Having stayed in Arashiyama already for 1 day at another nearby hotel, I hadn’t anticipated liking the area so much. I located Mulan Hotel and stayed in the dorm bed for 2 nights. Being the only guest there, the beds and common areas (such as bathrooms, kitchen etc) were clean. They had access to a washing machine and dryer which was appreciated after 2 weeks of travel. Presented with a discount coupon for the neighbourhood onsen, 2 minutes walk from the hotel is a must! They also have bikes for hire, which made exploring the local area and neighbourhood really enjoyable. Price is great for those on a budget. The bus stop to return to Kyoto Station is 80m from the front entrance. Be mindful its 15-20 minute walk to the major sites and main restaurants. Staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended and I look forward to my visit there again soon!

They overbooked so I ended up upgrading for a fee that Trip.com compensated. The place is very small but beautifully decorated, very clean, perfect location to explore the overrated Bamboo Forest, many temples around and the MOnkey Forest. The staff is friendly and the coffee machine is beautiful. The private room is cozy but the mattress was terrible. I did not sleep at all. It is far from the rest of the attractions in Kyoto.

For me it was the best hostel yet! They let you use the washing machine and dryer for free. The rooms and places to place your belongings are big enough. I was really pleased.

The owner is kind and the facilities are very clean. The bathroom, sink, and shower are conveniently located. However, the stairs to the 2nd and 3rd floors are a bit steep and narrow. Please note this if you are carrying a carrier. Bath towels, face towels, toothbrushes, and toothbrush cups are provided. There is also a 2,000 won coupon for a nearby hot spring bathhouse, so be sure to get it and go! There is a Ministop 5 minutes away on foot, and you can also rent a bike!

The boss is friendly and enthusiastic. He can speak Chinese. Although the room is a bit small, the bed is very big. There is storage space next to the extra wide single bed. The bed is also a new memory mattress. The experience is very good. Although the public space is a bit small, the overall wooden style is very warm. When I return to the hotel in the cold weather in late autumn, I really feel like I am warm and at home. The cooperative hot spring bath is also very good. There is an outdoor spring where you can relax. The location is only five minutes away from Arashiyama Street but it perfectly avoids the crowds. The main station - Hankyu Arashiyama, you don't need to transfer from Osaka and there are few people. To be honest, except for the desolate Arashiyama area at night, it is very suitable for traveling alone or staying with two or three people.

Completely not worth it, I booked a family room for three people, booked the room has 19-25 square feet, check-in only 10 square meters or less, the room does not have any facilities, no elevator to move your own luggage to the third floor, book There was a hot spring ♨️, but it turned out that you had to go to the public hot spring outside the street at your own expense. After checking in, there was no staff in the museum. If an accident really can not imagine, around the restaurants turned out to close at 18:30, I have emailed to explain that the meeting before 19:00, and did not state too late to check in, the surrounding shops will be closed, we went to the convenience store dinner that night, This guesthouse is actually just a bed and breakfast, the facilities are 10 points shabby, definitely not worth the price I paid
