    It's a quiet far away from the sightseeing hot spots. The Gion District and the famous shrines are quite a bit further away and mostly accessible by bus, but you should plan for about 40-60 min to get there.

    The room has a really Japanese feeling to it. There is a tatami area with a little kitchen in it. You can use the nearby onsen for free if you ask the staff. Unfortunately we didn't have the time. We had breakfast included, which came in Bento Boxes. We liked it! The Tambaguchi train station is about 10 minutes away, so it's good if you want to get to Arashiyama.

    Address given by Booking.com was hard to understand and several people we asked for help with directions including taxi driver had problems understanding it. We finally gave up trying to put address into Google maps and just put name of property which gave us better directions.

    We liked the staff, beautiful room , kids loved the bath. close to a train station for easy access to Bamboo Forest and Monkey Park, there is a great supermarket Matsumoto close by if you want a break from eating out.

    The place was good. Only thing I could suggest would be to invest in some Do Not Disturb signs for the doors.

    The room was ample in size, especially for Japan. Hotel was in a good location. Not city centre, but 2 stops away in a quiet neighbourhood with a lot of history. Walking distance to everything you need, supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants. Staff were helpful an always happy to accommodate any requests. Beds were comfy and a good size, but only as single beds. No double bed, however, futons are available to use in the tatami room.

    Spacious and beautiful for 5 adults living together. The apartment can be split into different spaces for relaxing, sleeping, and enjoying snacks/breakfast. We love the pockets of outdoor areas with plants, the bathtub, two vanity sinks, tatami, and the breakfast sets are luxurious!

    There was no lift, so if you have big luggage you have to reconsider. Quite hard to find the location.

    The neigborhood was quiet, the property was amazing, clean. It was really nice to experience a night here. But, the location quite far from tambaguchi station. We arrive around 8 pm, so it quite hard to find the location.

    A bit far from the main attractions so one has to walk about 30 minutes or take a taxi or train. There is a train station nearby so this was fairly easy

    Very clean and comfortable place. Lovely tatami room and access to spa. Equipped kitchenette and fridge. Staff are friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed my two nights there.

    My only suggestion would be that extra futons be left in the room... they were very thin compared to others we have slept on, so doubling up might be a good idea.

    The hotel is rather noisy. we can clearly ear when neighboor are taking a bath. The room has little light and thus quite dark.

    Room is very large. Bathroom very nice. Hotel is installed in a super quite side. Hotel has link with close onsen. This onsen has a super good restaurant.

    The noise from upstairs was loud, you could hear each footstep and toilet flush, not fresh towels or cleaning everyday, the check in was not a good experience. Extremely basic.
