Very cool hotel, lovely people. Fun experience, little tight on space in the room with two people and luggage, however it's an Art Room, so that's exactly what it is and does that well.

Art hotel
A special and artistic boutique hotel. Small but delicious and good breakfast. Courteous and helpful staff. Japanese-style accommodation in most rooms. It was not clear from the photos on the website that most of the beds are low. Sometimes the art in the rooms causes discomfort for guests and some of the room furnishings are in compartments in the hallway, so the rooms are not very comfortable to use.

We stayed there 6 nights and loved there. The room 303 was spacious - especially in Japan. Original decoration - truly living in art, great modern bathroom, and very accommodating and plesant staff.
Close to everything with bus stop&7eleven just outside. Laundry less than 5 min walk.
Great coffee area and coffee itself - breakfast options are quite limited, but again, the staff was very accommodating in terms of food requirements.
We stayed in 3 hotels in Japan so far, and this was our favourite.
They also have bar and little art gallery on the ground floor.

Absorb all the luck and fortune in five yen room
I entered the room and was awestrucked that we were greeted by the numerous five yens that were glued on the wall, ceiling, floor, all over the room. They also offered 2 five yens in the room with tools for guests to glue them to the wall to add to the artwork. Air-con temperature was nice and moisted, sound proof was well done as can’t hear much when room is facing the street. Room size is bigger than usual, location is about 7-mins walk from city center. Only down side was no bathtub in the room.

Great location
BNA hotel is in a great location – would 100% vouch for its proximity to great food, shopping etc. The hotel itself felt a bit old, and not as comfortable as I would've liked. But I did like that there's a cafe upstairs!

This is an experience that will leave you speechless. Between the hostesses working the front desk and explaining everything so well, with a smile on their face, to the amazing decorated rooms. Don't even get me started on how nice breakfast is/the cafe. This is a must visit. Even for one night.

Great hotel but room was a little in practical especially with 3 suitcases and know where to put them
Great artwork rooms but definantly need more storage options great hotel for. 1 or 2 night stay but any longer I think it would be difficult especially they don’t have laundry facilities and our room only got made up once and were their for 4 days breakfast was ok but definantly prefer a buffet as everything in unlimited and only one coffee or juice was an option but was a great hotel overall just afew minor things compared to the other hotels we have stay at in japan

Art hotel
We loved our room 903, the theme was underwater world and it was fun to sleep in art. The hotel staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast needs to be ordered the day before and was tasty. All in all a really great and unique experience.
