Arashiyama Observation Deck Tours and Activities

Nice place, good location

2nd time stay in this property. There is a stark different of standards since last year. I miss the free USB cable though!

Buffet breakfast was not very good considering price. I was excited about the sashimi and rice option, but only the raw salmon and crab were palatable. The coffee and espresso was also just okay. My son liked the meat sauce pasta and the soft serve ice cream. Pumpkin flakes were a nice touch. I wish they had tofu. The laundry situation was also very unpleasant. They only have 3 machines that are confusing and hard to use. You also have yo buy laundry detergent for 50 yen at the front desk, which is not clear until you ask. Expect a wait for an empty machine. The room is also horribly hot and on display in front of the reception room. The bed was reasonably comfortable and the tv entertainment opitons were excellent. The hot spring was smaller than i thought, and a bit crowded but a decent quality. I hated the polyester type pajamas. I would have preferred a typical cotton yukata option. Parking attendents for vertical parking tower were nice.
