Kyoto Hotel Guide - Araki Shrine hotels in Kyoto, Japan.

"Decent rooms and spas & laundry available on the 2nd floor."

"Great"

"Incredible Japanese style hotel with western rooms. "

"Great location right by Kyoto station. The hotel does need to review it's name as they have another hotel nearby with a very similar name. The room was clean and had everything we needed for our stay."

"Wonderful hotel with so many useful amenities. The in house bakery was fun. We made use of the laundry and fitness room. Great location close to a number of temples. Nice sized room and very clean. Despite all the hustle and bustle we never were disturbed by any noise inside the room. "

"variety of breakfast food"

"All good"

"Everything went really well. The kiosk that they want you to check in at, you have to pay a tax and it didn’t take my debit card for some reason. You needed a card with a PIN. We tried 3 different people on our party, and none of our cards worked. So we were scrambling trying to find the tax money in yen. It wasn’t expensive, I just wasn’t prepared for it. I hadn’t gone to an ATM to get more yen."

"This property was recommended by a local friend as this was my 2nd Kyoto visit within 2yrs. Incredibly convenient location & a few mins walk to Kyoto Station. Many convenience store & small restaurants in the immediate area as we tried a small local izakaya pub late at night after a late arrival around 9pm. It is an incredible value as we researched & reserved the room from Hawaii, & paid at the property. Only 1 concerns & recommendations for the hotel management team: Install a Master DIMMER switch on the wall by the room entrance door! If one PULLS OUT the room key which is necessary to activate all the lights in the room, everything will go 100% dark. So if you are a senior citizen, a “night light” or a master dimmer will allow you reduce the overall level of brightness in the room. Again it is ALL on & remove the room key from the lighting master key slot, everything will go totally DARK…This recommendation should be researched. Perhaps maybe even include a portable plug-in “night light” in the respective rooms as a thoughtful option for SENIORS who wake up in the middle of the night to use the toilet WITHOUT blazing ALL the light in every area of the room. I’m convinced that this will incur a minor cost, but will pay off dividends in spades, as a very small addition to making this property & the respective rooms a bit more user friendly & accommodating to senior travelers.. Thank you! RG from Hawaii. “ {.*"
