First and foremost, the entire staff was absolutely fantastic and made our stay wonderful. They were so helpful and kind from the very beginning. The hotel is in a great location, very clean, cold water bottles always available, very spacious rooms and comfortable beds. There's a small mart down the street and you can walk/e-bike within minutes to major attractions, beautiful temples and Edo period streets. 10/10

Our stay at the GrandWest Arashiyama was exceptional. The room was spacious and clean, reception was incredibly helpful, and the location was quiet and idyllic. During our stay we made the most of the amenities including free refreshments, a washing/drying machine, and a cute cafe situated just downstairs from the hotel entrance. Our stay here was easily one of the best parts of our trip to Japan and I highly encourage those visiting Arashiyama to consider this hotel!
