Guesthouse Kyoto Arashiyama 1 stars

Ukyo Ward, Kyoto

4 km from Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Guesthouse Kyoto Arashiyama is located in Kyoto and provides free WiFi and express check-in and check-out. It is situated 4.1 km from Kinkaku-ji Temple and features luggage storage space. The guest house features family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. The hosts are so lovely and kind! They were really flexible with my check in despite me arriving there well before the designated time. It's the perfect amount of space for a solo traveler; the tatami style room was very cozy and comfortable. Small kitchen space and fridge was also a plus. The location is nice as its not in the thick of the really touristy areas so it doesn't feel over-crowded, but it's easy enough to commute to popular spots via bus.
