Friendly, big comfortable bed, hot shower, location great for both town and temples near the hills, nice food in bar downstairs and locally, rooftop looked good but too cold and wet to use

Traffic noise during day and early morning, we had ear plugs and had a very good night's sleep. Room is compact, most of it taken up by bed,

Hotel Material was a great choice for our family vacation in Kyoto. Very cozy and clean, great staff and location. The only thing that we wished they had was maid service. We don’t know that they didn’t have this which was a surprise. You also have to request clean towels if you wanted them which is something I didn’t want to have to worry about while on vacation. Over all I would stay there again!

I stayed for an exhibition at the near by Miyako Messe exhibition center. The hotel is 10 mins walk away, and 20 mins walk from the town centre. Excellent location, and I really liked the clean modern interior design too. The reception staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful, and spoke English which made everything easy.

Clean, comfortable beds, great quiet location. Geronimo was excellent and by far the friendliest and most helpful hotel staff I’ve ever encountered. Ramen shop downstairs was delicious and convenient. Our family of 3 was beyond pleased with our stay here.

This was our favorite place we stayed on our trip. Material is a great little boutique hotel with lots of charm. By Japan Standards our room was actually fairly large and had a great industrial mixed with Japanese traditional feel to it. Despite facing a major road, road noise was minimal, the location was a short walk from the nearest subway station and was comparatively short walks from many of the top tourist locations in the city. We walk a lot on trips in general (approximately 10 miles a day on average) so of course this is all relative. Our room was a 3rd floor walk up so it probably wouldn't be ideal for those with mobility issues. We ate at Detail ramen, the restaurant that shares the ground floor with the hotel, twice on during our stay and were quite happy with the meals we had! Be sure to look at their hours if you want to make that a part of your stay and keep in mind that the restaurant is cash only and their ticket ordering machine only accepts the older bills (at least at the time of writing this). Overall the hotel staff were very friendly and patient with us when we needed to use google translate for the few things language barrier got in the way of. The premises was quiet and just generally really lovely. It was the only hotel we stayed in during our trip to Japan that we actually felt excited about spending time in. Because we found the room so pleasant we ended up changing around our itinerary a bit to get up early and go out to see and photograph sites before sunrise, come back to the hotel for a mid day rest and nap before going out in the afternoon to evening for more site seeing or shopping. We also spent a couple evenings enjoying some drinks we purchased at the Lawsons about a block away on the rooftop while watching the sun set, talking and reconnecting. For the right kind of traveler this place is an absolute gem in balance between affordability, comfort, and location.

We wished we had had a couple more/better pillows on the bed, and maybe a few more hangers/hooks to hang up and store clothes. These were both minor things that can hardly be considered issues by our metrics.

I found the location perfect to visit temples and Gion, while being outside the chaos. 5-10 min away from the metro and close to many bus stops. The room has a nice design, bathroom was clean and there were many amenities. Despite being on a main street, traffic noise did not bother my sleep

The room was not very functional. No place to hold the luggage. No real space for a second person. The bed is on the floor, but it is not a futon, it is a soft mattress with a normal pillow. After three nights I had back pain. The duvet should be in cotton. It is impossible to take a shower without flooding the bathroom ( design error). There is quite a lot of dust in the room, please clean the filter of the aircon! There is no elevator. The place has a total of six rooms and the receptionist is there very rarely.

The place was great, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The room is rather spacious and has an interesting design. Beautiful surrounding area with shrines and a museum, also you can easily walk to Gion. Comfortable futons and good sound-proofing. A decent ramen restaurant as a part of the hotel. Big terrace on the roof.

It's prohibited to bring your own food or drinks on the terrace, though the bar wasn't working for our whole stay there. Would be great to hang out there with some drinks and snacks.

This was a small boutique hotel, so lovely and quiet. Jeronimo, the manager was so so helpful - nothing was too much trouble for him (it was also nice to be able to have a good conversation in English)!! It had a lovely roof top terrace that we would have loved to relax on with a drink but…heh, kids, aren’t fond of ‘relaxing’. Great restaurant just two doors down and a ramen restaurant downstairs in the hotel - so easy to grab dinner at the end of busy days!! Plus my kids got a good kick out of the toilet seat that opened for you as you walked into the toilet.

Apart from possibly needing a new shower curtain (and really that’s kind of looking for something to pick on), nothing really.

This teeny boutique hotel had all the amenities needed for our stay and more! Small touches, like the deck of uno cards in the room, and the friendliness of Jeronimo on the front desk, made Material feel like home. The bed was also the comfiest of our trip in Japan!

There are two 'Materials' in Kyoto so just make sure you go to the right one! We ended up arriving at the wrong location, but staff there were also really friendly and helped us journey plan to the correct place!
