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.

Problematic location, spacious rooms.

The only issue with this place is it's location. Seriously it's very isolated and difficult to get to. If you are going to be carrying luggage, it would be annoying. We planned ahead and left our luggage at Kyoto's main station, and only brought a smaller travel bag with us to this area because of it's remoteness. The statff was very friendly, the rooms are HUGE compared to most Japanese hotels. We were happy there, but only because it was a short stay.

Room was clean and tidy. Reasonable room size, fridge and bathroom area. Good surprise to have a microwave oven and free coffer 24 hours a day and free bread in the morning (though the free packaged juices were average). The down sides are The safe didn't work (probably no power) and was too small anyway. Our room was at the farthest end of the corridor, quite a long walk. We understand it was due to the shape of the building.

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.

This was a nice hotel. Somewhat difficult to find, though. The attention to guests isn’t great. Left our garbage for them to take and it was still in our room when we returned at the end of the day. They offer free coffee, but ran out of cream and didn’t have any available for 2 days. Strange. Also, no front staff in the morning to ask questions.

We stayed three nights over New Years Eve. While we didn't bring our dog we wished we had! The property has all kinds of amenities for pet owners like a washing srea and free treats. The room itself was like a small apartment complete with a toaster oven, microwave, and fridge. It was spacious! The floor is concrete as are the outside walls, which was good for soundproofing. It was not loud at all. We really enjoyed walking to the bamboo forest and the shops and restaurants. There is a mini mart not too far away. It was a very quiet area surrounded by water and it was very relaxing. Thank you!
