Dry nice and central - service in restaurants somewhat questionable - lots get “lost in transaltion”
Early morning cycle tour really great and worth doing!!
Excellent superb service by every single member of the staff . This particular ritz Carlton should be recategorized as a 7 star hotel (if there is not such a rating , one should be started) instead of 5 star. This property deserves all the praise and then some - especially their staff and service.
A beautiful property combines the Japanese traditional charm with modern amenities and comfort. Staff exceptionally helpful and providing highest level of service. I cannot recommend this hotel enough .. it is an experience to be enjoyed

In the true Ritz-Carlton tradition, the R-C Kyoto upholds the highest standards of customer service and provides a 5 star facility. We asked for help from the concierge regarding a tour guide and what to see and he responded with great advice and helped us make a great connection.
I will rate this hotel as 4.5 stars rather than perfect 5 stars. The minor complaints are the breakfast and the location. The Japanese breakfast here is not as flavorful as the one I have in Tokyo (another 5 stars hotel). The location is far away from high end shopping malls and the surrounding area looks like a very average neighborhood.
This hotel doesn’t have what other hotels have of this quality…they don’t have shuttles, they don’t have complimentary coffee or tea, or really Anything complimentary…this is a very formal hotel, we will not stay here again very disappointed.
Las personas del staff son los más amables del mundo.
MIDORI muchas gracias por llevar el peluche "gucci" que olvidó mi hija hasta Osaka.
Muchas gracias por todas sus atenciones.
Esperamos volver a verlos pronto.
