We stayed here for one night and I love this hotel. The room is modern spacious and very clean. The bathroom was a good size with modern amenities. The hotel itself is pretty well maintained and elegant albeit a little old looking. That being said, everything is clean. The staff was very helpful and the every 10 minute shuttle to... more

A hotel with spacious room and excellent service staffs. The bell girl who brought us to the room even took time to explain to us the hotel services, the things available in the room etc. As we booked the hotel with a special Internet rate, it was really value for money. Fret not about the location as there is timely... more

I stayed for 3 nights with my 2 daughters aged 13 and 10. I found the hotel brilliant in every way. staff, location and room all were fantastic and more than what we were expecting considering it is classed as a 3star hotel. The room was plenty big enough and very luxurious. more

The hotel is within walking distance of the Kyoto train station, and they operate a free shuttle bus that will take you to and from the train station every ten to fifteen minutes. The staff is helpful and very courteous. We loved staying at this hotel, and would definitely stay there again if we ever pay another visit to Kyoto. more

I travelled to Japan on vacation with my husband and we stayed at the Rihga Royal Hotel when we were in Kyoto. We were overall very impressed with this hotel and its level of service. The hotel is about an hour and 15 minutes from the airport in Osaka. That's approximately the time you would have to travel to any... more

Instead of hiring so much staff, the hotel management should invest in updating the hotel. Room I was first assigned (#810) had ed bugs. In both beds. The hotel staff was attentive and got me a different room immediately. The bell boy was apologizing endlessly. Yes, great service that deserves better facility. ocation is very convenient, next to the main... more

We stayed at the Rihga Royal for two nights and was quite happy with the experience. Its about a 10min walk to the station. Print out a map before you leave so that you know which way to go. There is a hotel minibus but it hardly seems worth the hassle! Our room was setup with 4 beds, and still... more

We stayed at this hotel in December last year. This hotel is located about a 5 to 10 minute walk from Kyoto station, which was brilliant for us given we were travelling around the area quite a bit. However, there wasn't much else in the area, which was a bit disappointing. The food at this hotel, as well as at... more

Last year when I went on a school trip and our first stop was at Kyoto, so this was this first hotel we stayed at. It was very clean, the staff were very nice, English is alright because we had to ask them what's our teacher's room and they told us. The items in the room were quite equipped, only... more
