RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto

It’s a very nice looking hotel with great rooms. We had laundry done two times and it worked well. They have a shuttle bus during the day that takes you to and from Kyoto train station. The staff were lovely.

I like the buffet continental breakfast with different Japanese and Continental breakfast to choose from. We love the location, just 1km from Kyoto Station. And the bus transfer service to the train service was an excellent conveniwnt way for pixkup and dropoff at the station. We love the spacious room and comfortable beds! We had a restful sleep.

The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout. There was an ice machine and drinking water refill station on each floor which was fantastic! The rooms were a very good size with a lot of amenities. The fitness suite was a little bit small but had all the main equipment needed for a good workout and the swimming pool and jacuzzi were excellent. The location was excellent with most large tourist sights within 1hr by public transport or 30mins by taxi, Kyoto station was less than a 10min walk and there was always at least 1 taxi at the front door. The luggage transport system in Japan is a fantastic tool which I will be looking for on other holidays now.

Friendly, accommodating staff, great pool, great breakfast and love the rotating restaurant at the top! Water fill stations available and complimentary bottles each day. Convenient shuttle service to/from nearby train station.

Breakfast was good. There was a line to the top floor restaurant, but to the buffet we could walk in. Location close to the train station worked very well. Indoor pool was very refreshing after a long day of walking
