Perfect base for our four night stay in Kyoto, very close to the station and shopping, but very quiet. We would definitely stay again if we returned to the area.

We love that the hotel has a shuttle service to and from the train station altho' we used it just once because getting taxis was easy. We also used the hotel to sleep in as we had very little time in Kyoto. We arrived at the hotel close to 4pm, dropped our luggage and went to the Torii Gates, and spent a lot of our time at the lovey Kyoto Train Station. We left by 7am ff. morning as we have a plane to catch in Narita. The hotel met all our needs.

This is our 3rd time staying at this hotel. I love this hotel because of the locations and the big bath rooms. Beautiful hotel! But the floor is really thin (that’s most of the Japanese hotel and apartment buildings.) so we heard people walking, baby running. But other than that, we are very happy with our stay and we will be back again next fall!

The hotel and staff very helpful. Hotel was in a good place for the main train station if using bullet trains etc. Bit of a walk/taxi to centre. Hotel was great other than i did feel if you are a guest of the hotel you should not have to pay for the pool as an extra.

Room did not look like photos - booked a room with 4 proper beds but was given a room with 2 beds and 2 mattresses on the floor for the kids. Understand that this is traditional for Japan but was not what we booked.

Never having been to Japan, we didn’t know what to expect of Japanese hotels. The Rihga Royal was exceptional. The staf. Was courteous and helpful. The room was clean and modern and the bed very comfortable. We paid for breakfast with the room and dined almost every morning in the revolving restaurant on the top of the hotel. Spectacular views and great food. I highly recommend it. Most guests ate at the buffet on the first floor (more food selection) and missed out on a great experience. Great staff and great value. I would stay here again.

It’s a big hotel. I liked the train station free shuttle, it was super convenient to catch the busses into the city from the station. The staff is not the friendliest. There was something cold about each and every staff member I interacted with. I was disappointed in the pool. It doesn’t state on their website that you pay extra for it. The reason I mainly booked the hotel was for the pool so my child can use it. I had to make reservations for it and it cost about $7US dollars for an adult and about $5 for a child. My room was small and did not look big like in the photo of it. There are restaurants nearby and a family mart as well. It wasn’t so bad, but I definitely regretted not getting something closer to the city.
