Hotels With Wifi in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

I was initially concerned about the walk to the subway station, but to my pleasant surprise, there was a bus stop right downstairs from the hotel. Direct buses to major attractions (like Sannenzaka/Ninenzaka, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Nijo Castle, Kyoto Imperial Palace, and the Tamako Market filming location) were readily available, running every ten minutes. This made getting around incredibly convenient, and I didn't take the subway at all during my four-day stay in Kyoto, relying entirely on buses. Since I tend to tire out quickly, I would return to the hotel to rest after visiting each attraction, ending up going back and forth to the hotel three times a day. In the evenings, after dinner, I enjoyed leisurely strolls back to the hotel from the Kamo River. It truly made for a very relaxed and unhurried trip. Both Nishiki Market and Kyoto Daimaru are within comfortable walking distance. That area is indeed a bustling part of Kyoto, where a straight walk down one street can lead you to the Kamo River, Yasaka Shrine, and Gion Hanamikoji, offering a plethora of restaurants and bars. The room features a separate entryway. Inside, there's a sliding door that can be closed at night to enhance sound insulation, though the room's soundproofing was already excellent; I couldn't hear a single sound. The bathroom has a wet/dry separation, and both the toilet and shower areas were impeccably clean. The most thoughtful gesture was when I accidentally threw a broken umbrella into the trash; the housekeeping staff noticed it, retrieved it, and left it neatly beside the bin. Whenever I encountered cleaning staff in the hallway, they were always very polite and greeted me with a smile. The lobby offered complimentary self-serve lemonade, coffee, and matcha. Overall, a very satisfying stay.

The rooms are typically small, but the hygiene is excellent. You can do your laundry, but getting a slot is tough; I suggest going early in the morning for the wash and dry, though I could never wake up that early myself. The hotel's location is good, with a direct bus to Kyoto Station. There's no breakfast, but you can grab a meal at Sukiya right outside, which is pretty good value for money. If the hotel were a bit cheaper, it would be great, but for weekend prices, I'd probably look elsewhere.

Our second stay here was quite a rollercoaster! 1. Even though it was pricier than a standard room, the hotel provided a larger room with four beds as requested, so the kids didn't have to worry about mom and dad not being around at night. (Happy 😊) 2. We noticed the Shinkansen (bullet train) noise was a bit loud at night, and the children had trouble sleeping until after midnight when it quieted down. (Concerned 😞) 3. The next morning, the hotel front desk promptly helped us switch to a lower-floor room on the other side, where the noise would be much less. Since they needed to set up four beds, we agreed to check in around 6 PM. (Happy 😊) 4. However, when we returned to the hotel at 8 PM the next day, we found only two beds. It seemed like they might have forgotten to arrange the extra beds. (Uh-oh 🥲) 5. After realizing the issue, the front desk promptly upgraded us to a huge room on the top floor (one level up) for free! (Excited 😆) 6. Room 124, the new one, was fantastic, though we did find a previous guest's small handkerchief behind the curtain. (Awkward 🤦) Overall, it's still a pretty good hotel with excellent staff. We've stayed here two years in a row when visiting Kyoto, so I can definitely recommend it.

This hotel deserves only an excellent mark. The hotel is situated just one metro station from Kyoto Central Station, which is very convenient. The metro station is just 100 meters away from the hotel entrance. The hotel is surrounded by a lovely park. When I arrived, there was a book fair—lots of cheerful students, kiosks with different types of food, etc. Additionally, there is a Starbucks café and a 24/7 FamilyMart next door. The Hotel offers a laundry self-service. Theare are washing mashines with a drying fuction on the 2nd floor. The front desk personnel are very polite and speak English well. When I arrived in the morning, the manager offered to store my luggage before check-in time. When I entered my room, I instinctively checked if it was really a 4-star hotel, because it looked like a real 5-star hotel—spacious room with design details, a spacious bathroom unlike other Japanese hotels, and other features that make the room look luxurious (check the photos). Additionally, I would like to point out the perfectly working air ventilation. Unlike other Japanese hotels, which have air conditioning in the rooms, this hotel has supply ventilation that works very gently—no sound, no ice-cold drafts, just a soundless flow of fresh air. I believe that the Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Umekoji is a perfect place to stay in Kyoto.

Nice room with small space ! We love the location! Walkable to the main Kyoto station! * There's no Lobby and space for deposit the luggages you need to use coin locker outside till the check-in time! Because at the check-in counter it should be Lobby but they do the gift shop. For us everything was ok but only just the luggages issue! And highly recommend for everyone who traveling with small luggages ^^ enjoy Kyoto guys!

Loved this cozy and delightful capsule hostel. It’s just north of Nijo Castle and about a 15 min walk to the closest subway station. (Local not a JR Station) It’s about a 15 min walk from the Kyoto Palace and Gardens - just continue down the main road that fronts the premises. The deluxe cabin rooms are tucked away in the Basement level for additional quiet and privacy. There are multiple floors with capsule beds and shared bathroom facilities. There’s a laundry and common room on the 6th floor. Guests can grab all their essentials from the Family Mart or 7-Eleven just a 3 mins stroll from the front door. They also have ATMs and copying facilities. The staff are helpful and can speak reasonably good English. There is a wall of maps for major attractions close by. Loved the experience and will gladly recommend and return

Our absolute favorite hotel in Kyoto, Japan – we were extremely satisfied! Meals were super convenient with a convenience store and supermarket right outside the door, which we visited daily. The subway station was just a five-minute walk away. The hotel's hot spring was its most unique feature; it's so rare to find a hotel with one. We'll definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Kyoto.

Please be aware of the staff who ask for cash payment for the hotel's tax when you check in. We paid by cash, but my credit card was charged again. I informed the hotel manager about it and told them to check the CCTV for the dishonest staff, but they didn't take any action about it. How can you feel safe and for your personal belongings if you're staying at a hotel that hires dishonest staff and the hotel manager is not taking action to the staff who's scamming the customer? Don't be a victim!

It was quite a walk from the main station but there is a bus stop nearby so it’s not that bad. There were convenience stores and a whole street of food just right outside the hotel which made dining out very convenient. The staff was nice and the interior was clean and neat too. Just to note the air was really dry so do consider bringing a portable humidifier if you’re sensitive with that. They also do housekeeping once every 3 days but you can just ask them for new towels and leave your rubbish outside your door for them to clear!

This was our favourite hotel in Japan. The location is very central to Kyoto, but did not feel too crowded and overwhelming. It was very easy to get around Kyoto from this hotel, with a lot of train stations close by. The room was clean and bigger than most hotels I’ve stayed in during my trip to Japan. The finishes of the room are just gorgeous. It really feels like luxury. The smart TVs were a nice touch too. The amenities of the spa were really good, and I loved the extra feeling of security knowing women receive a women only key card and men receive a separate one. Nice touch having washers, dryers and vending machines too. The staff are kind and polite and are more than happy to assist you. Although I did find the self check-in a bit confusing - some translations were a bit off. Regardless, I really recommend this hotel.
