Close to Hankyu Arashiyama Station and Togetsukyo Bridge!This hotel allows pets, butNo animal odor was detected.If I had to complain, I would say the parking lot is a coin parking lot next door.However, it was only a few hundred yen per night, so it was perfectly fine.

I stayed with two family members. It seems like this is a hotel that allows pets, but guests with pets seem to be in separate rooms, so there is no need to worry about allergies.It seems to be a type of inn that has been converted into a hotel by renovating an apartment, but everything from the front desk to the rooms was kept clean, and the overall feel was clean. Also, the front desk is locked at night, and the rooms are auto-locked with card keys, so I think it's both convenient and safe. The breakfast bread was also delicious.It's about a 20-minute walk from the hotel, and you can go to Togetsukyo Bridge, Nakanoshima Island, the bamboo forest path, and eat around the area.I think this is the perfect hotel for sightseeing in Arashiyama.

The information about this hotel is completely fraudulent. Please be careful if you want to make a reservation here.1. Google Maps rating is incorrect. Although it is listed as a 3-star hotel, it is actually a guesthouse-like inn.2. There is a problem with pricing. Prices are set high for advance reservations, and prices drop on the day of reservation. In addition, cancellation fees will apply if canceled 14 days in advance. A month ago, the price was about the same as surrounding Japanese-style inns (around 20,000 yen), but on the day you can move in for 12,000 yen.3. There is irrelevant photo information. The photos of high-end foods such as sukiyaki that you can see on Agoda are of surrounding stores and have nothing to do with this hotel. This hotel is just a guest house and there are no paid services. Also, I see breakfast options on Agoda, but they actually just give me free morning bread. This is a complete scam.4. It is stated that pets are allowed, but this information was not presented at the time of booking.There is no problem with the facility itself, but the management is not honest and it is very disappointing.

There was street parking next to the nearest parking lot, which caused a lot of inconvenience to traffic.

The staff was very friendly. The female staff member was cute. After checking out and leaving my AirPods behind, I had a hard time communicating using a translator on the phone, but they used a translator so I could easily find it right away. I want to use it again next time. The accommodation was also clean and nice.
