Overall Ratings & Reviews HOTEL ARU KYOTO

Had a corner room. Beautiful tinted windows on two walls. Best bathroom we encountered in our entire Japan stay. A bathtub with a skyline view! Terrific location with a huge array of food and shopping options steps from the hotel.

Not that great. Not really set up for foreigners. Staff member a but unhelpful.

Good location, close to the subway and very safe

Hotel in great area, good for trains and evenings out, close to Gion.

We had a great experience. The staff is super friendly and the location is great.

big room, nice and clean too.

Room was very nice. Hotel itself doesn’t have very many amenities but it’s close to the heart of Kyoto.

Lovely people. Great area.

It’s good to stay in the property.

Very cute, comfortable, conveniently located. We also got lucky and had a corner room so having to windows with light coming in was amazing plus the tinted glass window sliding sliding covers were good.

Very nice stay! Amazing bathroom and shower! Everything great!

Lovely hotel in perfect location. Good breakfast and a discount at bar. Staff were really welcoming and kind.

It is located in a nice convenient area of kyoto qith shopping and dining options. And close enough to walk to Gion.

Hotel Aru Kyoto is a good choice

We were impressed with such a cozy hotel .Friendly staff

Rooms were clean and the staff were super friendly

The Aru is extremely well located, is very quiet, and has a lovely ambience and decor. The Japanese breakfast was excellent. We also found our room to be quite large by Japanese standards. We loved our stay there and would highly recommend it.

Liked the property. Very nice bathroom.

Convenience

We are an American couple of two — Our room was very, very spacious and had all of the amenities we typically get in the USA, even the outlets. Everything was very clean, quiet, and comfortable. We got some free drink vouchers, free coffee/tea in the lobby, and one free water bottle each day, per person. We had an incident where an expensive necklace went down the sink drain. The staff was extremely helpful and called a plumber for us to get it out for free! We had to leave kyoto the next day so we were worried we wouldn’t get it in time. The staff worked out many different options and they were very accommodating. I highly recommend this hotel.
