HOTEL ARU KYOTO

Very clean and well located, very friendly staff, close to the metro and restaurants. Excellent price-quality!

Great stay and very friendly staff. Room was a bit small but very well appointed. Breakfast was superb and location wonderful

Hotel Aru Kyoto was very beautiful, right in the heart of Kyoto. Our room was quite comfortable, though the pillows were a little too firm for my liking, which seems to be a regular occurance in Japan. We got discounted drink tickets for the bar downstairs upon arrival, which was appreciated, and the bar was always quiet and peaceful when we were passing through. The front of house staff also helped us ship our large luggage overnight to Tokyo, which we would recommend taking advantage of if you are visiting with a large bag in tow! My main gripe was that the nearby streets are lined with bars and most nights we were subjected to hearing loud karaoke warbling or drunken shouting from below if we had the windows open at all. The aircon system did not seem to go below 20c, so if the windows were closed it did get a bit stuffy at night. Otherwise it was a lovely hotel, and we would consider staying there again. Thank you!

Great place to stay in Kyoto! Near Sanjo station that takes you to Osaka.

The price was autumn color leaves season price so it was higher price but the season is delayed this year. I missed autumn color leaves. I felt the price was too expensive because of it. It should be excellent as regular price.

Love the early 20th century style and low key vibe of this hotel! Everything we wanted to see was close by. Popular shopping, eating and drinking areas were within a 5-10 minute walk, but the noise did not follow us back to the hotel. Proximity to the canal was a wonderful amenity.

Small room with very limited amenities. Poor soundproofing with outside noise all night.

Honestly the place is perfectly placed near hot spots for shopping, restaurants and Jazz but also romantic evening river walks - staff very lovely particularly the breakfast lady and a couple of the young lads were so polite and efficient /the stained glass windows nice look and our first room ( yes extended stay on 6th floor perfect view, water and bathroom stuff all free x great pjs - near by best noodles at Omen and Gyzo opposite, coffee barista world class on the bridge at the corner and Hello Dolly Jazz

Great location, a bit noisy at night, laneway with restaurants and bars right outside. Bed and pillows hard. Very well worn not sure I’d stay again.

This was our favourite hotel during our 2 week Japanese holiday. Excellent location, spacious and so convenient to bus and trains.
