What a wonderful hotel! The man at reception was very kind and welcoming. The room was well appointed. The breakfast was AMAZING. A wonderful experience. This hotel is convenient for the train station and the bamboo garden.

Comfortable, clean, small hotel, fabulous staff.
Comfortable small hotel that proves excellent access to Arashiyama, and there are two subway stations not far away. Ask for a room away from the street. The kind and thorough staff were a delight, and responded quickly when I needed something. The breakfast was excellent, with very fine coffee.

The room was excellent. It’s super clean with a modern minimalistic feel. The hotel lobby is a cozy cafe that you can chill out all day on the nice sofa. Will certainly come back again if I’m visiting this beautiful Arashiyama area.

Yado Arashiyama is a great hotel to stay at in Kyoto. The rooms are nice, clean, and have comfortable beds. The staff are very friendly and make every effort to ensure you have a comfortable stay. The hotel also has a cafe that serves good food and is a fantastic spot to hang out. The location is the best, it puts you in close walking distance of the bamboo grove, shrines, temples, and shops along the river. I make frequent trips to Japan and I always stay at the Yado. I highly recommend Yado Arashiyama.

The location was amazing. Close enough to walk everywhere but far enough that the area was quiet. The bedding had small black dots on it which wasn't appealing, but otherwise great hotel!

Everything about this property is great, except for one thing: The window shutters do not block the sun light at all. We anticipated this so we forced ourselves to sleep early so that we won't be bothered with the sun rise.

A super hip contemporary hotel in the midst of one of the worlds most beautifuly wild and ancient locations. Perhaps an Onsen would have been the cherry on top for amenities but the cafe bar pretty much made up for it with a fine selections of local and international drinks and cuisine.
Fab start to our Kyoto stay within a stones throw from the river cruise doc or 10 mins from the local train station or a slightly longer (15 or so) to the main JR station if your using a rail pass

Fantastic stay at the YADO hotel. It is a quiet walk from the train station, but it is near the Arashiyama bamboo forest. The area is very popular and packed during the afternoon, but at night it is very very quiet. The mattress was a bit low, but very comfortable. Great amenities through out the hotel. Free drink coupon can be used for coffee or alcohol at certain times! It was a very clean and pleasant stay, and would recommend anyone that wants to stay near the Arashiyama area.
