Enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It is close to Hanyk Arashiyama Station, and short walking distance from the main attractions in the area. Premises seems to be an apartment building turned into a hotel, so has the feeling of a home away from home. Simple, clean and well equipped accomodation.

Our group of 3 loved the clean, spacious rooms and proximity to the Monkey Park and Bamboo forest. The extra space felt like a luxury after many smaller (but more expensive) hotel rooms. The Beautiful pizza restaurant a 5 minute walk from the hotel blew us away. If you like desserts, there are so many places to choose from just a short walk away. The staff were kind and accommodating of us!

Great clean hotel with very friendly staff, ideal location for visiting the arishayama area. Only thing that's a downside is be sure to check the hotels website, some other booking agencies have other photos listed for this hotel that are misleading. The rooms are much smaller than the photos suggest

Hotel was great, and very cheap for the space. It’s not luxurious but very comfortable. Good beds. Mini apartment really with little kitchenette. Staff attentive and had good English. Great location for monkey park (steep climb, be warned). Arashiyama is beautiful. Bamboo forest is pretty close at about 10-15 minutes walk away. Convenience store 300m away, right next to Hankyo railway (Arashiyama station) into Kyoto centre. I recommend Mizuki (very Kyoto-authentic restaurant); it’s a gem.

The room was within walking distance from the bamboo forest and local restaurants. It was hard to find dining at night because some restaurants close early and you have to cross bridge to search for other restaurants. Too many gnats flying around. Gnats were also in the rooms. The staff were really nice and very helpful and patient.
