Kyoto Royal Hotel & Spa - Kyoto

What more is there to say;)

Great location but the mentioned above is crucial and in direct conflict with the description.

Right next to the metrostation and the city hall. A very centrally placed hotel with big rooms compared to what you else find in Japan. Clean rooms, but the bathroom and bathtub are quite small. Aircon is working well and very noiseless You live very centrally and close to some of the big things to see in Kyoto. If you want to go further away you can […] always take the metro. Lots of restaurants and huge shopping streets next to the hotel. A good place to stay! Læs mere

This hotel is conviniently located to a lot of the tourist attractions in Kyoto + it is near a subway station. The room was of average size and pretty comfortable.

On the whole a quite pleasant hotel but the one complaint I had was the hardness of the bed(matress) after a hard days sight seeing it was not a comfortable sleep. It was very convenient to walking around central Kyoto and the bus and underground.

Very nice hotel, clean and modern. Great breakfastbuffé. Good location sice itś close to shopping, sightseeing and also subwaystation. There is busstops just outside the hotel that takes you to all the famous places i Kyoto. Would definitely stay here again.

Affordable, well located and clean. Don't miss dining out in the street behind the hotel with the small river: great places there!

Good location for shops, retaurants etc. Staff very helpful, room a bit on the small side.

Very nice and Cosy. First time in Kyoto. Very nicely located, easy access to shopping and dining. Reception staff very helpful in assistance; arranged taxi to send our son Randall Chew to Japan Baptist Hospital as he was very sick on Tuesday, 21st February. Also extended room usage from 11am to 2pm to allow him to rest before returning back to Osaka. […] Will definitely recommend friends to stay here. Thank you very much! Best wishes from Singapore!

Staff are very helpful. Hotel is convenient for sight seeing either by public transportation or on foot.

Very nice hotel and good service

The hotel is located along the most central street of Kyoto and is easily accessed by buses and subway.

Great location, After 50 m you can walk on the pavement with roofs on your head along shops and department stores. About 100m at the back, near the canal begin the Pontocho street , large 2 meters full of restaurants and sometimes of geishas. Less 1km the nightlife of Gion. The Subway 50 m. Around this hotel you see food and restaurants everywhere. […] The Hotel all good , reception, 4 lifts, Large bed and we can turn around. Sheets thick blankets 4 pillows ok . For a 4 stars the rooms are not so big but in Japan ! Tea/coffee makers. Internet in the room with lan cable fast. Bathroom ok not too small with all . Only one problem : for heater/AC only one button for off/L/M/H and the Low gave us too hot, we let the windows open all the night under zero , and the temperature was ok. For a 4 stars hotel we would like to have AC/ heather with the temperature we want. Læs mere

Absolutely great hotel in a fabulous location, near to Pontocho, Gion, Nishiki Market and many temples. Beautiful interior, large rooms, the staff was very helpful and courteous. I would certainly stay here again. My family got a great rate through hotels.com.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for five nights and had a great time in Kyoto. It's a great location, close to shops and places to eat. The only problem we had was that the room would get very hot at night and we didn't have control over our air temperature from the room.

very good location for travelers

We stayed here for 5 nights and wished we could stay longer. Kyoto was lovely and the hotel is conveniently located close to many sights and public transport. The room was big and the bed was very comfortable! Definitely recommend to everyone, especially if you can get discount rate as the full rate is pretty high!

Stayed here early December. Very comfortable hotel. Friendly, helpful staff, Very good location close to Gion, Ponto Cho and the undercover shopping streets around Terramachi and the food markets. Several restaurants nearby as well as a convenience store and a bakery. We were able to walk to Higashiyama to visit temples and view the late Autumn colours. […] Subway station also nearby. No views from room because surrounded by high buildings. Our room was a double and although small everything we needed was supplied and the quality of furniture, bedding and toiletries was very good. Because of downtown location occasional sirens were heard but did not disturb our sleep. Læs mere

We stayed in this hotel for five days. Rooms are very celan, service is excellent. Employees are very nice people, always available to help. Location is excellent. I will stay again in this hotel without doubts

Please refer our review forour stay from 4 Dec - 7 Dec 2011

It is the staff that provides the service that makes the difference. The staff was English speaking, very friedly and helpful. That's why we were consulting the Reception staff for directions/suggestions everyday. On the last day, when we contacted the concerage lady (on 10 /12/2011), for gettingour left luggage and assistance for taxi, she was very […] good in getting the luggage and then ran across to the street to get a taxi for us. We haven't seen that type of willingness to assist the guest anywhere. We are so impressed that we are happy to give highest rating and recommendations. Læs mere

