호텔 비나리오 사가 아라시야마

Great place

The location is great- steps from the train station. Not a lot nearby in terms of food and most things close early when the tourists leave for the day. Which means it’s pretty quiet at night. Rooms are good size, not cramped like most of Japan. Windows barely open and the AC was not working well when we were there.

Only reason I stayed here was for my Kyoto tour that was meeting right outside the hotel’s metro station. The station is a minute away. Everything else was quite disappointing. First, there’s a curfew hour for the hotel—The doors lock at midnight. Never ever seen that anywhere in the world. Two, the hotel desk asks you to leave your key at front desk whenever you leave the room. Never ever seen that either; why leave the key ?! Three, the rooms with a private bathroom are so poorly made that anyone can trip and fall entering or exiting. In addition, the bathtubs are poorly put in place and water leaks behind the uncaulked bathtub in the back. Mold issues assuming. While it looks amazing from the outside, inside it’s no better than a motel 8.

今回は嵐山渡月橋周辺の観光から始めたので 1番近いこちらで、宿泊させて頂きました。 嵯峨嵐山駅すぐでとても立地が良く、 大浴場もあり、快適に過ごさせていただきました。 朝食は手作り豆腐とごはんのお供が美味しく 揃っていてご飯が進みました。 ありがとうございました。

꽤 오래전부터 아라시야마를 오면 방문하는 숙소입니다. 좋은 책도 살 수 있고 전통과 편리함의 조화를 갖춘 훌륭한 숙소입니다.
