Independent, Arashiyama hotels

"Location is great, I love the canal view and walking the tiny streets while being close to the shopping streets and large department stores. Surrounded by restaurants and bars. No laundry machines on premises but just around the corner on the second floor of a net cafe is a laundromat (can get crowded, I think your best bet is going during the day instead of late night)."

"Great location and beautiful hotel, staff and service very helpful with English speaking staff to help with communication. Roof top deck is very nice though it was hot good place for a beer. Fitness room and laundry services. Close to the main attractions in the Gion district so easy to wake up and head on over. Highly recommend staying here if you are in Kyoto. "

"Great location with easy access to different parts of the city , staff were really friendly and helpful. Would recommend this hotel for anyone planning on staying in the area"

"I loved the closeness to the train station and the staff were phenomenal!"

" This hotel quickly became one of my favorite places to stay! I wish we had more time to enjoy it fully. The hotel offered a variety of on-site amenities, and the building itself housed shopping and dining options. They even provided coupons for some of the dining establishments within the building, which was a nice touch. The restaurant we dined at was fantastic—the food was excellent, and it was conveniently located just downstairs. The hotel's location was ideal; it’s within a 5-minute walk to the station for the local line, making it very easy to get around the city. There was also a park and an aquarium nearby, providing great options for sightseeing and outdoor activities. Access to all the locations we wanted to visit was incredibly easy, thanks to the close proximity of bus and subway lines. The pajamas they provided were so comfortable, making the stay even more enjoyable. The only downside was the laundry facility—there were only four washing machines, and unfortunately, one was out of order. However, there was a coin laundry just an 8-minute walk away, so it wasn't too inconvenient. Overall, this hotel was a beautiful place to stay and truly one of my favorites. I would definitely love to return!"

"We stayed at this hotel in both Kyoto & Osaka. Both have onsens but these felt superior. The massage chairs were also a great boost to what they offer and staff was great and helpful. At a great location and a place I would absolutely return to when back in Kyoto. Can be a bit busy during peak hours but still find times to take advantage of amenities. "

"Everything in this property is great. We had an amazing stay."
