We were actually shocked at how quiet the room was even on a lively night outside. Close to a train station to, 10/10 stay would definitely recommend. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b47a599c-2cf9-46d9-a9c7-9ad5b304722c-1762064919980.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e4ee8f42-e455-407f-a572-c7dfa0bb1f62-1762064913216.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b60e44f4-49c0-4bfb-95d0-761773849d67-1762064880308.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Dane Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lianxiang 25 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent staying ##### Lianxiang Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 31 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a wonderful stay. We had 3 nights in this well located and well maintained hotel. Room was spacious with a pretty view of central Kyoto. Close to main attractions with plenty of transport options and restaurants (including a short walk from the famed Nishiki Markets). Given this proximity some outside noise could be heard in the small hours, but no huge issue. Hotel Aru is also accessible with elevators to all floors. Breakfast was fantastic. Excellent bath.

We arrived earlier around 1ish and checked our luggage’s in first. When we came back, room cards are all ready and luggages were carried in our room in advance. The premium coffee machine produced the best tasty coffee of all hotels I tried so far. The cafeteria was lovely. Too pity haven’t got chance to try their beer (didn’t see we had a beer coupon until after 10pm). The bed was hugely wide, and probably the most spacious bathroom in Japan. Great location! The hotel is located in a quiet alley just 2-3 minutes away from the busy shopping street. Will definitely come back again for ARU and stay longer next time! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/235318df-9656-42a7-8c4b-65a7a16c4bc4-1763044501623.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e9bf6d8f-2526-435b-aee4-4e8c6b6e477c-1763044501578.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d199ce91-eb69-4d2c-a0d9-f7fb2a78e4c4-1763044501876.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/de9edaad-c135-4063-8008-c8e6294b274a-1763044501468.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### YI Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roman 25 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were impressed with such a cozy hotel .Friendly staff ##### Roman Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 12 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a great experience.
