Hotel Aru Kyoto Sanjo Kiyamachi Do-ri

beautifully presented rooms with huge comfy beds - and two pillows. the room was a little on the small side, but we could book a larger room. fantastic free tea selection. didn’t book in the breakfast. bathroom was very spacious and lovely. the staff were very helpful and the hotel is perfectly placed in the city centre at the top of Pontocho St but in a little quiet corner. we booked far enough in advance that the hotel was very well priced.

I stayed at Aru hotel for 5 days with my husband. We had an amazing time. Impeccable clean and spacious rooms, the view from the twin room was spectacular. Free coffee, premium tea and detox water in the lobby. The staff was super nice. Wonderful experience, we can only dream about this type of room and service at this price tag in Europe… Location was a 10. Bus stop was a minute walk and you can also walk to many beautiful sights in Kyoto. Very lively area with lots of restaurants and bars. Wonderful scenery. I hope I will be back to Japan, Kyoto and this hotel. Thank you.

The hotel was clean, comfortable and in a great location. My room was well appointed and an average size for Japan standards. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a good value for the price.

fantastic location, rooms and hotel were very clean, spacious for japan, nice bathroom amenities. would return to the location if visiting again. we had friends staying downtown that were loving this area too

The location was excellent, within walking distance to fantastic attractions. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful.
