RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto

For our first night in Kyoto, we wanted to go bar-hopping, so we chose the RIHGA Royal Hotel near the station. There is a free Shuttle Service at certain times, but it’s only a 7–8 minute walk.From the welcome to being shown to our Room, the service was excellent.A fully separated bath and toilet is a must for us, so the Japanese-Western style Room was perfect.The bathtub is very spacious—big enough even for men to stretch out. It also fills quickly, which was great. Another plus: two bath towels per person, two face towels per person, and bathrobes.The Room was clean and very well maintained.We checked out early in the morning, and they handled it kindly and smoothly.This is a Hotel I’d love to stay at again.

I stayed here with my daughter and my grandchildren (7 months and 4 years old) for a trip to the Railway Museum. The Japanese-Western style room was spacious enough for our crawling baby to move around comfortably, and the bath was large—there was plenty of room even for all four of us, which made our 4-year-old especially happy. The breakfast area was also relaxed and comfortable. Everything was delicious, with a great variety of fruit, and the kids ate well—we ended up staying longer than planned. Even the baby happily ate tofu. All of the staff were kind and helpful, and we truly appreciated their care.
