We stayed at Mogana from September 27th 2025- September 30th 2025. The hotel is beautiful, very modern as we had expected. Everything super clean and neat, in excellent condition. We received amazing customer service from Dodi & his team from the very beginning as it wax my 50th birthday treat from my husband. Dodi kindly arranged all my birthday surprises with my husband and everything was absolutely beautiful and perfect. The best hotel and service we’ve received in any hotel we’ve ever stayed at! Very highly recommended.

We stayed in a few hotels during our stay in Tokyo and Kyoto and this one was our favourite. Super modern with fantastic service and facilities. Spacious room with all the mod cons, beautiful amenities, treats, big bath & shower etc. Lemon cake and welcome drink on arrival. Fruit juices, water, soda water in fridge replenished each day. Drip coffee was cool - even loved the kettle! Big comfy bed, lounge area. Two choices of slippers - usual white ones and some japanese. Even had a dyson hairdryer. Was a few blocks from station - maybe one closer, we didnt check! Enjoyed wandering the area. Yum restaurants nearby, 7/11, Lawsons closeby. Our favourite souvenirs were from local craft store pretty much next door. Will stay again for sure! This hotel is stunning!

A staff associate, was excellent, Dody, he was very fluent in English and help us a lot, he provide us with a complete program to go to train station and to exit it and wrote messages in Japanese for the taxi driver, he was excellent. About the hotel I suggest the smoking room should have a bench or chairs and maybe add some music so smokers don’t feel it like being in prison, I renamed the smoking rooms in Japan as the “SMOKING CAGE” 😂

Breakfast was excellent! Staff was very friendly and the room was very clean. We loved the fact that there was no TV in the room. The location of the hotel was a little far away from the main streets so you would need to take trains or a cab (up to 2000 yen). A short ‘Noren curtain’ to separate the bathroom/toilet area and bedroom was not ideal. We needed more privacy…we got a room with balcony but there was no chairs/table outside….

Very modern and sleek lobby and hallways but more traditional looking rooms, though with a modern flare. This is not a cute old-style ryokan. It's a super modern hotel tucked into a quiet, perfectly-located neighborhood that deceptively has a ton of shops and restaurants. The rooms are spacious and clean, staff helpful.

A gem of a Boutique Hotel in Kyoto.

Mogana is a peaceful haven. Highly recommend this hotel. Walking distance to cute shops and cafes, as well as a good shopping district. Amazing amenities. Service was impeccable. Hotel's signature drink is to die for (my friend wouldn't shut up about it!). Would stay again for sure.

Rooms do look like the picture, BUT the views are NOT as advertised. You're likely looking at AC units or another unattractive view as my friends also had a similar view on the other side of the hotel. Lighting is not great in the bathroom. Coffee wasn't great as they had a drip system. Looked cute, but not awesome if you need coffee. It also wasn't as conveniently located as we thought. Not a bad hotel by any means, but not a 5 star.
