Kyoto Arashiyama Monkey Park Iwatayama Hotels

"This was the best hotel I stayed in my entire three week trip to Japan. The onsen is wonderful, the late night ramen is delicious, the room is spacious and the vibe is immaculate. LOVED IT"

"Per Japanese culture, the staff wasn't that helpfull."

"The location was a little further from Kyoto station than I'd expected but very walkable if you've minimal luggage ... it's reasonably priced for the standard of the hotel which is excellent. My only gripe was that there was step down access to the hotel rather than a ramp option so struggled a bit with the bags - I'm sure someone would have come from the reception had I asked though as staff were very helpful. Other than that - the quality of the decor, lay-out, services etc were all excellent. I used the laundry facilities which was helpful by the stage of my trip I was at! Also I appreciated the free drinks and snacks in the reception area - including saké - so I got to try things I might not have otherwise. The room was really spacious with Japanese style - tea and coffee facilities (and a fridge) included which was nice as I didn't have the breakfast option being on a budget and open to buy out. The trolley was on wheels so was able to move it nearer an electric point for the kettle to plug in! I had a comfortable couple of nights here and would definitely recommend. "

"Wonderful all around. Fantastic location too. "

"Nice room, but not a good view and staff was not accommodating. Breakfast, laundry, and onsen usage were all for absorbently high additional costs, not reasonable at all. "

"Rooms were kept in the best shape with all the modern conveniences you could ask for. Showers had great water pressure! Morning breakfast was wonderful with good variety of both Japanese and Western tastes. Staff were very professional and helpful. They helped when we didn't speak the best of Japanese when we stumbled over our pronunciation. There was a good mix of travelers passing through from all over. The train museum is just steps from the hotel, there's a Family Mart on the first floor and JR Train station also just steps away. It was 1 stop from Kyoto station so there is no reason to stay anywhere else with such a convenient location. "
