Friendly staff , one of the staff saw us unloading tons of luggages. The bring the cart over so we could bring it up our rooms easier . The hotel right next to a highway rest centre , lots of local produce and specialty items to buy. I think it opens early too. I love the bathroom mirror can be turned around. One of us can brush teeth, while the other do make up without fighting at the sink area for the mirror.

BAR-B-QUE & Cooking ourselves

We’ll located, superbly peaceful and the breakfast and dinners very generous and delicious. The onsen was the best!

Everything particularly the location to.visit Arashiyama at a great value.

I liked everything but I especially loved the Hot Bath and the systems and timings. It is the first time in my many travels that the Hot Bath was opened from 2:00 PM till 10:00AM which was perfect. In most other hotels the Hot Bath closes around 11:00PM so we have to rush back from dinner if we want to take a nice long bath. They also had a fantastic relaxation room for after your bath. You could literally fall asleep there in comfort. Breakfast too was good and the staff throughout the hotel were excellent. Location was the best. We stayed 3 nights but could have stayed more. Will go back for sure.

An outstanding place to stay for a relaxing couple of days. The rooms are beautiful, the food is exceptional and the service is next level.

Extremely welcoming hosts with A* service. Each room has en-suite bathroom and toilet. Super good dinner and breakfast.

Momijiya was our splurge night of the trip - well worth the money! We booked a room with a private outdoor ceramic bath next to the river with a tree-line view (one of only two, I believe - definitely worth it). Making our way there, we came up on the JR bus from Kyoto. When we were wandering around the mountain roads like lost lambs trying to find the property, our lifesaver appeared out of nowhere asking if we were going to Momijiya. I can confirm they have a shuttle service to and from a couple of Kyoto stations, it would help if I read my messages the day before. Being driven down to the property was like entering a fairytale valley - so beautiful!! The staff were there to welcome us and I loved the touch of removing your shoes at the lobby which magically reappeared when we left the following day. The lobby was beautiful with a zen garden and fire-pit (??) I had a bit of time to try the public onsen before dinner which was okay, but not as well kitted out as some I had been to. There is a general issue with slightly outdated porcelain ware (toilets and sinks/showers). All well kept, clean and functional though. Where Momijiya wins is the staff, the location , the traditional feel of the property and oh my goodness, the FOOD!! We had a half-board plan which included dinner on the terrace by the river (note drinks are a separate charge) and breakfast in the upstairs tatami. We were given Yukata which we wore to dinner and breakfast for that authentic feel, loved that! The food was traditional Japanese and both dinner and breakfast were epic meals beautifully facilitated by our servers. I didn’t know what half of it was but everything was delicious and stunning! And you will not leave hungry! After dinner we retired to our room and I spent three hours in our outdoor bath taking in the night - an oasis of calm in the midst of a very busy trip. We loved Momijiya, it is in our top two stays of our trip.