The Royal is an ideally based hotel near the city hall subway station in Kyoto. A short walk from restaurant streets, Gion district, shopping area and the temple area. Two subway stops from the Imperial Palace and two from Nijo-jo Castle. Very easy to get to by subway or walking. Though not cheap, it was very reasonably for a 4-star hotel by Japanese […] standards. Next door to Catholic church. Læs mere

Maybe not the best location for temple hopping, but great for a relaxing and convenient visit to Kyoto. walking distance to a great restaurant selection as well as Gion (a good 30min walk, but still a walk). Service was excellent. Not much of a view from my window but I believe that's common in Japanese city hotels. Didn't try the hotel restaurat simply […] b/c there were so many choices around. Also didn't try the spa b/c it's expensive. Would definitely recommend the hotel. Læs mere

This hotel is located in the heart of the town. It is very well connected to all the attractions by subway and bus lines. The rooms are a bit small and feels very crowded. But that must be the case in many Japanese hotels as I have heard. It will be nice to have the breakfast included in the cost of the hotel room. If not it is rather expensive to have […] to pay 2700 yen each day for breakfast, especially when there are options of going out for a fulfilling breakfast at nearby bakeries for 750 yen. Læs mere

The room was very small and had no view except the courtyard. Our suitcases just fitted next to the bed and the bathroom was very small and basic too. The hotel needs a renovation, the hallways smell of smoke. Service and breakfast are ok. Overall we were disappointed by this hotel and would not recommend it. Although perfectly located in downtown […] Kyoto, there must be better value for money options around. Læs mere

Whilst the staff appeared to speak minimal English, or at least seemed content with my minimal Japanese, everyone was extraordinarily obliging. Not one but two members of staff carried our luggage up to our room for us. The room was clean and stylish, the sheets were made from a good cotton. The hotel is easily accessible by bus but fifteen minutes […] away from the closest subway. Its within walking distance of the palace, the city museum, Gion and several excellent shopping districts. Læs mere

It was our first part of the trip to Japan. The room was clean and had a king bed. The staff helpful and very nice, you could buy the daily bus pass there, which made it easy to travel around. The location is good, at the end of a shopping and restaurant street, very convenient.

This hotel is very well located. The staff were friendly and efficient. Air conditioning was quiet and rooms were restful - well recieved when arriving with jet lag. In comparison to european hotels space allocated to rooms is less. This is in keeping with norms in Japan however. would highly recommend

The hotel is located within walking distance to the subway station and opposite are bus stops with buses which conveniently go to the attractions and Kyoto JR station. Near to the hotel are convenience stores and eating places. Rooms are big in Japan standards. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We stayed here for 8 nights and had a wonderful experience. The staff spoke pretty good English and could help you navigate to the sights you want to see. The room was a good size (deluxe double) by Japanese standards. The bathroom was very clean and essential toiletries are provided. The only downside to the room was that it face the other side of […] the hotel (view of the building). It wasn't a big deal to us, because we were barely there, but you may want to request a city view if that's important to you. The hotel is located in a great area with tons of shops and restaurants (never had a bad meal!). There is a convenient bus stop half a block away - the best way to see the sights and get around Kyoto. There is also a convenience close by so you can stock up on tasty snacks. The library bar had happy hour with great drink specials every night. A great hotel for the money in Kyoto!! Læs mere

My son and I stayed one night and enjoyed our stay very much. Not a big room (as usual at most Japanese hotels) but was comfy. We wanted to visit the Imperial Palace and the taxi fare from the hotel was less than 1000 yen. The hotel offered a dinner buffet for 2,500 yen per person. The buffet was great and we especially liked the seafood section. The […] dining room was on the ground floor facing the street and was only separated from the street by a big glass wall, so we felt like we were dining in an outdoor cafe (without the hot and humid air of the summer, of course).

Nice hotel in a very central position. The staff is very helpful. Reccomended

Hotel was under rennovation when we were there. But they didn't specified that when I was booking! The beds were terribly HARD. If you are looking to get a rest, don't stay in this hotel. But these things aside, the location is great and service is not too bad.

We were very lucky to get this hotel at a great price. Our timing was just right. The hotel is situated right in the main drag of shops. We arrived by bus from Nagoya and just hopped on a local bus from the bus terminal and a few stops later were at the front of the hotel. The hotel was very comfortable and had all we needed in the room including Kimonas […] to change into. From the hotel it was very easy to walk or bus to all the sights.You can buy a day pass on the bus which covers all the areas you need to visit in Kyoto Læs mere

There are a lot of shops and supermarkets within walking distance, very close to Metro station. There are also shopping street nearby. The door is not tight or thick enough. It is very clear to hear people talking in the corridor in the night.
