We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It's close to the downtown area and the bus stop is just a couple of minutes walk from the hotel taking us to various tourist spots. The subway station is also close to the hotel. The room was very clean. The staff were very polite and helpful. We appreciate the free drinks and snacks during the happy hours everyday. Thanks for a great stay.

Although the hotel is only about a 10-minute walk from Shijo Kawaramachi, the hotel lobby is large, the hotel staff is very good, and the hotel is very new. The lobby restaurant offers free snacks and sake from 5 to 8 o'clock every day, and there is a supermarket downstairs in the hotel that is open until 12 o'clock in the evening. However, those who drive themselves need to park in the parking lot opposite the hotel. The hotel does not provide free parking. But I will stay in this hotel again next time I go to Kyoto.

The hotel is very high-end. Four service staff assisted us on the day. There is a supermarket downstairs and it takes five minutes to walk to Shijo Kawara. The location is very good. It is in a quiet area in the city center and is very convenient to go anywhere. There is a happy hour in the afternoon and you can taste wine. I personally think the breakfast is worth the money.

Thank you again for choosing our hotel among many hotels in Kyoto.
Thank you very much for your kind comments on our rooms and breakfast. With the concept of "relaxed Kyoto cuisine" and "Kyoto Italian cuisine" with a touch of fashion, our hotel has prepared a variety of Kyoto-related menus, including a variety of sousagi and dishes using Kyoto ingredients. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our breakfast, which is a buffet style and you can choose your favorite dishes, which the restaurant staff carefully prepared for you.
We will not be proud of your praise, and we will continue to work hard to ensure that your stay with us is always a pleasant one.
Finally, thank you very much for your review. We look forward to seeing you again.

The hotel is located about 8 minutes' walk from the subway exit, which is OK in winter. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the hotel to Shijo Kawaramachi Shopping Street. There is a supermarket downstairs that opens at 12 am, which is very convenient and has many choices. There is another 24-hour supermarket a few minutes before the departure. There is a bus stop downstairs from the hotel.
The room is big enough, the hotel staff is nice, and the place is clean

Facilities: Very good, the lobby is on the third floor, the restaurant and the lounge area are connected, the hotel laundry room and dryer are also available, and the bathroom conditions are also good; the only problem is that I didn't find bath salts in the self-service area (other Richmonds, such as the Richmond Premium in the Skytree, have them), and I didn't find the refrigerator. I don't know if I neglected it.
Hygiene: Very good, basically nothing to complain about
Environment: Very good, both the lobby and the interior layout and decoration of the room are very new, very distinctive, and comfortable to look at
Service: The service is warm and thoughtful, and the hotel staff will take the initiative to provide drinks and snacks, which is good
Meals: Breakfast is 3,850 yen per adult. Although the price is high, it is worth the money. The ingredients are of good quality and diverse. In addition, the hotel has free drinks and snacks from afternoon to 9 pm, and free alcohol from 5 pm to 8 pm (I didn't enjoy it this time due to time conflicts). It is recommended to choose a reservation with meals. If you want to have brunch, it is highly recommended to try

The public area is beautiful and the room size is suitable. If you have the conditions, you must try their breakfast, which is very cost-effective. The unlimited supply of strawberries alone is full of sincerity.
The only drawback is that the check-in is very slow and you have to wait until three o'clock... But this is the case in Japanese hotels

It's a really good hotel. The facilities are very new and the service is very good. I suggest buying breakfast on the platform. There are both Japanese and Western food. It costs 3850 yen. English is basically barrier-free, and there is also a Chinese version of the check-in explanation document for you to see.
The executive lounge seems to be available in all rooms. There are not many types, but there are ham and cheese, which is good for drinking.
The hotel is relatively green (a common problem in Japanese hotels), but this one can make you feel comfortable and has everything you should have.
The transportation is very close to the bus station, which is very convenient to go to Nijo Castle, Kamo River, and Yasaka Shrine. The subway is a little far, but it can also be reached in five minutes on foot, so it is also easy to go to Fushimi Inari Taisha.
The entire hotel design is full of sincerity, and you can find many small surprises of the designer. For example, the missing gate 🤪
The room is still not big, but the box can definitely be opened, and a few photos of the lobby are put to make up for it.
I will definitely stay there next time!
