Nikko Arashiyama hotels

"Useful free bus shuttle to station. Staff very courteous. Handy for station but perhaps a little too far from downtown Kyoto. Didn’t use pool as there was a substantial charge per person per session. Would have expected guest use for free. "

"The room we had was so spacious, modern, and just what we needed after traveling down from Tokyo. The shower is separated from the toilet which is nice. The onsen felt like a luxury spa walking in. Laundry machines wash and dry at the same time. This hotel is extremely walking to the fish/shopping market. My partner and I got coffees from the hotel cafe/bar and it was delicious! Since most places don’t open til 10 am, we had breakfast once at the hotel. We recommend the English breakfast. Light breakfast and feels healthy too! The staff were always welcoming and helpful, we appreciate their kindness and hospitality."

"Had a great experience"

"Great place. Easy to get around the city from the hotel. 1st class service a throw back to the grand hotels of the past."

"This hotel is huge, and a nightmare because of all the tourist groups and their million suitcases that crowd the lobby. There are warning about "congestion at breakfast", so i had my coffee somewhere else .. The location was not very convenient, it's only good if your train arrives on that side of the station. Otherwise it is a long long walk just to get to any bus or subway. The staff was incredibly helpful and did the best they could given the horrifying tour groups crowd. Rooms are small but ok. No public baths. It is a 3 star hotel, not 4"

"The hotel is 3 min walk from Kyoto Station and 5 min walk from Aeon mall. It's clean and well maintained. The room is a bit small, but cosy. Bathroom is clean and has separate amenities. Free drinks and sweets are provided. The staff is very friendly, polite and helpful. We enjoyed our stay."

"Wonderful staff , delicious breakfast ,great snack area , and good work out room! "

"Nice stay. Location in a great spot to see all of the sites and the room was good size. Super nice staff and the breakfast was really good. Definitely would stay there again. "
