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.

What a fascinating glimpse into the seminal roots of Nintendo's rise from a simple card making company into one of the most powerful Video Game companies in the world. Marufukuro has it all...a stunning architectural example of old world craftsmanship vs. Tadao Ando's modernist visions. The neighborhood is quiet and tranquil and is teaming with herons as a lovely bonus! Hotel staff is warm and goes above and beyond.

The hotel, meticulously restored by renowned architect Tadao Ando, is a masterpiece of design, embracing the spirit of the Showa era with exquisite art-deco detailing. This architectural elegance seamlessly translates into a delightful ambiance at Carta, the restaurant within, complementing our enjoyment.

Amazing hotel

First of all, the interior is superior. Designed by Ando Tadao, and the cleaness of the hotel is on point. The service was amazing and it was also inclusive. So the hotel minibar is all free and the lounge’s food is all free as well ( wine and beer ) We will definitely go back when i visit Kyoto again.

Japan has some of the best customer service in the world, but the staff here stood out. Andrea gave us an impromptu tour of the facilities and went out of her way to help us. The attention to detail when it came to the decor was outstanding. If you love Nintendo, this is the place to stay. It definitely surpasses a 5 star hotel. It deserves a 6!!!!
