"First time try this ossen hotel. But have a good experience..love it..service excellent. Since typhoon we arrived 330am, the staff still waiting us to check in. Many thanks. Food breakfast and dinner very good. Surrounding and room are clean.. . Will come back again. Thanks again!"

"The room is quite spacious and there is washing machine with detergent inside the room in the shower area which is a plus. There is also heater in the kitchen which can be used to dry your clothes. Room is also clean and have the basic amenities such as toothbrush, razor, comb, etc. The only cons is that the staff might be away at the reception during lunch hour and there is no one there to guide you to check in. Will be good if there is at least 1 staff there at the counter on rotate. Highly recommended to stay here as it is quiet, clean, and near the subway/bus stop to tourist attraction."

"A superb hotel located very close to Kyoto Station. The staff is extremely polite and professional, providing excellent service. Luggage storage is available both before check-in and after check-out, which is very convenient. The all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet is outstanding and truly worthy of a 5-star palace. The room was very spacious with a beautiful view over Kyoto city. The room is fully equipped with everything you need: green tea and coffee facilities, refrigerator, TV, hair dryer, as well as daily amenities such as toothbrush, toothpaste, body sponge, body wash, hand soap, shampoo and conditioner. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel."

"Stayed at The GrandWest Arashiyama and had a pleasant experience. The room is spacious and looks exactly like the photos on Trip and Google. The building feels more like a small apartment house, giving it a homely vibe. Towels are changed daily — they are on the thinner side but still usable. There is **no elevator**, and the staircase is quite narrow. We were lucky to have only one medium and one small luggage, and we sent our big suitcases to the next hotel. If not, carrying them up to level 3 would have been tough. There is a laundry room available from 9am to 9pm. If you return after 10pm, you can enter the building with your room key. Sometimes the hotel offers a morning tour (1,200 yen per person), where their staff brings you around nearby spots. It’s a 40-minute tour (7:00–7:40am or 8:00–8:40am), but not always available. I didn’t join due to a tight itinerary. The location is convenient — just a few minutes’ walk to Lawson, Mini Stop, and Hankyu station. It’s in a quiet residential area, so nights are peaceful. Beds are comfortable, and the bathroom layout is practical, with the toilet and shower separated by the basin area. Overall, a nice and comfortable place to stay in Arashiyama."

"After consideration I decided to stay in this hotel. The hotel is located few minutes walk from station. Very nice design and well equipped. Best part of this hotel is the public bath, you will love it! My room is clean and bed is comfort. The restroom design is good with separated toilet and bath. If I visit Kyoto I would definitely stay here again!"

"the location still a bit far from kyoto station if you have to dragging the luggage. but the price was cheap with a super nice service from the hotel and the staffs! the view is amazing. you can also get a free coffee and matcha from the kitchen area"

"The hotel is located next to Saga-Arashiyama station, very convenient for transportation. It is close to various tourist spots in the Arashiyama area. There are restaurants and cafes nearby. You can wake up early and walk to Arashiyama bamboo forest before the crowds come. The hotel is quite old. The room has complete facilities, except for the bathroom, which must be used in the public bathroom. The toilet in the room has a slightly bad smell, like it is not very clean."

"A spacious boutique hotel with high ceilings, I stayed in a twin room with a view with of the river and bridge. The room was clean and comfortable, bathroom (to be expected) was compact but efficient! Room facilities were clean and air con was appreciated after a long hot day. They also have a microwave and utensils for any food you pick up from outside. A side note but nothing to do with hotel, most local causal restaurants close early, last orders at 6:30pm. The hotel is close to subway lines (depending which station you’re arriving at). It took me 15 minutes to walk from the station (it was the one furthest away, taking you past all the local town restaurants and shops. Getting up early for a morning stroll to the major sites and temples made it easy. Presented with a discount coupon for the neighbourhood onsen, 2 minutes walk from the hotel is a must! Highly recommended."

"A little fit far away from Kyoto station but it's not a problem because you have a bus station near the hotel. This hotel is located in a really calm place without noisy tourists. The room looks like a flat. Really comfortable. P.S.: Starbucks is located on the corner"

"Hotel is in exciting location for living and walking around. Fabulous river. Cozy hotel. A little bit retro but stylish. Friendly staff. Very quiet and cleam room. Everyday cleaning was excellent. Interesting Japanese breakfast. Tasty strong coffee. Matres and pillow were too hard for me."
