The breakfast was nice, a little different but fresh and a choice of Western or Japanese. The room was massive and clean, I believe we were upgraded to a suite and there were included drinks in the fridge which were replenished. Bed was comfortable, good sized bathroom and a storage cupboard for suitcases and hanging clothes. All the staff were lovely and helpful.

It was a great stay, location is a bit out of the way but in a very nice quieter area of the city, was very happy with our room aside from the fact the “windows” were beside a stack of machines so sounded like an airplane going off, they did offer to change rooms but we stayed as the room we had was very modern and bright. Breakfast included for one morning was average, overall recommend staying here and the hotel itself is so quiet.

We LOVED our stay at The Screen. The room was a wonderful size, beautifully decorated, with a sliding door separating the bed from the couch area. The staff was incredibly helpful and thoughtful- we felt like they personalized our stay with origami in the bedroom and a note on our breakfast platters the final day. The area was amazing! Close to the park and buses, only a 10 minute walk from the metro line, and 15 minutes from amazing shopping and dining options. 10/10 would stay there again!!

Amazing boutique hotel. The staff made us feel important ❤️. Our “suite” was amazing, too bad we were in and about since 6 am, we didn’t have time to enjoy the super large screen movie theater type of living room. An amazing place, we loved every second in The Screen.

8/10 Very good

Good stay, for the price it was a great find. The room was nice but needed maintenance in terms of paint/carpet other than that it was very clean. It has a nice very view, our favorite part was the location. It was a walkable distance to many things in Kyoto. Nishiki Market is one notable space and Kawaramachi-dori Street. Easy access to bus stations and train stations. Would recommend.
