What a beautiful boutique hotel. Very unique rooms, love the decor. Really felt authentic Japanese with modern flare. Loved the amenities, the breakfast was amazing and the staff is very attentive. A bit of a walk from the closest train station but overall I would stay here again.

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.

We had a fantastic stay at the Screen. The hotel was a short walk to Nishiki Market but on a nice quiet street away from the busy area. The room was very large and well designed. The best part of our stay was the hotel staff that were very kind and went out of their way to make sure that we enjoyed our stay. We would definitely return to the Screen for any future trips to Kyoto.

I stayed in February 2025. The Screen is a unique boutique hotel situated in a quieter part of Kyoto but still within walking distance to attractions like Gion. There are also some great restaurants and cafes nearby. From what I understand, the hotel offers 13 rooms, each designed by a different designer. I was in the orange room, which was super spacious with room for a king bed, a separate lounge/living area (complete with orange leather couch), full wall vanity and desk area, a full closet and bathroom. Despite the spaciousness, I found a couple things to be unusual within the room itself - firstly, I don't believe there was a built in ventilation fan in the bathroom and the staff asked me to use the dehumidifier unit supplied in the bathroom. Odd for a modern hotel but it wasn't a big deal. There was also what I perceived to be an odd electrical anomaly (or a ghost, if you prefer ;)) but the vanity light would flicker now and then for the briefest moment at random times. I also noticed that some of the surfaces in the room could use a little bit of a refresh with chipped paint and wallpaper starting to peel. Other than that, my stay was pleasant and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I left my watch behind as well and they notified me immediately. They also arranged to have it delivered to my next hotel. Overall, The Screen is a fine place to stay, with very helpful staff and plenty of space, which is a nice departure from more cramped accommodations.
