What a gem!
We absolutely LOVED our stay at the Marufukuro. A real gem of a boutique hotel. Attentive service, gorgeous bar, close to a metro stop and beautiful rooms. It was the highlight hotel of our 2 weeks Japan trip. Our guest relations manager Chou was super friendly and knowledgable. The hotel is less than 5 mins walk to Shichijo Station on n the Keegan line, with easy access by train directly to Gion, Pontocho, Kiyomizu Dera Temple, and Inari temple. As well, the same line goes all the way to Osaka. It’s a straightforward walk of 15 mins to Kyoto station for Shinkansen, or a quick taxi ride.

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!!!!

This hotel is incredible - if you are interested in the history of Nintendo before Mario came along, you will fall in love with the library and all of the wonderful touches around the hotel. Staff all so friendly and welcoming! Highly recommended.

I am a self-proclaimed hotel snob and I absolutely loved Marufukuro, would definitely stay here again. Not only were the staff extraordinarily kind, the property has so much history which they clearly care about, everything was so clean. I cannot say enough good things, thank you Marufukuro for such a wonderful experience!

We loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer! The staff at reception were fantastic and helped however needed. Our room was clean and beautiful, and the bed was comfortable. We appreciated access to the bar and library- it was a great spot to quietly end the night. There were many amenities provided in the room. The room key was obviously unique, and we were happy we could buy a copy of the keychain at checkout. The hotel was in a quiet area and off the beaten path, so we did use a taxi frequently. Some taxi drivers weren’t sure where to take us based on hotel name alone, so I usually put the address in Maps and then they used my phone to get us there. We would absolutely stay here again!

Treasure of Kyoto
I recommend this hotel to everybody who visit Kyoto.You should stay in the hotel rather than going out. There are lots of hidden joys everywhere in the building.Please enjoy the beauty of it. We, Japanese must appreciate the fact that such a beautiful building is kept and we can actually stay ! I'd love to come back soon.
