Highly recommended family-friendly room

It was a pleasant stay; cleverly designed room to give a blend of English and Japanese styles with ample of space to roam for family of 4. Although location is further away from the tourist attractions, the hotel’s room was beautiful and very well-kept. Staffs were kind and genuinely welcoming (even hand-written welcome and goodbye cards!). My 2 young sons asked why did we only stay for 1 night when we were checking out.

The room was very large, comfortable and clean, with two king size beds and sitting, cooking area. Friendly staff. Breakfast was included in restaurant downstairs but there weren't many options. About a ten minute easy walk to all the sites and train station.

Greeted very kindly and helped to our spacious room which we were so happily able to get into an hour early. This was our fifth hotel in the Kansai area and it was a treat to be able to experience more of an apartment type feel and have so much space to spread out. Loved the bed and down comforter after a long day of walking! It was great to have access to water and a coffee machine in the lobby. Breakfast was very good although my husband and I thought the waffles were too dense and sweet…tasted more like a dessert. The location was within 10-20 minutes walking distance to all the major sites in Arashiyama and your luggage can be held until 4pm after your checkout. It took care of one more thing we would have to think about in order to better enjoy our trip. The only comment I would make is to check all the doors/gate hinges for excessive squeaking. I felt bad whenever we had to open certain ones because they were so loud especially very early in the morning. Otherwise we’re glad we stayed here and appreciated the sincerity of the staff.

The hotel provides such a great service from the day we check-in until the day we check-out. We loved the personal touch that the staffs showed throughout our stay. This is a great hotel to stay when you want to rest. The rooftop is a great addition as you can see the stars when the sky is clear. It's also a perfect base if you want to explore Arashiyama area early in the morning.
