Hotel Arashiyama

The location and breakfast were beyond satisfying. The hotel is ideally situated for visiting Arashiyama, and the river view from the window is stunning, with pleasant sounds of the water. During my stay, it rained quite a bit in the early morning, but the soundproofing was so good that I didn't even notice until I opened the window. The sound of the rain and the flowing river was quite loud and surprising when I did. I highly recommend including breakfast; it's better than many high-end restaurants, beautifully presented, and delicious. However, the pickles might be too salty for some; if you prefer less salty food, I'd suggest informing the front desk in advance. The room might feel small, but considering the price and typical room sizes in Japan, it’s not a major issue. The staff are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to assist with any inquiries, not just about the stay but also regarding local facilities and transportation. I felt genuine kindness from all the staff members, making it a wonderful experience.

The hotel was close to the famous Arashiyama bamboo forest, and we enjoyed a magical morning walk there by the river at sunrise. Everything was perfect, with fresh air and a decent room in a superb location. We'd definitely come back if given the chance.

Cosy feel, small apartment-like hotel. Great view of Togetsukyo Bridge from my room window. If you have a bino, you can see Arabica %. Breakfast is local rice set. Loved it. Oishi! The front desk was amn older distinguished gentlemen, very polite and helpful. The staff at breakfast was also very polite and helpful. Thank you for making my stay a very memorable one.

I spent 2 weeks travelling through Japan and this was my favourite place. The room was lovely , great view , spacious and clean. The staff were all polite and friendly. It's on the other side of the river from the hustle and bustle but still has it's own attractions . A little convenience store is a couple of minutes walk and 5 minute walk to great to the main shopping street.

The breakfast come in a set not the buffet style like the business hotel. The meal is excellent. The bedroom is huge and bed is comfy... wish I had stayed there an extra day. There is no onsen... but could walk to the public onsen 3 mins away.
