Everything was great! Hotel located in a prime location. Love the minimalist interior, good lighting system, various amenities . Food & drinks included in our package were delicious. We really wish to visit again soon. A few suggestions~ both pillows were soft, a pillow menu will be helpful. Maybe provide some skincare sachets too?
One of the best hotels in Arashiyama. Spacious, modern rooms. Very friendly and helpful staffs. Special thanks to Ms Rinka. I lost my wallet while walking between a restaurant and the hotel, and Ms Rinka volunteered to take me to the police station and help me file the police report. Turns out someone had found the wallet and brought it to the police station, so I was able to retrieve my wallet and nothing was lost. Hats off also to the officers at the police station and the person who found the wallet.
I had an exceptional stay at MUNI Kyoto. The location is unbeatable — right by the iconic Togetsukyo Bridge with stunning views of the river and mountains. Waking up to that scenery from my room was truly unforgettable.
The hotel’s design and ambience are outstanding: calm, refined, and beautifully curated. My room felt both luxurious and serene, blending modern comfort with Kyoto’s understated elegance.
The service was another major highlight. Every staff member I encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making my stay seamless. They went above and beyond to help secure dinner reservations, which I deeply appreciated. One small example of their thoughtful service: after I asked for additional water on one of the days, the staff proactively ensured I had extra water prepared for the rest of my stay without needing to ask again.
Overall, MUNI Kyoto delivered a beautiful, tranquil, and memorable experience. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Arashiyama and would absolutely return.

Amazing property right next to the Katsuragawa with view of the river and Togetsu bridge. Rooms are spacious with modern minimalist design. Staffs are very courteous and helpful. The best hotel we have stayed in while traveling in Japan.
The staff are so wonderful - so knowledgable, kind and helpful.
The rooms are large, super clean and comfortable. The hotel location is great - you can walk to all the sites.
