Market

The hotel is great we spent 5 nights, located in a very nice area train station is 5 min walk and the market is nearby, service was great although lack some small thinks like having a electric socket handy... but still very good service. Breakfast is good (Western style) but with no changes ..... We liked allot the design and the comfort of the room (relatively big room to other hotels we staid in Japan) personally for me the really down side was that there is no Sento but we know it ahead....
