Ryotei Rangetsu

My two night stay here was an amazing experience, the staff were incredible, the service was impeccable, and the food was simply delicious.

The facility, gardens, service, people and food exceeded our expectations. We experienced authentic Japanese culture at its finiest in a beautiful and quiet setting. The service was impeccable, and the staff was well mannered, friendly, and helpful. We would have absolutely no hesitation recommending this hotel to all visitors and especially to those who desire to immerse themselves in authentic Japanese food and culture.

Talk about being pampered...Ryotei Rangetsu takes pampering to a whole different level! We have never experienced that level of service or more attention to detail anywhere else. Additionally, their meals were beyond heavenly. You will not be disappointed.

Staff r all very friendly and welcoming, room was tidy and very clean, onsen was fantastic, both breakfast and dinner are well prepared and enjoyed the stay very much

strong wood smell, staff's english is limited but very nice. public on sen is small.

Welcome by lovely staff who really cares for you, we had a wonderful stay in this Ryokan, very well located and close to many places of high interest. Take a deep breath, and enjoy your stay! I will definitely go back when I go back to Kyoto.

Excellent hotel, clean, large rooms, very artfully arranged, fresh flowers. Staff will bend over backwards for you. Delicious breakfast. There was a strange noise coming from the wall in the morning, only negative.

Superb service and outstanding food quality that I had experienced two days ago, it was way beyond our expectation in light of customer-focused service, seasonal food quality and historical location. For instance, we were assigned with a lady butler to serve in-room dinner and breakfast, prepare our beds after dinner and arrange bath before our arrival. The hotel manager and the lady butler helped us to call taxi and also waited at the hotel entrance for farewell until our taxi left the premise. This room is also facilitated with private bathroom and external bath, it was really special to us though we didn't try the external bath during our stay coz it was around 7 degree there. In addition, the maximum privacy can also be offered as I barely met other guests around. Finally, there are many tourist attractions such as bamboo forrest around this hotel within 10-15 min walk, it is definitely an excellent ryokan hotel for couples and families.

Excellent little hotel - very clean and comfortable. Extremely friendly staff and superd customer service. Food is excellent as well.

Was an amazing first experience at a ryokan. Very traditional feels but the staff, food, and room made you feel like a noble being well taken cared of and formal. Be warned that the formality may not work out for everyone and is best for customers that can fully respect that. No loud noises. Children must be respectful as this is a quiet inn. Meals are scheduled and must be on time as staff take great care of preparing your meals in dazzling trays and service. DO NOT MISS BREAKFAST, it was the BEST part of our trip in Kyoto. You CANNOT find any traditional service with such great quality as you would see "complimentary" with your stay!!! The dinner service I feel may have been prepared by a different chef, the taste and care was leagues below the breakfast offering. It's also expensive and 9 courses, it was difficult to finish because the tastes were very different to Western palettes. Futon style beds were surprisingly comfortable and onsen was a treat. Location is far from Kyoto central which is a wonderful place to visit for sight seeing and nightlife. Super safe to walk at night. Arashiyama is a very quite "suburban" neighborhood that closes fairly early (6PM wind down) that makes it great for locals but disappointing for tourists who want to make the most of their trip. But during the day it's a great place with food and Bamboo Forest as well as several sight seeing points walking distance away.
