"We were very disappointed to be informed by the hotel that all indoor and outdoor onsen were completely closed. We were not informed at all upon the booking or else, before our check in date. If we knew the onsen were closed, we could have look for an alternative. When we asked for an explanation from the reception staff about the closing of onsen, his explanation came to be shockingly offensive, he said because we had booked for “a cheap price ’"

"Clean rooms and great staff. Breakfast was fantastic as well, well worth it"

RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, not too far from the train station, but because of the heat, it was a bit unbearable to walk with luggages. They actually provide a shuttle from the train station to the hotel, which we found out after the fact. The hotel is very nice and had a modern feel to it. My favorite was their breakfast. We had a choice to either go to the buffet, which had amazing selections of both International and Japanese food or go to the rotating restaurant with amazing view that serves international breakfast. We tried both during our stay and loved it very much. I would go back and stay there again."

"Excellent location, very clean and spacious room."
