Very nice place to stay if you are happy to travel
We had a deluxe double room which was quite large and included a table and two chairs as well as two single beds. Originally we were only going to stay 2 nights but ended up staying 6 as the hotel is very nice. Just one caution is that it’s 15 minutes from the station and the opposite side of town from the tourist areas but there are two bus services into central Kyoto (91 & 93) bother of which are every 20 minutes. They do have a minibus service available in the morning but you have to book it. Did not have breakfast or use the onsite restaurant which seemed expensive. There are limited food options available locally but there is an organic Chinese restaurant opposite and a Sato Japanese restaurant just up the road.

Nice Japanese breakfast with friendly service.
People were nice and very friendly for first time visitors. The hotel is surrounded by quiet, peaceful, and traditional environment, but I had a little bit of difficulties in communication at the reception due to their English shortage. Overall, my wife and I were very satisfied with service the hotel have provided.

Remote.
This hotel is quite faraway from the Saga JR Station. The shuttle bus service is rather limited with two trips to from the hotel to the station in the morning and two reverse way in the afternoon.

Convenient bus station but room has no wifi
A bit disappointed because there were no wifi inside the room. Just a 15min ride to arishayama and an hour or more to kyoto station. The bus station is convenient.

MAJOR language barriers!
This hotel charged me $80 dollars for my friend who arrived from Chicago and stayed up one night out of the three I was there. This was after I talk to a translator who said they would not charge me. There were major communication issues they charge you for coffee in your room just very bad the rooms are not comfortable. I was willing to look over past the discomfort of the room in the language barrier until the last day when they overcharged me. It took two hours to work this out even after I told them which worker it was that I talk too and also to a translator. I paid too much for this room as it was. I cannot recommend it to anyone after what they did.

Great hotel for a more "local" experience
Overall the Sun-Members Kyoto-Saga was a very good hotel and a great fit for travelers with more experience traveling in and navigating Japan, including speaking and understanding basic phrases. The rooms were clean and well-appointed in the manner familiar to Japanese travelers, the staff were courteous (with very limited English), and the meals in the hotel restaurant were well above average. There are a lot of resources in the neighborhood for do-it-yourselfers and more budget-conscious travelers, including a laundromat, market (Mandai), and quite a few decent local eateries - including an excellent teppanyaki and bakery and a very good coffee shop (Time Cafe). The 'neighborhood map' provided by the hotel was useful for getting oriented, and the shuttle Arashiyama-Saga Sta saved time and walking, which you will do plenty of regardless. Taxis to and from the station were about Y560 and readily available during the day; at night you can have the hotel near the station call one for you. The hotel is relatively close to Arashiyama-Saga and the temples and sites on the western side of the valley, but conversely it is quite far (and usually 1-3 trains) from the attractions in central Kyoto and the eastern side of the valley, so factor in extra transit and walking time for your days.

Not bad hotel
Stuff was friendly. Hotel located away from city center. Rooms are very small to the extent end we needed to rearrange the furniture to enable open the suitcases. No wifi in the room. Wifi in public area was unstable. Price was low and matched our budget. Shuttle service provided in the mornings to the train station.

Great intro to west Kyoto suburbs/residential life
Only one night stay, but had a lot of fun. Only con about the neighborhood was distance from subway (15 min walk), otherwise great, small town feel area. The hotel service was fantastic.

Great hotel!
The hotel was great! The staff is very accommodating despite of the language barrier. You can choose western or Japanese style breakfast. We tried both and both were great. 10 minute walk from train station and easy bus stop right across the street to take you to Arashiyama for bamboo forest, etc. We even rented bikes one day. Would recommend this hotel!

Really really good option.
Ended up here as booked late but was very happy. Room ( just one traveller) was fine. Cleaning done meant you could see your face in the room as anything shiny was polished up. Full linen change every day. Very helpful staff and fantastic food (Japanese) I took/ended up with a meal option so got a 9 course meal of the highest quality every night. Superb. Close to a station ( is a few stops out of town as the only downside) and a major Shrine and the famous monkeys all in walking distance from the station ( Hotel runs a shuttle to the station)

遅くのチェックインでしたが、無いものづくしと最初から言われ切なくなりました。せめて朝食がいっぱいで準備出来ない事は残念でした。 後、チェックイン対応の男性の面倒臭い感満載のアテンドは少し失礼かなと。一方女性の方はコンビニ弁当温めでフロント待機していた私に部屋まで持って来てくれたりくれたものを対応いただけたのは移動で疲れた私にはありがたいサービスでした。また機会があったら訪れたいと思ってます。
