This is one of the best places I have ever stayed - business or pleasure. The location was perfect - close to the bridge and to the restaurants - and steps away from the river. The rooms were spacious, so comfortable and we had an ensuite Onzen which was amazing. The team at the Onzen was 5 stars - If I could give more I would. Every need was met - sometimes before we even asked for or realize we needed it. From check in to check out time... they made us feel so special.
We had dinner and breakfast on site, I would highly recommend it!
My only regret - I wish we would have stayed longer.

From the first moment we arrived we knew it was a special place. We received a warm welcome, got escorted to our room and give welcome drinks and cookies. Our room was immaculate. We had a beautiful view of the river and our own private Japanese garden and inside and outside onsen bath. We were provided with breakfast and dinner in the kaiseki style in our own room. The food was spectacular very fresh and full of local flavours. The service was impeccable, personal and friendly. The location was perfect for local sightseeing.
We absolutely loved our stay and heartily recommend it.

This ryokan is exceptional! The place is beautiful and we were able to have an outdoor furo as well as a cedar wood furo inside the room.
The meals were outstanding as well as the service. We would highly recommend this place.

We had a magical time at Ryotei Rangetsu. The breakfast was delightful and exquisitely prepared; they accommodated one of our party being vegan. The private outdoor bath attached to our room was wonderful. The staff spoiled us with the epitome of hospitality.
4.7
it is located int he most picturesque part of Kyoto-- Just on the river. One can not expect more than that. It far from central districts but it is worth it during very high tourist season.

My fiancée and I stayed at a ryokan for the first time, and Ryokan Rangetsu couldn't have been a better experience! We stayed for one night, and when it was time to leave, we wished we had stayed longer. The ryokan is truly beautiful, and the staff is very attentive and friendly. Our room maid, whose name we regrettably cannot remember, was polite and made our visit feel truly special. Our room was spacious, clean and cozy, and the backyard very beautiful. We also enjoyed the outdoor bath a lot! The onsen was nice as well. We didn't have dinner, but the traditional Japanese breakfast was delicious and great experience. The location of the ryokan in Arashiyama is very convenient. All in all, we cannot recommend Ryokan Rangetsu enough, and wish to stay there again.

Our stay in the room with the private hot spring bath was more than just a nights stay but an experience on its own. With the room being at the foot of the mountain overlooking the river, theres no shortage of breaktaking scenery. The unbelievable full service dinner and breakfast served and presented on beautiful tableware was artwork. A quiet, private and relaxing experience that made my wife and I feel like royalty. Walking distance from multiple local shops and other activities, Ryotei Rangetsu is one of the reasons we will be returning to Kyoto.

Staying here was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. I can't say enough nice things. The location was good. It was a beautiful property with very nice rooms. The service was absolutely outstanding and the food was amazing. Years of travel have made me slightly picky around hotels and this really exceeded my every expectation. We hope to return in the future!

The hotel is located in a wonderful location, Just few minutes walk to the Main Street at Arashiyama. Staff provide excellent services and all of them are very helpful. Dinner and breakfast is very healthy and delicious. Rooms and public onsen is very clean. Hotel rate is very reasonable. I am very satisfied with everything in this hotel and I will come back next time when I go to Arashiyama.

Beautiful ryokan with amazing staff. Hospitality was top-notch. Food was very thoughtfully plated and delicious! Cannot recommend more highly.

This was the best accommodation we have ever stayed at. The staff is better than ANY 5-star hotel I’ve stayed at, they provide very personal and helpful service. Which is likely easy for them as there are only a few rooms in the property. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, all amenities are provided and yes, traditional robes are provided as well during the stay. The nearby attractions like the Bamboo walk and Monkey Park are minutes away by foot. There’s great street food nearby, though they do close by 5-6pm. Overall, would highly highly recommend a stay at Ryotei Rangetsu if you are able to get an available room.

One of the highlights of the trip. An absolute must if you want to stay in a traditional Ryokan. Location was an added bonus to the bamboo forest and monkey park. Staff was top notch!

The staff were I kind and extremely thoughtful. We went out for a walk in the rain. They gave us umbrellas but our shoes still got wet. They put our shoes in a drying compartment so when we came back down to go to dinner, they were warm and dry. Our rooms was large with a beautiful view. I would stay here again!

Ryotei Rangetsu was excellent! The staff were friendly and accommodating. The property was clean, spacious, and the onsen easily accesible and well kept. The location is also excellent. Right outside of the Main Street, on the river, but quiet. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
4.7
The staffs are very friendly, the food is very good.
After we check out, the staff contacted us about an item being left in our room. At the end, the staff delivered the item to our hotel in downtown Kyoto. This shows their hospitality and care to their customers.
100% would revisit.

We stayed one night at this place while touring round Japan. We decided to splash out as we wanted to stay at a traditional ryokan. Both breakfast and dinner,was superb and was served by the maid in your room which made it extra special. Bath tub in room was epic and the spa area was perfect to relax. As a gay couple we had no problems as staff were very friendly. Location was perfect as overlooked a big loch and was right next to a great coffee shop and the beautiful arishyama town. Definitely recommend.

The staff do everything possible to make you as comfortable as possible and to accommodate to your needs. Extremely polite and professional staff.

Absolutely stunning hotel. The location is right on the water and rooms have a beautiful view. The baths (gender separated and fully nude) were very relaxing. Our room came with a soaking tub, which we loved. Breakfast was very interesting, like nothing we've eaten before--dinner as well. I would highly recommend a night or two at Ryotei Rangetsu.

My husband and I both liked our stay at this Ryokon but felt that it was over priced
4.7
Garden faces the river while having your own private onsen with view of the sunset. Room is excellent with separate entrance and living dining room and bedroom opening up to the moss garden. Great staff attitude and service and excellent private dining in the comfort of your room. Location is great and just a short walk to shops and restaurants along the river walk
4.7
I was looking to give myself a treat after backpacking for a couple of weeks. Having the experience of trying a Japanese style room was amazing. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms are amazing! Will definitely come back
4.7
The ryokan is located right beside a river. Very beautiful landscape and view. If you plan to spend a day or so in Arashiyama, this hotel is a great choice.
Delicate Japanese style garden and room, comfortable futons and hot tub.
The staff was very friendly and polite. The in-room breakfast was great, even better tasting than the cuisine we had in an expensive restaurant nearby the hotel.
