This was the best accommodation we have ever stayed at. The staff is better than ANY 5-star hotel I’ve stayed at, they provide very personal and helpful service. Which is likely easy for them as there are only a few rooms in the property. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, all amenities are provided and yes, traditional robes are provided as well during the stay. The nearby attractions like the Bamboo walk and Monkey Park are minutes away by foot. There’s great street food nearby, though they do close by 5-6pm. Overall, would highly highly recommend a stay at Ryotei Rangetsu if you are able to get an available room.

The staff were I kind and extremely thoughtful. We went out for a walk in the rain. They gave us umbrellas but our shoes still got wet. They put our shoes in a drying compartment so when we came back down to go to dinner, they were warm and dry. Our rooms was large with a beautiful view. I would stay here again!

Ryotei Rangetsu was excellent! The staff were friendly and accommodating. The property was clean, spacious, and the onsen easily accesible and well kept. The location is also excellent. Right outside of the Main Street, on the river, but quiet. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We stayed one night at this place while touring round Japan. We decided to splash out as we wanted to stay at a traditional ryokan. Both breakfast and dinner,was superb and was served by the maid in your room which made it extra special. Bath tub in room was epic and the spa area was perfect to relax. As a gay couple we had no problems as staff were very friendly. Location was perfect as overlooked a big loch and was right next to a great coffee shop and the beautiful arishyama town. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely stunning hotel. The location is right on the water and rooms have a beautiful view. The baths (gender separated and fully nude) were very relaxing. Our room came with a soaking tub, which we loved. Breakfast was very interesting, like nothing we've eaten before--dinner as well. I would highly recommend a night or two at Ryotei Rangetsu.

Beautiful Japanese Ryokan with private garden
Garden faces the river while having your own private onsen with view of the sunset. Room is excellent with separate entrance and living dining room and bedroom opening up to the moss garden. Great staff attitude and service and excellent private dining in the comfort of your room. Location is great and just a short walk to shops and restaurants along the river walk

Wonderful experience
The ryokan is located right beside a river. Very beautiful landscape and view. If you plan to spend a day or so in Arashiyama, this hotel is a great choice. Delicate Japanese style garden and room, comfortable futons and hot tub. The staff was very friendly and polite. The in-room breakfast was great, even better tasting than the cuisine we had in an expensive restaurant nearby the hotel.

Talk about being pampered...Ryotei Rangetsu takes pampering to a whole different level! We have never experienced that level of service or more attention to detail anywhere else. Additionally, their meals were beyond heavenly. You will not be disappointed.

6-star Ryokan Kyoto Hotel
Superb service and outstanding food quality that I had experienced two days ago, it was way beyond our expectation in light of customer-focused service, seasonal food quality and historical location. For instance, we were assigned with a lady butler to serve in-room dinner and breakfast, prepare our beds after dinner and arrange bath before our arrival. The hotel manager and the lady butler helped us to call taxi and also waited at the hotel entrance for farewell until our taxi left the premise. This room is also facilitated with private bathroom and external bath, it was really special to us though we didn't try the external bath during our stay coz it was around 7 degree there. In addition, the maximum privacy can also be offered as I barely met other guests around. Finally, there are many tourist attractions such as bamboo forrest around this hotel within 10-15 min walk, it is definitely an excellent ryokan hotel for couples and families.
