Comfortable in great position
Fabulous position, easy to see sites of Kyoto. It is very noisy at night, it’s on a laneway with lots of bars and windows aren’t sound proof.

I was very impressed with not only the hotel staff who were extremely helpful but the hotel itself. It was very clean & my room was pretty spacious for Japanese hotels and very comfortable. Pretty large bathroom & a great shower. Most importantly it was extremely convenient to all the great shopping, Nishi Market, great restaurants & the Gion area. I highly recommend this hotel.

A great choice in Kyoto
Super friendly and helpful staff. Great location for public transport, shopping and nightlife. The breakfast buffet was great, the hotel bar was a quiet refuge from the busier bars in the area. Their unlimited wine for an hour for 1000 yen was hard to refuse.

Had a great stay at this hotel. It’s stylish and clean and in a great area. Upper patio with a great view was a nice touch. Vending machines on the second floor but I didn’t check it out as there is a 24 hour Lawson around the corner. Any toiletries we forgot and then some were available in the lobby for free. Staff were pleasant and could speak English. Thanks for a great stay.

Hotel ARU Kyoto was a great place to stay on our first visit to Kyoto. It was close to many attractions yet the room was sound proof and spacious. The decor was an interesting mix of traditional and modern offering all the mod-cons a western traveller could need. Highly recommended.
