Suiran, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto
4.8/562 Reviews
Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao
My wife’s birthday trip at the Suiran was a dream come true. With successive Covid cancellations, it took us four years of planning, but it was worth the wait. With their traditional Japanese structures and landscaping, the Suiran was our oasis of calm during Kyoto’s busiest season (cherry blossoms). We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and the best breakfasts of our lives in their dining room, and blissful riverside happy hours in their cafe. Our comfortable room had all the amenities, and a soothing minimalist aesthetic. The Suiran staff is spectacular: thoughtful, gracious, attentive. Through our years of planning and days of enjoyment, we were guided by Suiran’s chief concierge, Hiromi Maruyama. Her kindness, patience, and expertise added greatly to the success of our time in Kyoto. Her suggestions and insights, and good spirits were a beacon shining our way. We are indebted to her for her efforts on our behalf.
Takao Kanko Hotel
4.6/534 Reviews
Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao
The hotel is located in Kaohsiung, the western part of Kyoto City. The transportation is very convenient. You can take the municipal bus No. 8 directly to Kaohsiung (terminal) in the city. Attention! City No. 8 is a long-distance bus that runs every hour. Google Maps is excellent for navigation, because Google will display the bus arrival time, which is very accurate. After getting off the bus, you can call the hotel. The boss will drive you to the hotel. If you walk to the hotel, there is a way down the mountain. It is not easy to walk with large luggage. Everyone who enters the hotel is very enthusiastic and has no strangeness at all. The boss can speak English and communication is no problem. Dinner is usually booked in the hotel, because there are no restaurants around, there will be no tourists around 4:30. The hotel is very quiet around, and I personally think that you can experience authentic Japanese cuisine, which is delicious and not too expensive. The rooms are pure Japanese style, spacious and comfortable. There is a hot spring on the second floor. You can take a bath in the morning and evening, because the hotel does not have a few rooms, and it is very quiet. This is my favorite. When I checked in, the boss gave a guide map of the surrounding attractions, which was of great help to me. The surrounding attractions, Jingoji Temple, are within easy reach. Behind the hotel is the mountain road leading to Jingoji Temple. The fare is 600 yen. Nishikyo Temple is 5 minutes away. The fare is 500 yen. Takayama Temple is about 15 minutes away. The price is 800 yen. It is recommended to stay for two nights, so that you will not be very tired. I want to recommend it to my friends. I found a hiking route ~ Donghai Nature Trail. Walking in is like a paradise. Natural oxygen bar. See you on the road. Everyone in will greet politely. The hotel booked this time is really unforgettable. The hotel owner was not there when we left, but we sent a car to the Saga Arashiyama JR line. It was so touching. Finally, I would like to thank all the hotel staff for their warm reception. .
Momijiya Annex
4.5/512 Reviews
Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao
Arranging family travel, especially with elderly parents as the focus, as long as ”stay well, eat well, and enjoy the scenery” is almost complete; Japan's hot spring hotel with one bed and two meals can save a lot of trouble, which is really a good choice! Thanks to Momijiya Annex in Kaohsiung, Kyoto, for helping me hit a home run. Dad keeps saying he is ”so happy”. And when I live here, I find that the most beautiful maple leaves in Kaohsiung is better than a shrine in the hotel, and you can enjoy the maple outdoors in the soup, with exquisite meals, and a very suitable chat environment. It is really an ideal family travel Accommodation. We have good memories here and recommend it to everyone!
Kyoto Utano Youth Hostel
4.2/522 Reviews
Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao
Been here once in 2015 during my solo trip. After staying here , I feel that I must bring my family here someday. And I did! My family of 5, 2 A and 3C aged 13,10&9 stayed in the Japanese style room from 09-11 June. It's off peak timing so not many ppl are staying here. We get to enjoy the peace and quiet. What's good abt this hostel ? Cleanliness is at its best. The shared bathroom, toilets areas are in top notch cleanliness. You can't find in other youth hostel. The communal onsen area is well maintained and clean. Everyone who use the area has the responsibility to keep it clean and tidy. And am glad that everyone is doing it well. Everyday between 10am to 3pm, u cannot stay in your room as the staff has to clean your room. Common area: kitchen and living area is shared and very cosy place for us to hang around. U can rent games like Uno, jenga from the front desk for free to play with your family. There is also an outdoor balcony area where u can just sit there and enjoy the breeze. The whole compound is at a residential area. So it's serene , peaceful and quiet. A very zen place. I was originally afraid that my kids who are city kids would be bored here... But they actually loved it. Especially making their own cup noodles dinner at the kitchen. There is no TV at the room we stayed , so we went to the kitchen area to watch TV and snack. Like all other YHA, u will be given bedsheets and pillowcase to make your bed and have to return them back to the front desk upon check out. The nearest JR station is abt 5-7mins drive away. It's so nice to come back again.
Hotel Binario Saga Arashiyama
4.2/529 Reviews
Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao
The location is perfect in front of Saga Station on the trolley train. I walk a little to Togetsu Bridge, but there are bamboo forests, Tenryuji Temple, and various shops along the way, so it's not boring. The front desk was very friendly and the facilities and services were good. The morning and evening meals are tailored at the restaurant immediately after leaving the entrance. There was a little more ... due to the response of the waiter, but it was generally good. It was very good to be willing to use the parking lot even after checking out.
Kyoto My Pension
4.3/517 Reviews
Arashiyama/Sagano/Takao
The location is a little far away, but there is a bus stop to Kyoto Station. It takes 12 minutes to walk to Saiin Station to Osaka. You don’t have to go to Kyoto Station. A room for one person is better than a bed, and it is very quiet. The counter is not open 24 hours a day. Yes, but they will ask you what time they will arrive and wait for you! The room has air conditioning and heating, and at this price, you can’t be picky during the maple leaf and cherry blossom seasons.
