Japaning Hotel LIV Ranroukaku

I loved how the building is right on the river in Arashiyama. Beautiful area. Wonderful staff, you are always greeted with a smile, whether you have just come back from an exploration, or are receiving your breakfast in the morning, as well as other times. Bedroom was spacious and very comfortable, as well as tidy!

The public bath (indoor) has many bugs floating on top of the water each evening I went to use it. I could tell it wasn’t cleaned everyday, because some gross guest left their bandaid on the ledge of the bath and it was still there the next evening.

The location just past the end of Togetsu-Kyo is great for sightseeing in the area. Well connected by bus and Hankyu rail line. The room is very spacious. The older lady at the front desk is super nice. There’s an onsen just down the road (take the discount coupon from the hotel).

Soundproofing is poor. I could here the footsteps and conversations of the family upstairs. Breakfast is a bento box in a plastic tray.

The staff is friendly and accommodating, the location outstanding and the breakfast perfect for packing up for a picnic in onen of Arashiyama's stunning outdoor sites.

The hotel is beautifully appointed but some of hte furnishings a re a bit worn down. The bed was a bit hard.

It was way better than i expected!! It was my parent’s first travel to Japan and they said that the hotel was good overall~ but the staffs kindness was the best hospitality they ever had so far!! Lol

The shops and restaurant close to fast~ And... it’s a 3-story hotel, but there is no elevator(but the staff kindly booked the room for my parent at 1st floor ^^)

Lovely welcoming, very friendly personal
