Very good meal provided and close to the bamboo forest. We will return again. I hope the hotel will provide clean shower curtain next time. Our shower curtain had some mould.
4.1
The hotel was in a good location and within walking distance of the Arashiyama main street and the Bumboo forest.
The Japanese courtyard was clean and maintained. Japanese maples would be so beautiful in Autumn.
All the staff are helpful and kind.

The staff is poor in English and not helpful enough. We asked for help to make local calls but they said "NO" only. There should be local calls available but they said no.

If you plan on walking around Arashiyama this is a good place to stay. Location is excellent to see the back streets. The staff are very polite. No complaints about this hotel. Japanese bath house is available if you are interested in that, They provide bathrobes and Kimonos.
Room is small but clean. I am very pleased with my choice to stay here.

We booked this hotel because of its close proximity to the bamboo forest and our desire to see it at dawn. The hotel is very quiet and peaceful but it is relatively expensive for the experience. We had a western style room and it was the largest of any we’ve had in Japan. Our view outside was quite lovely.
The town is mostly for day trippers from Kyoto. As a result the village shuts down around 6:30. We had great difficulty finding a place to eat dinner. A highlight, however, was experiencing the kimono forest at night. It was quite magical.

Location = 9/10Near Arashiyama. strongly recommend to stay one night in Arashiyama.Room = 6/10Small but has good comfortable bedWifi = strongStaff = 8/10 FriendlyHas its own public bath house ^_^
4.1
Overall experience is good, helpful and polite staff and we made use of the public bath. The hotel is few minutes from tram station but around 15 minutes from JR station or romantic train station. We did not have breakfast at the hotel, and there was no eating place opening before 9 am that we could find in this vicinity. It is not about this particular hotel but nothing opens early (before 9 am) in this area. There is convenience store nearby, Lawson, where one can buy some food. Last time we stayed in another hotel in which we could buy bus 1-day pass but we could not buy it in this hotel. We could buy that on the bus but this hotel cannot provide this little extra convenience.

Nice time great for morning walk along the river. Breakfast was ok. Onsen was ok. Hotel front staff was not effective
4.1
Its a gem right at Arashiyama, at night you get to see the beautiful lights from the bridge and at day is so close by the main places you need to visit/eat at Arashiyama. Room are not so spacious, and facilities are not of a high rate hotel, think of it as a modern higher class inn/ryokans, must try the breakfast, tofu and light Kaiseki cuisine. Free parking a bonus
4.1
The staff are nice and one of the staff has reasonable English standard. The hotel is not too far from railway stations and easy to find.
4.1
I wanted a couple of days away from the big city hustle and bustle, and this hotel provided a very tranquil "ryokan style" retreat, but very close to Arashiyama's scenic spots. It was exactly what I was looking for.

I've previously stated near Kyoto Station on recent visits to Kyoto but always liked the area around Arashiyama so I decided to stay there this time. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hotel as some of the other reviews weren't too good. It's not the most convenient location to either rail stations but if you like strolling through the bamboo forest, along the river or on the temple grounds it can't be beat, especially at the price. Staff was helpful getting me a taxi on a rainy day and spoke enough English for my needs. The room was large by Japan standards, more like a western style motel. I would definitely return.

Unlike the classification on the Hotels.com website, the Razan is NOT a ryokan, which was the sole reason for booking. It is a regular, albeit Japanese, version of a standard motel/hotel. It is clean and has a standard, but not exceptional bath house. I appeared to be the only non-Japanese guest in the hotel during my two days there. There was much, good natured, amusement from the waitresses in the dining room for breakfast at my ignorance of the foods available, also some well-meaning, but incomprehensible instructions/offers of help.
Contrary to the claim on the website, wifi is not available in the room and only within a 5 metre radius of the centre of the lobby.
