They overbooked so I ended up upgrading for a fee that Trip.com compensated. The place is very small but beautifully decorated, very clean, perfect location to explore the overrated Bamboo Forest, many temples around and the MOnkey Forest. The staff is friendly and the coffee machine is beautiful. The private room is cozy but the mattress was terrible. I did not sleep at all. It is far from the rest of the attractions in Kyoto.

For me it was the best hostel yet! They let you use the washing machine and dryer for free. The rooms and places to place your belongings are big enough. I was really pleased.

The owner is kind and the facilities are very clean. The bathroom, sink, and shower are conveniently located. However, the stairs to the 2nd and 3rd floors are a bit steep and narrow. Please note this if you are carrying a carrier. Bath towels, face towels, toothbrushes, and toothbrush cups are provided. There is also a 2,000 won coupon for a nearby hot spring bathhouse, so be sure to get it and go! There is a Ministop 5 minutes away on foot, and you can also rent a bike!

The boss is friendly and enthusiastic. He can speak Chinese. Although the room is a bit small, the bed is very big. There is storage space next to the extra wide single bed. The bed is also a new memory mattress. The experience is very good. Although the public space is a bit small, the overall wooden style is very warm. When I return to the hotel in the cold weather in late autumn, I really feel like I am warm and at home. The cooperative hot spring bath is also very good. There is an outdoor spring where you can relax. The location is only five minutes away from Arashiyama Street but it perfectly avoids the crowds. The main station - Hankyu Arashiyama, you don't need to transfer from Osaka and there are few people. To be honest, except for the desolate Arashiyama area at night, it is very suitable for traveling alone or staying with two or three people.

Completely not worth it, I booked a family room for three people, booked the room has 19-25 square feet, check-in only 10 square meters or less, the room does not have any facilities, no elevator to move your own luggage to the third floor, book There was a hot spring ♨️, but it turned out that you had to go to the public hot spring outside the street at your own expense. After checking in, there was no staff in the museum. If an accident really can not imagine, around the restaurants turned out to close at 18:30, I have emailed to explain that the meeting before 19:00, and did not state too late to check in, the surrounding shops will be closed, we went to the convenience store dinner that night, This guesthouse is actually just a bed and breakfast, the facilities are 10 points shabby, definitely not worth the price I paid

The hotel was booked on the way from Osaka. I didn't expect the environment to be much better than expected. The staff was very friendly (and could speak Chinese!) and gave me a map of the surrounding restaurants and a tourist map of Arashiyama. And the luggage can be stored for free for 24 hours after check-out, which was really touching😭 It takes three minutes to get to the subway station, and it is also very close to Togetsukyo Bridge. It takes about five minutes to walk to the scenic area. There is also a Yusai Pavilion similar to Rurikoin. It will be more beautiful when the maple leaves are in season. There are free coffee machines and microwaves in the public space of the hotel. You can sit and read comic books and TV. In addition, Halloween decorations have also appeared. There will be piano music in the public space. It is very comfortable to sit and drink tea and coffee. Although I only stayed in three hotels during this trip to Kansai, this hotel is the most satisfactory one. I feel very warm when traveling alone. If I come to Arashiyama again, I will choose Mulan Hotel!
