Situated in a beautiful and quieter part of Kyoto but well connected to the main sites, bus stop nearby and subways within reasonable walking distance.

Nice staff, large spacious rooms with designs of Japan. Breakfast was decent as it was included, just wish you were able to choose what you’d like versus the set menu provided (for example ask me how I would like my eggs) Location is perfect, 10 minute walk from subway stations, Starbucks, and shopping areas.

Everything about this place I completely loved, and was my favorite hotel on my japan trip. The room was HUGE and there were lots of cute places to eat and roam tucked in behind its location. Rooms have a very cool design element and the exterior has a brutalist look. Excellent for those who value design and uniqueness in their boutique hotel experience. Would 100% stay here again.

The room we had in the Screen was great. It was huge, had a shower and jacuzzi bath, a loving room area with a tv and free mini bar, as well as a lovely big bed. The staff were increasingly friendly and useful, and there was also a breakfast each morning. The area the hotel was located in was just near the park and was on a road full of lovely shops, about a 15-20 minute stroll into central Kyoto.

This is one of the most unique places we’ve ever stayed in. Every room in The Screen is done by a different designer and the one we got was incredibly spacious by Japanese standards. The room felt luxurious with its simple yet stunning design, comfortable bed, floor-to-ceiling windows, and great amenities. The Screen is located in a quieter part of the city but is only a quick walk to bus stops on Kawaramachi. We really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to go back.
