Guesthouse Kyoto Arashiyama

“Quiet, nice and excellent stay for those who enjoy a comfy, traditional stay in Kyoto.”

We had a great time at Guest House Arashiyama, run by a lovely elderly couple who still speak English. They kept the place traditional and well maintained, which I appreciated. The guest house is ideal for two people and a small child. Nearby, a post office ATM offered good exchange rates, a large supermarket stocked fresh foods, and local shops served tasty meals, like a very nice udon shop with great prices. Highlights include comfy futon beds on tatami, tea, coffee, and a small fridge for snacks, a decent Japanese-style bath, a shared little garden with the owner that I liked, free wash machines, and a TV and AC that work well—just watch the AC vent above the futon if you don’t mind the heat. The only drawback was that the toilet lacks a modern Japanese bidet, but that’s not a big deal.

The staff gave a warm response that made me feel welcome.

The staff were kind, but the nearby noise made it hard to relax. It wasn’t suitable for a solo adult female traveler; it might work for students. I was surprised to find out it was just one room of an apartment, which felt scary for a woman traveling alone.

“Un avis mitigé... nous n'y reviendrons pas.”

The gentleman who welcomed us was charming, and the check‑in times were flexible. The accommodation felt quite old‑fashioned, with rustic and worn equipment, and it was rather expensive for what was offered.

The host handled everything politely. From a cost perspective, there were no negative points.
