Muni Kyoto is a small boutique hotel with friendly staff and is conveniently located. Our second floor room has beautiful views of Arashiyama with large floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony. The hotel and rooms have a modern and minimalist design so that the focus is on the natural scenery outside. Breakfast has multiple courses and is delicious, especially their freshly baked croissants. The dining experience is generally calm and relaxing with the views of Arashiyama.

It is the perfect staying for those who value minimalism and peace. Just around the corner of the bursting Arashiyama you will find Muni, am excepcional place to continue enjoying the energy of the soundings but at your own place. I would choose to stay over again. The rooms are cared about to the detail.

This is a beautiful hotel. I cannot recommend it enough. The location is fantastic. The restaurant is small, but lovely. The staff was very professional. The only thing I didn't like was the spa music in the hall. It's rather loud and fills your hotel room. You're forced to listen to it. It started at 5 AM and woke me up. Thankfully, they shut it off when I asked. It was a bit odd; I paid for the rooms, but my slightly older friend was the one they handed a business card to and consulted. Overall, this is an extraordinary hotel. You're in your own private oasis amid a bustling tourist area.

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.
