The Kyoto Ranzan is a fantastic place to stay in Arashiyama. It is tucked away from the tourist buzz but just next to the river, the Arashiyama park, the Tenryu-ji temple, the bamboo grove and the monkey park. The room was pleasant and had everything that you need. The food was varied, elegant and delectable. The bath was a pleasure. Very helpful staff as well. Highly recommended

Lovely hotel in the heart of Arashiyama with spectacular views and peaceful surroundings. Its a few minutes walk away from the local lines and around 10 minutes from the JR line, both which take about 20 minutes to get to Kyoto. I would definitely recommend this place if you want a break away from the busy atmosphere in the main cities

The hotel was in a good location and within walking distance of the Arashiyama main street and the Bumboo forest. The Japanese courtyard was clean and maintained. Japanese maples would be so beautiful in Autumn. All the staff are helpful and kind.

Very nice location
If you plan on walking around Arashiyama this is a good place to stay. Location is excellent to see the back streets. The staff are very polite. No complaints about this hotel. Japanese bath house is available if you are interested in that, They provide bathrobes and Kimonos. Room is small but clean. I am very pleased with my choice to stay here.

Good but a bit expensive
We booked this hotel because of its close proximity to the bamboo forest and our desire to see it at dawn. The hotel is very quiet and peaceful but it is relatively expensive for the experience. We had a western style room and it was the largest of any we’ve had in Japan. Our view outside was quite lovely. The town is mostly for day trippers from Kyoto. As a result the village shuts down around 6:30. We had great difficulty finding a place to eat dinner. A highlight, however, was experiencing the kimono forest at night. It was quite magical.

Gem at Arashiyama
Its a gem right at Arashiyama, at night you get to see the beautiful lights from the bridge and at day is so close by the main places you need to visit/eat at Arashiyama. Room are not so spacious, and facilities are not of a high rate hotel, think of it as a modern higher class inn/ryokans, must try the breakfast, tofu and light Kaiseki cuisine. Free parking a bonus

Great retreat in an attractive spot
I wanted a couple of days away from the big city hustle and bustle, and this hotel provided a very tranquil "ryokan style" retreat, but very close to Arashiyama's scenic spots. It was exactly what I was looking for.

Nice stay in Arashiyama
I've previously stated near Kyoto Station on recent visits to Kyoto but always liked the area around Arashiyama so I decided to stay there this time. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hotel as some of the other reviews weren't too good. It's not the most convenient location to either rail stations but if you like strolling through the bamboo forest, along the river or on the temple grounds it can't be beat, especially at the price. Staff was helpful getting me a taxi on a rainy day and spoke enough English for my needs. The room was large by Japan standards, more like a western style motel. I would definitely return.
