Kyoto Haratanien Hotels

"This hotel is one of my favorite globally. From the friendly reception upon arriving to how relaxing the room felt after putting in 18km walking around for the day The Onsen here is what really got me. Went every day and it was the greatest way to start the day. I thought the location was somewhat central to what we visited, and close to rail for Kyoto or further. We only ate the breakfast the one day. It was good but 3000 yen per person, so plan accordingly. Book your stay here while in Kyoto and you will be pleased with your accommodations. "

"Clean room, kind staff, clear instructions."

"During my trip to Japan I stayed in 12 different places and Ben's guesthouse was the most convenient and comfortable. The little kitchen, bathroom, and in-room washing machine made me feel at home. "

"This may be my very favorite hotel of all time. And I only say may to allow for the fact that I may be forgetting something. I can’t imagine, forgetting this. From the moment we arrived from the train station to the moment we sadly departed, every detail was thought of and accounted for. The staff are helpful and discreet, responding to every request as though we had simply asked them the time. This is the only unobtrusive turndown service I’ve ever experienced. . From calling taxis to arranging a Kintsugi experience, to deftly navigating a request to help retrieve some items left in a Tokyo hotel room, everything was absolutely seamless. . Bed was huge and comfortable, pajamas and robes lush, toilet, separate from the shower and private, and an in-room onsen built for two. . The pool is warm and mineral-fed, the grounds are breathtaking, and walking distance to Kinkakuji and some delicious sushi. . If I were forced to make a note, it would be that the Western items on the à la carte breakfast menu were not my favorite. But the buffet was great. . I would come back to Kyoto just to stay here."
