Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto Reviews

Free shuttle bus from hotel to Kyoto Station if you are carrying luggage, walking distance to Kyoto station.

The location is very good, close to Kyoto hotel and the room also big. Also I like the shuttle bus service. However, the facilities are not very friendly, since you have to pay extra fee for each activity, like swimming pool, spa and so on. Also. Spa only for man but didn’t have one for woman. All the facilities close at 6 pm. So if I wanted to use it after a long day, it’s impossible.

This hotel has shuttle bus from kyoto station to hotel starting from 9 am to 7 pm. They also have water and ice dispenser available at each floor. Although the toilet is smart but still not very comfortable.

The hotel is a bit far from the JR station, around 10 minutes' walk, but there is a free shuttle bus service provided by the hotel. The hotel room is clean and big.

Lovely clean hotel a short walk (or free shuttle) to kyoto station). All was good. Very fast wifi and comfortable beds. Excellent breakfast either downstairs or in the revolving restaurant. The only oddity was the swimming pool and gym which had restricted usage hours and required payment on top! Was not worth it and even if it was the unusual hours of operation made it unfeasible. Would stay again though unless I really needed the gym and pool.

Very clean and all the staffs are friendly. 7 min walk from the Kyoto station. We used the free shuttle bus when we go to Kyoto station from our hotel:) Very convenient because it comes every 20 minutes. Also, if you miss the shuttle there is a bus stop near by (3 min walk).

I think this hotel service was very good,I think I will live in this hotel next time!

Nice business hotel located near Kyoto station. The hotel provides shuttle service to Kyoto station which makes it very convenient for those with kids and big luggages.

Good location. 8 mins walk to JR Kyoto west or central exit. Option for full house keeping or limited housekeeping.

Overall was okay, a bit far from Kyoto staion. But, hotel has shuttle bus every 20 mins and make it more convenient. Service and amenities were nice. The worst part was humidity of the room and cleanliness (quite low compared to Japanese standard), plus bedsheets were smelly.

Hotel was very clean and furnished in Modern theme. Value for money with good spreads of buffet breakfast.-

Luxurious accommodation in Kyoto

The hotel is a bit business style and the TV in the room is quite small. The hotel comes with swimming pool but you need to pay extra to use the amenities (about $10-20 per person). We felt the locals (taxi driver for example) aren't really welcoming foreigners (English speaking) and might act a bit rude, but besides that, the town is quieter than Osaka and we enjoyed dining at Yakiniku Yaruki - Shijo Kawaramachi (all you can eat BBQ with wagyu beef).

Everything is good about this hotel. Although the nearest station is about 10 minutes away, they do provide shuttle service from hotel to Kyoto Station every 20 minutes.
