Located just across from the Kyoto garden our stay at the Screen was pleasant. The concierge spoke great English and was very helpful when we needed to make reservations. We stayed in the designer suite which was probably one of the largest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed in. We ate breakfast there every day except for the one day we were getting up very early to go to the Fushimi Inari Taisha. We let them know that we wouldn’t be needing breakfast and they offered to make us sandwiches instead to take with us. I’m not sure if this is a common thing in Japan but I thought it was so nice and accommodating. I really appreciated it. It’s a little far from train stations so if that’s important to you keep that in mind but if u don’t mind a walk go for it. I didn’t think it was too far to walk.

Fantastic service and a beautiful space!

The Screen is an amazing hotel! Our room was very beautiful and well-designed. The breakfast was incredibly delicious and the staff thoughtfully accommodated all of our dietary restrictions. Everyone we interacted with was very kind and attentive. The desk staff even gave us dry umbrellas when we came in with wet ones. Fantastic service!! It is very well-located as well. We will stay here again for sure!

Nice stay in Kyoto

The Screen is a small boutique hotel with each room with a different design/theme. Great welcome at check-in by staff & was shown around the hotel with amenities explained & also shown to room. Welcome drink provided. The Screen is very plush & situated in a quiet area of Kyoto. The room was large with king bed, lounge, bath, shower. Tea & coffee making facilities in room or in central area near reception. Had an 6 night stay at The Screen with Kyoto my base for daily sightseeing. Access to public transport , bus or train/subway , is walkable. There are a number of dining options in the area. The Screen has its own restaurant & cafe. Ate at the restaurant one night , the food was delicious & the service was top rate. The staff at The Screen were friendly & professional. Would recommend The Screen for a stay in Kyoto.

Eclectic hotel with 13 gorgeous rooms and a delectable restaurant. It’s opposite the imperial palace but the subway/metro is a bit of a walk. Having said that it was a short walk to ippudo and the buses to other places I was keen on like philosophers walk etc.

Wonderful modern hotel in Kyoto

We had a great experience at the Screen. We were traveling with friends, and each of our rooms had a very unique design. Each had a large jacuzzi bath. The front desk was quite helpful, especially with restaurant reservations. The Japanese breakfast was delicious and well-portioned. Clearly the hotel is a wedding venue, as there was chapel seating on the top floor and a large rooftop deck for a reception.
