Great hotel in very convenient area of Kyoto, however the beds and 1 pillow provided are very hard, so not very comfortable sleep. A pillowtop on the beds and second softer pillow would be nice. The room and bathroom itself are nice though.

Great location to stay for Kyoto. Multiple options for food close by. Walkable to area attractions and minutes away from the Sanjo Station to take public transit to attractions further away. Staff is friendly and the rooms are comfortable.

Hotel Aru Kyoto was very beautiful, right in the heart of Kyoto. Our room was quite comfortable, though the pillows were a little too firm for my liking, which seems to be a regular occurance in Japan. We got discounted drink tickets for the bar downstairs upon arrival, which was appreciated, and the bar was always quiet and peaceful when we were passing through. The front of house staff also helped us ship our large luggage overnight to Tokyo, which we would recommend taking advantage of if you are visiting with a large bag in tow! My main gripe was that the nearby streets are lined with bars and most nights we were subjected to hearing loud karaoke warbling or drunken shouting from below if we had the windows open at all. The aircon system did not seem to go below 20c, so if the windows were closed it did get a bit stuffy at night. Otherwise it was a lovely hotel, and we would consider staying there again. Thank you!

The price was autumn color leaves season price so it was higher price but the season is delayed this year. I missed autumn color leaves. I felt the price was too expensive because of it. It should be excellent as regular price.

Love the early 20th century style and low key vibe of this hotel! Everything we wanted to see was close by. Popular shopping, eating and drinking areas were within a 5-10 minute walk, but the noise did not follow us back to the hotel. Proximity to the canal was a wonderful amenity.
