Muni Kyoto is a small boutique hotel with friendly staff and is conveniently located. Our second floor room has beautiful views of Arashiyama with large floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony. The hotel and rooms have a modern and minimalist design so that the focus is on the natural scenery outside. Breakfast has multiple courses and is delicious, especially their freshly baked croissants. The dining experience is generally calm and relaxing with the views of Arashiyama.

Exquisitely beautiful and elegant hotel in a prime location in central Kyoto next to the local market and shops. 2 metro stops away from Kyoto station where you can catch the Shinkansen to Tokyo or Osaka. The staff are incredibly lovely, they are the most polite people and want to help with everything. They safely stored our bags before and after our stay so we could maximise exploring Kyoto. The hotel is presented very well with a classic modern Japanese feel. The room was very spacious with...

Loved the location of being nearer the old side of Kyoto. Spacious lobby was lovely along with rooftop bar. Balance between sympathetic design and modern luxury. Breakfast was excellent and very varied to others we had in Japan.
Room was good and a generous size. Ground floor didn’t have much light but that was okay as we were out all day.
Only negatives, only one chair in room and not many places to be comfy and relax. No bath. Laundrette was not nearly big enough, turned out to be very...

The place to go if you want the feel of Ryokan but want the modern amenities. Each room is gorgeous, and so well thought down to the tiniest detail. Would put it at the level of the Four Seasons or Park Hyatt.
The wooden gated entry to every room, with its own rock garden makes it feel like you are coming home. The welcome locally made sweets and tea/cold towels at check in are some of the touches that make the place special.
The only downside is the lack of a proper gym.

Check in & out was so quick & easy, especially checking out - you just put your key card into a machine & you’re done. The hotel is in a great area as indicated by the ‘What did you like?’ section above. The rooms were always cleaned & restocked with bottled water, towels, etc.

I have never stayed in a hostel before, so I was filled with trepidation about what the atmosphere would be like.
I need not have worried, Mulan Hostel was perfect, spotlessly clean, modern throughout. A quiet and peaceful sanctuary. Mulan Hostel has set the bar very high, fantastic!! Thank you.

The hotel is fairly new. It is centrally located within the district we stayed in about 4 km from Kyoto Station. The hotel staff were very helpful when we had to change our travel plans due to the cyclone that hit Tokyo and managed to find us alternative rooms in the hotel. Excellent service.

Our room was very spacious and totally quiet. The area was busy but perfectly situated for transport, shopping and dining whilst being in the heart of the city and yet only half an hours walk from most of the numerous major attractions. The staff were helpful and friendly and the free coffee etc was very welcome. We’d definitely return should we have the opportunity.

About the Arashiyama District
Arashiyama District is in western Kyoto, Japan. It is a district made famous by its quaint shopping areas, bamboo groves, and cherry blossoms. It is a popular tourist destination during the autumn months when the cherry trees are flowering and the maples turn a rich hue of gold and red.
Don’t MissA popular attraction in Arashiyama District is the massive and spectacular bamboo groves. The cherry blossoms in November and April are also one of the most beautiful sights in the district.
Iconic landmarks in Arashiyama District are the Togetsukyo Bridge and Tenryuji Temple, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Monkey Park Iwatayama provides some entertaining moments with these cheeky primates. A trip to Jojakkoji Temple in the mountains will offer you a fantastic view of Kyoto through the maple tree forest.
Discover the older sections of Arashiyama District at Saga-Toriimoto Preserved Street with heritage buildings dating back to the Meiji period. They have been kept in pristine condition and converted into quaint little shops and restaurants.
Restaurants and BarsEvery district in Japan has its own unique culinary feel. One of the most sought after restaurants in Arashiyama District is Hirokawa, serving fresh eels sourced from farms throughout Japan. One recommendation in Arashiyama District is the yudo, which is a silky soft tofu simmering in a rich broth served at Yodofu Sagano. More tofu dishes can be found at Takemura Restaurant. They make this winter cuisine using the pure well waters in Arashiyama District. The Shigetsu Restaurant situated in the Tenryu-ji Temple offers authentic Buddhist vegetarian cuisine called shojin ryori.
