“Will definitely return”
This is a lovely hotel. Location is excellent, very close to JR train line. They offer a free shuttle from the train station. Deluxe Rooms are clean and spacious. Walking distance to Higashi Honwangji Temple. Also walking distance to great shopping plaza Aeon.
“Hotel with good service and polite staffs”
The room we stayed is newly renovated and is very clean. Lots of restaurants are near the Kyoto JR station, which means ~5 -10 minutes of walk! Hotel shuttle is until 9pm.
“WiFi Dead Zone”
The hotel was excellent except that there was no WiFi access in the hotel room or lobby. I only travel with an iPad now so the wired internet connection in the room was of no use. It isn't an issue of cost, it's really just access.
“Good Location”
This hotel was a short walk to Kyoto Station where we could conveniently catch a train, bus or taxi to the various tourist spots. This hotel even has a shuttle bus to/from the station so if you have luggage or lots of purchases it is a convenient way to get to the hotel. They need free WI FI! Free WI-FI helps us locate more places to visit/shop and thus more money into their economy.
“Good value for money in Kyoto”
Rihga Royal in Kyoto is located walking distance (10 minutes) from Central Station in Kyoto, which is the main hub of all public transport in this traditional Japanese city. If one cannot walk, the hotel runs a convenient shuttle service, departing from the back of the station building. Cost is very reasonable for Japan and rooms are fairly small but comfortable. Personnel are extremely polite and helpful, as in most other places in Japan.
“Very nice, and I will go back”
This is my second time staying at Rihga Royal Kyoto. And everything was as I expected, the quality of the service from staff, and the cleanness of the room.
“Must pay for the pool”
Great service! Condition is best described as well-used. They charge an arm and a let to use the pool - which was a surprise to us, and a grave disappointment for our kids!!
“Good value, Good location”
The hotel is a great value and has a convienent location by means of its complimentary train station shutlle. Not the most up to date hotel but certainly clean and well staffed.
“Good choice near Kyoto station”
Large, comfortable room by Japanese standards . Well-appointed hotel walking distance from Kyoto station. And there is a shuttle as well. No Wifi - paid, wired internet. Bed is a little stiff - but comfortable enough. Electronic toilet seats marked in Japanese (little scared to try all the features!) I would try to reserve there first next time.
“good hotel”
This hotel was very well run. They went out of their way to meet whatever needs you had, very service oriented.
