We stayed here for one night as a special treat, but wish we could have stayed longer. This hotel is in a former Nintendo office and warehouse and there are subtle nods to Nintendo throughout the building. The staff are very happy to help. The rooms are immaculate and roomy and the vibe is phenomenal. Wholly recommend!

A wonderful relaxing stay with class and elegance and lovely surprises along the way. A beautiful historical building with a ton of charm and the opportunity to stay in the residence of the Nintendo founder and second CEO.

Very friendly staff! The hotel itself is absolutely gorgeous and the rooms were very clean! The free bar and library are an amazing extra also.

The receptionist was really professional. When he found out I’m a big Nintendo fan, he recommended a room with lots of Nintendo touches. He also took the time to share some history about the building and details about the room. On top of that, his effortless charm made him a true gentleman. It was a fantastic place.

A little expensive, but worth it to experience it.

The room was incredible, with awesome Nintendo history.

The staff is amazing!

I expected more elements of Nintendo (e.g. historic pictures, decade-ago working documents regarding game design, introduction/history sharing through more decorations or a page on TV menu) than only a library. Also, I would expect more connections with other Nintendo spots (for example, this is a Nintendo trip for me, which I headed to Nintendo Museum and USJ after checking out from this hotel. That would be great if there could be a shuttle bus or at least a general map or suggested routes provided by the hotel but there's not. That would be even greater if the hotel would consider having partnership promotion with other Nintendo spots and provide combo options.)

Classy. Cozy. Great ambience with good design. Good outlook. Excellent food and beverage (no matter the paid breakfast or the complimentary 24-hour bar with great snacks like ham and sorbet). Offering a good mood and atmosphere related to Nintendo (as a former office).

There were construction noises during the day as there are works happening right opposite the hotel.

Beautiful location by the Kamo river, makes you feel like you’re living the zen Kyoto life. The staff is excellent and goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay (shout out to Cho-san for his kindness and ever present smile). The complimentary in room amenities are very generous. And of course, being Nintendo we loved winding down in the Library Bar after the days exploring was done.

Marufukuro is a beautifully appointed hotel in a quiet neighbourhood of Kyoto. It is close to buses and subway stations and is about 20 mins walk from Kyoto main station so it is a very convenient location. The hotel is decorated with classic mid century modern furniture and has retained much of the original features of the Nintendo offices. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, the guest only lounge is a relaxing space to spend an evening and the bed was the most comfortable of our entire trip. The rooms are very spacious compared to average Japanese hotel rooms. It is at a higher price point than we are usually comfortable with but as it was a special occasion for us we splashed out. Everything is luxurious and well considered, so the pricing does reflect the offering. There are snacks and beverages offered at no extra cost and various amenities available including complimentary access to a local onsen. Staff were a delight to deal with and were very helpful.

The pillows would probably be the only complaint, but still managed to sleep. Just not the style I prefer.

Easy walk from Kyoto station (10mins), quiet area but still has everything you need close by. Staff were amazing and friendly. The room was massive and so was the bed. The things included with your room, amazing!

Everything about my stay at Marufukuro was exceptional. The staff was incredibly kind, the amenities were top-notch, the rooms were beautiful and my dinner at the hotel restaurant was one of the best meals of my entire trip to Kyoto. Not only would I absolutely stay here again, I've already recommended it to friends and family as well. The library, the bar, the snacks provided... everything was perfect! Thank you to the entire staff of Marafukuro for making my stay such a pleasant one and I look forward to visiting again one day! PS: If you're staying here, make sure to book one of the balcony rooms. The view was perfect to watch the sunrise and sunset!

Nothing

An absolutely stunning hotel with lovely staff, wonderful complimentary snacks and drinks, and a library and bar that is to die for. The food is some of the best I’ve ever eaten, I will be dreaming of the scrambled eggs and seaweed for years to come. The Nintendo connection is the cherry on top. Super.

everything was great

We have really enjoyed staying here. Outstanding experience. Small, but very cozy. Great attention to all the details. Not only for Nintendo fans, but in general a great taste of an japanese art deco era. They have complimentary very good selection of drinks. Nice breakfast. And the most importantly, the outstanding welcoming, charmfull and helpful staff. Also all stuff speaks fluently english.

Absolutely everything. The library, the restaurant, the rooms. It was THE best hotel I ever had the pleasure of staying.

I didn't like that it didn't have an elevator.

The hotel was extremely amazing and the location is the perfect distance to any Kyoto attractions. The front desk staff are so courteous, informative, and very professional. Lastly the Japanese breakfast was outstanding! Thank you all for the perfect stay!

I really enjoyed the hotel atmosphere. The hotel was the Japanese company. Nowadays it renovated as a unique and historical hotel. I hope I can come back again one day.
