It is not. It is the most luxurious hotel we’ve stayed at, including 5 star properties. The room was amazing. The location was perfect. Although everyone in Japan seems extraordinarily nice, the staff here beat even that standard. There was not one second of our time at this property that wasn’t perfect. 10/10. ![The bed can hold a dozen people. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7a34e658-4e49-4105-a571-cc268d09adba-1750758245838.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Two levels!! ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/17d03ae9-a9a0-4a50-aa58-2870a888452a-1750758246064.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Tub for two. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b485112b-c1e9-4110-b4e5-5d34e324efa5-1750758245763.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Dan Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yee pong 9 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Executive room was grand, complimented by high ceilings and just an overall large space compared to many other hotels/inns one would expect in Japan. The room was clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable (much larger than your typically king size) after your long days in Kyoto. The hotel is located in Gion and is a quiet and beautiful neighborhood in Kyoto, nestled in between the main touristy area and Marayuma park. There is a Family mart just outside the hotel and a coin laundry - extreme convenience. Hotel staff were incredibly nice and helped with luggage delivery service to our next hotel. Would definitely stay here again in the future! ##### Yee pong Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane 9 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is an exceptional small hotel.

I will be back. Literally a 5 star experience walking distance to the most beautiful area in Kyoto. Very easy to access anything you want; food, shopping, shrines, metro and trains. The staff couldn’t be more kind always arranging taxis or giving suggestions of where to go and eat etc.. I was sad to leave this hotel. That doesn’t happen very often in traveling. I will be back here one day soon. ❤️ ##### tracy Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason 24 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Absolutely Incomparable The Art Mon Zen is one of the most delightful hotels I have ever stayed in. The rooms were beautiful, immaculately clean and incomparable comfortable. Each one features unique and fascinating antiques (ours had a cuneiform tablet, Roman bowl and Ming vase). The breakfasts were skillfully prepared and artfully presented; we ended up eating there every day we could. The afternoon tea was whimsical, gorgeous and utterly delicious - don't miss it if you stay here! The location is basically perfect: in Gion, walking distance to the river, the Path of Philosophy, Kiyomizu, Yasaka, Gion's shopping, etc. Sanjo station is three minutes away, from whence you can easily connect to anywhere in the Kyoto train system. And despite all that, the staff is what truly made our trip magical. They were polite, attentive and always friendly. They helped us organize a variety of outings and dinners across Kyoto, all of which were perfect. They even rescued us from a mountain hike, when we lost phone service and couldn't call our taxi. They went well beyond 'above and beyond' in every way. I have stayed in luxury hotels across the world, and I can say without caveat that the Art Mon Zen is one of the finest you will ever have the privilege of enjoying. ##### Jason Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Junxian 21 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel in a convenient location Stayed there for 3 nights. Received a free upgrade on our rooms upon check-in so that was always a nice welcome. No idea what grade we were upgraded to, but the rooms were huge for Japan standards. Room amenities were great too. Bose speakers, Nespresso machine, bigger than usual bathtub with bubbles, and even a steam humidifier (although the buttons were in Japanese characters and there weren't instructions on how to operate it). Hotel staff were really friendly and helpful. My parents' room had a faulty door and they managed to get it repaired while we were out sightseeing, thus avoiding the inconvenience of changing rooms. One evening, we asked the staff for help in making a restaurant reservation. Not only was that efficiently done, they also took the initiative to print out a map showing how to get to the restaurant from our hotel. Talk about great service! Location was good too. Just a stone's throw away from the heart of Gion, and being a few minutes walk from Sanjo and Shijo Dori stations meant that getting about was easy. Downtown Kyoto was just about 10-15mins walk away. And there's a Lawson right outside the hotel too. Breakfast was yummy too. Had just came back from Paris recently and was starting to miss the boulangeries there, so the breakfast of croissant and pain au chocolat sourced from Le Pain Quotidien really hit the spot. All in all, a great hotel that I would highly recommend, and I'm definitely going to stay there again shall I return to Kyoto. ##### Junxian Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony 13 May 2025 ##### Anthony Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris 3 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Chris Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beverly 4 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Beverly Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine 8 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Catherine Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### masaya 30 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 駅からアクセスしやすく、荷物などを持って行きやすかったです。 施設の中も設備が充実しており、部屋の中でも快適に過ごせました。 従業員の方もチェックインからチェックアウトまでとても丁寧にしていただいて嬉しかったです。 ぜひまた利用したいと思います。 ##### masaya Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sylvie 17 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Equipe accueillante et attentive.

Location is perfect to explore Kyoto, with some of the best attractions and restaurants in the city mere steps away. The Executive room we stayed in was very spacious, tastefully furnished and decorated, quiet at night and beautifully bright during the day thanks to the floor to ceiling windows. The bed was very large and extremely comfortable and the air conditioning whisper silent and effective. The bathroom included a supersized high pressure rain shower and a Jacuzzi. Not sure why this is classed as a 3 star hotel, when the comfort and beauty of the room and the exceptionally high level of service could easily grant it a 5 star rating. We couldn't have been happier with the choice of our Kyoto hotel! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Kanra Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Kanra-Kyoto.h4290390.Hotel-Information) > > [Good Nature Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Good-Nature-Hotel-Kyoto.h37234951.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Iconic-Kyoto.h67663093.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Kyoto.h74059283.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Hotel-Seiryu-Kyoto-Kiyomizu.h44931128.Hotel-Information) > > [SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-SOLARIA-Nishitetsu-Hotel-Kyoto-Premier.h17040479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hearton Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hearton-Hotel-Kyoto.h1452244.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Miyako Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Westin-Miyako-Kyoto.h878301.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Richmond-Hotel-Premier-Kyoto-Ekimae.h37207574.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Emion Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Emion-Kyoto.h45911447.Hotel-Information) > > [Asai Kyoto Shijo Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Asai-Kyoto-Shijo-Hotel.h93073540.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Okura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Hotel-Okura.h6621.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Resol-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Sanjo.h21926337.Hotel-Information) > > [Noku Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Noku-Kyoto.h12714915.Hotel-Information) > > [RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-Royal-Hotel-Kyoto.h178521.Hotel-Information) > > [Cross Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-CROSS-HOTEL-KYOTO.h27026975.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyo-machiya Stay WAKA Fushimiinari-tei](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyo-Machiya-Stay-WAKA-Fushimiinari-Tei.h12622986.Hotel-Information) > > [Nazuna Kyoto Gosho](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Gosho.h27637350.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Royal-Park-Hotel-Kyoto-Sanjo.h4538458.Hotel-Information) > > [Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kadensho.h34491269.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Granvia Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Granvia-Kyoto.h444770.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [Ace Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ace-Hotel-Kyoto.h45895767.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sanjo-Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Tokyu-Stay-Kyoto-Ryougaemachi-Dori-Sanjo-Karasuma.h18573474.Hotel-Information) > > [NISHIYAMA RYOKAN - Established in 1953](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-NISHIYAMA-RYOKAN.h3886831.Hotel-Information) > > [JR WEST GROUP VIA INN PRIME KYOTOEKI HACHIJOGUCHI](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Via-Inn-Kyoto-Station-Hachijoguchi.h33382855.Hotel-Information) > > [THE GATE HOTEL KYOTO TAKASEGAWA by HULIC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-GATE-HOTEL-KYOTO-TAKASEGAWA-By-HULIC.h46993133.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mercure-Kyoto-Station.h46949381.Hotel-Information) > > [Rihga Gran Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-GRAN-KYOTO.h38953457.Hotel-Information)
