5 Stars
This is one of the best places I have ever stayed - business or pleasure. The location was perfect - close to the bridge and to the restaurants - and steps away from the river. The rooms were spacious, so comfortable and we had an ensuite Onzen which was amazing. The team at the Onzen was 5 stars - If I could give more I would. Every need was met - sometimes before we even asked for or realize we needed it. From check in to check out time... they made us feel so special. We had dinner and breakfast on site, I would highly recommend it! My only regret - I wish we would have stayed longer.

Our experience at Ryotei Rangetsu was amazing. The service was thoughtful, efficient, and organized, they really thought of everything, allowing us to fully relax our minds. The annex room with a private onsen was wonderful and had a stunning view of the river and mountains. It was also spacious but comfortable, especially the futons that they lay out for sleep. We chose to include the dinner as well, which was delicious and very filling. Overall the stay was 5 stars for us.

We had stayed at the Ryotei Rangetsu for two nights and absolutely loved our stay there! The friendliness, respectfulness and willingness to provide a wonderful experience by the staff is really unmatched. Yamaguchi-San and everyone else there deserve the highest praise. As for the property itself, it is ideally located in Arashiyama and within walking distance to the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Tenryu-Ji Temple and all of the shops & restaurants in the area. We had a traditional room with tatami floors and a beautiful view outdoors to our very own garden and the river. Every night the staff would prepare our futon beds, and every morning they would put them away in preparation for our Japanese style breakfasts (which were delicious). Our room also not only had an indoor soaking tub, but it had our own outdoor onsen on our patio as well (which we used on both nights!) We also opted for one Kaiseki dinner which lasted about 1 1/2 hours on our first night there which was both delicious and was amazingly presented. Also, a few examples of their excellent customer service was when they wouldn’t let us bring our heavy suitcase back and forth to our room ourselves (they carried it), they would bring our shoes to us whenever we left to go outside, and when we left on a taxi to leave Kyoto, they said goodbye to us and bowed as the taxi was leaving and only when the taxi was out of sight….would they stop bowing. So yes, I would highly recommend the Ryotei Rangetsu!

A gem of a place
From the first moment we arrived we knew it was a special place. We received a warm welcome, got escorted to our room and give welcome drinks and cookies. Our room was immaculate. We had a beautiful view of the river and our own private Japanese garden and inside and outside onsen bath. We were provided with breakfast and dinner in the kaiseki style in our own room. The food was spectacular very fresh and full of local flavours. The service was impeccable, personal and friendly. The location was perfect for local sightseeing. We absolutely loved our stay and heartily recommend it.

We had a magical time at Ryotei Rangetsu. The breakfast was delightful and exquisitely prepared; they accommodated one of our party being vegan. The private outdoor bath attached to our room was wonderful. The staff spoiled us with the epitome of hospitality.

Our stay in the room with the private hot spring bath was more than just a nights stay but an experience on its own. With the room being at the foot of the mountain overlooking the river, theres no shortage of breaktaking scenery. The unbelievable full service dinner and breakfast served and presented on beautiful tableware was artwork. A quiet, private and relaxing experience that made my wife and I feel like royalty. Walking distance from multiple local shops and other activities, Ryotei Rangetsu is one of the reasons we will be returning to Kyoto.

Staying here was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. I can't say enough nice things. The location was good. It was a beautiful property with very nice rooms. The service was absolutely outstanding and the food was amazing. Years of travel have made me slightly picky around hotels and this really exceeded my every expectation. We hope to return in the future!

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!
