Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Location was about 15-20 minute walk to da Jo station and 30-40 to Nishiki market. Area is quiet and lots of Konbinis nearby so that was great. Staff were very helpful and responsive when asking questions and with any needs. Only suggestion to the hotel is that the rooms have a mildew scent from I think too much humidity. Aside from that it was great

Great spot in Kyoto, on the metro but not too busy. A small boutique hotel, only 6 rooms, great for some quiet time after busy days. Didn’t eat in the restaurant, but it was often busy and smelt great.

Small and perfect for us, a little boutique hotel. The manager is what makes this hotel so wonderful, following his direction we had wonderful meals and drinks. The only knock is it smelt a bit milduey and it's a bit out of the way, but for us it was the perfect location

Highly recommend

Postives: Our room was large, we had a refrigerator, it was very clean, huge shower room, Also, there is an excellent restaurant next door. Overall, we were very happy. One thing to know: The desk is manned very limited hours. The man who checked us in was wonderful and answered all our questions. We never saw anyone at the check in desk after that. So ask all your questions when you check in.

All the facilities in the accommodation were satisfactory, maybe because it was a solo trip. In particular, the location was very suitable for traveling. However, the large windows on the side of the road and the traffic in the room were uncomfortable, but it's not a big problem. This is an accommodation that I will consider as my top priority during my next trip to Kyoto.

Hotel Material was the perfect location to access all our Kyoto sightseeing. Many things on our must see list were in walking distance and transit (bus, rail, subway) were all a convenient walk away. The Hotel itself was adorable and staff friendly and helpful. A special thanks to Jeronimo who was the perfect host! I wish I could rate more than 5 stars!

probably the nicest hotel I stayed at in japan. The owner is there to check you in and he was so very helpful the entire trip. He spoke perfectly fluent English and was willing to help with any thing that you need. 10/10 for him alone. They also have a ramen shop at first floor which was honestly one of the best we had in japan.

Hotel material is located in such a great place. Easy walking to temples and shrines. Lovely views to the tree clad hills (very close) and easy access to buses and the subway. The front rooms (the smaller rooms) are nosy enough from the road. The best thing of all was Geronimo the manager who was so friendly and welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable, he really made the hotel feel like a home from home. Thanks for a wonderful visit in kyoto.

Amazing.

Jeronimo went above and beyond to make my stay the best it could be. Whether it be through recommendations of where to go or how to get around or just well-being issues, he was there every step of the way. I would recommend this hotel as one of the best I’ve ever been to. I hope to be back.

Loved our stay at Hotel Material! We booked the Mini Room/ Double Room, which was a tad tight for my husband and I, but still plenty comfortable! (We only had carry on’s and backpacks, otherwise it would have been more difficult.) Room: 5/5. Loved the balcony. Street noise can be heard, but it’s not terrible. Super clean. Great amenities. Super comfortable bed! Slept great!! Bathroom: 5/5. Lovely toilet & toilet room. Great shower & shower room. Nice towels & amenities. Staff: 5/5. Great communication prior to checking in, and after checking out. The gentleman (Jeronimo) was super helpful and personable! Such a great guy. The other two individuals I encountered were also nice, but not as great of English (no big deal since I know I’m a foreigner in their country.) The location was great, but expect to walk a lot to get to the prime locations! They let us leave our luggage on our check-out day (check-out is at 10 am) to allow us to explore Kyoto more. So nice! (Also there is no breakfast or cafe in the building anymore, as a FYI.) Thank you again so much for a great stay!! Absolutely recommend to everyone for their Kyoto travels! Great value!

お部屋が道路沿いだったので騒音がひどかった。フロントが常駐していないので、宿泊客は心の準備が必要。チェックインの時に前払いをして鍵を貰ったら、それで終わりという感じ。ベッドは絨毯の上にベッドマットが置いてあるので何となく気持ちが良くなかった。但し、フロントに人がいない時には電話をすれば、それなりに対応してくれた、タオルも備品も清潔感があった。

Lovely, modern hotel

Our stay coincided with the coronavirus virus and consequently we were the only guests in the hotel. The manager, Jeronimo was so welcoming, friendly and helpful that I can’t praise him enough. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated. The public areas were modern and stylish. The hotel is in an excellent area for visiting many of the tourist attractions of Kyoto

Chic design and super comfy bed

Chic design and large, comfortable rooms with friendly staff and good cafe/bar. If I had realised there was no elevator I might have thought twice about the size of my suitcase but the staff were happy to help. Cleaning is not included but clean towels are available on request. Close to the Philsopher's Walk in a nice area with small shops and cafes, not within walking distance to central Kyoto but the subway is close and easy to navigate
