Featured Hotels near Arashiyama, Kyoto

The owner and wife were kind and smiley. It was the first guest house and the first dormitory, but the person in the room also communicated with the translation app and enjoyed it! The room was clean and very cozy! I also missed the game of the Nintendo (laughs) and I played it. I wanted to use it when I went to Arashiyama again. *ˊᵕˋ*

The hotel is a 5 minute (with luggage) walk away from the Saga Arashiyama station. While it is relatively quiet around the hotel itself it is only a 10 minute walk to the main street in Arashiyama. It was very convenient for us to get to the main sights every day. Due to it's great location, we manage to arrive at the bamboo forest by 730am before the huge crowds arrived. We stayed in the annex room and it was wonderful, as it felt like we had a little corner house all to ourselves. The room was clean, comfortable and peaceful. Nespresso coffee was also served in the room. The hotel was also kind enough to leave us a little Japanese souvenir (cloth and coin purse) in the room. If you are looking for a base to explore Arashiyama, we highly recommend this hotel. We would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is a bit business style and the TV in the room is quite small. The hotel comes with swimming pool but you need to pay extra to use the amenities (about $10-20 per person). We felt the locals (taxi driver for example) aren't really welcoming foreigners (English speaking) and might act a bit rude, but besides that, the town is quieter than Osaka and we enjoyed dining at Yakiniku Yaruki - Shijo Kawaramachi (all you can eat BBQ with wagyu beef).

　The first impression of the hotel was clean and calm. The decoration such as the front desk, the room, the corridor is modest, and there is a elegant atmosphere that can feel attentive. The deluxe twin of the 2-way specification is recommended. Bedroom and living room? When you close the door, you can't hear much of the sound of TV and so on in the bedroom. The tired person can lie in the bed first. It is convenient for sightseeing. 15 〜 20 minutes walk to Hirozawa Ike pond and JR Saga Arashiyama Station. We parked a car at the hotel and visited Seiryo Ji Temple and Kano nenbutsu Ji Temple, Gion Ji Temple and Nison in temple on foot. Near Saga Arashiyama, the car cannot move due to traffic jam. Parking is also full. There is a rental cycle in the hotel. The staff is also helpful.

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo is overall an excellent hotel and I recommend it for those visiting Kyoto. +: Though it might look slighted old from the outside, the interior is well furnished and clean. The rooms are modern and clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating, managed to speak decent English. We also got a free upgrade to a slightly bigger room. The room has all the basic amenities as required by travellers. Bed was comfortable. Location was good, about 5 minutes from Kyoto main station. There is also a Aeon Mall right beside the hotel. -: There is no gym or swimming pool for this hotel Unable to comment on: Breakfast is unknown as it was not included in our stay.

This was by far the best accommodation we stayed in during our trip to Japan. I was a bit hesitant to book it as other reviews said it’s far away from everything, but it’s not. A short/cheap taxi from the train station (1000-1200 Yen) self-serve check in and self-serve luggage storage (which was a blessing!) We stayed in an apartment, spacious, modern, clean, separate bedroom, washer/dryer, bath and shower and full kitchen. I would live in this apartment if I could! There are staff in the reception area during certain times if you need help. The bus stop is right around the corner. Food options nearby.

Location is great. Walking distance to places we visited as well as the Subways and bus stops. Room is clean and fontdesk personnel were helpful. Can leave luggages after checkout time. They have two coin operated laundry machines that you can use.

We chose this hotel due to itsʻ location and it exceeded our expectations! The hotel staff was helpful and provided information in Japanese and English. We stayed for 13 days and were impressed with the hotelʻs determination to provide us with clean rooms, towels and other items. This hotelʻs location at Shijo/Karasuma made it easy to get to train stations, bus and the subway. There were also many excellent restaurants and shopping possibilities. One of the features we appreciated a lot was the laundry. We also appreciated that it was quiet.. didnʻt even hear people in the halls or doors close. Having lived in Kyoto for a long time, this was our first time to stay in a hotel and would recommend it for sure.

Located along Karasuma-dori, the area is perfect for sightseeing in Kyoto, with easy access to Kyoto Gyoen National Garden and Nijo Castle. There are also delicious restaurants nearby, which makes me happy as a foodie. “The design concept is 90LDK, a hotel like a single house”. The hotel itself can be used in many different ways, just like your own home. There are comfortable chairs at the entrance, and there is a bright and stylish restaurant in the basement. It seems that the breakfast buffet is made with domestic ingredients. There is also a coin laundry, so it is convenient for those who stay here for a long time. I stayed alone, so it was a standard twin. It seems that it is a room with a modern Japanese style design, and an original bed has been introduced. Although it is casual, it is also helpful to have a place where you can sit comfortably and work. The rooms are equipped with standard items such as refrigerators, pots and cups. This is a shower, not a bathtub. Some rooms have a bathtub. Pola's amenities are installed. The toilet and washbasin are integrated, so you can use them comfortably. Although it is a minimum, it is spacious, so you can relax without feeling cramped. It was a convenient and affordable hotel that was easy to use for short trips like me, for workcations, and for long stays.

Use on JR Tokai tour. So I don't know the price of １ nights, but it is used at the price of the shock of 22000 yen from Tokyo to the Shinkansen ２ night. Since Kyoto has the top level in the country, it is probably necessary to win the simple business hotel at the low rate of selection at the price of the inbound zero. It was the first unizo, but the first thing to note is ”clean linen”. Anyway, everything is clean and beautiful. Everything is very comfortable from the entrance as a space with the shallow construction. The room is small with 14 square meters, but it is larger than the APA, and the room with heavy color use is not bad because it is not seen in a light touch room with a thin color like Toyoko inn. It was a pity that the bathtub was small, but it was prepared to the original amenities and bath salts, and this was also a good impression. What was more surprising was the quality of towels, and there were many thin bath towels in business hotels, but it was quite good here. Wifi is comfortable, and various portable charging adapters are also available, and coffee and tea are also provided firmly. The only regret is that the restaurant of １ F is ”Matsuya”, so breakfast becomes Matsuya's regular meal. This is a pity. I didn't want to eat, so I made a plan without it. If this is a quality vegetable center buffet, it is 100 points without complaint. . . I thought. I don't know what price it will be after the corona, but at this time there is no complaint if you stay overnight. I think I will use it again.
