Kyoto hotels

Hotel location is close to Kyoto train station and the new Aeon Shopping Mall. The mattress is as firm as it gets. I had difficulty sleeping on my side or back. The hotel configuration is not suitable if your room is situated far from the elevator. It seems the elevator is at one end of hotel and our room at the opposite end. Hotel is U-shaped and we walked liked 200 meters to the elevators.

Simple. Clean. Very good access to JR Station. Fast wifi connection.

We were a group of 5 adults traveling throughout Japan. The Kyoto Royal Hotel offered great convenience, but the rooms are very basic and smaller, and the bed cozy for me and my 6'3" husband. The concierge was absolutely very accomodating, but there was a bit of a language barrier, so just be sure to ask a lot of questions to ensure you understand! I would return there. Good value. Huge breakfast buffet.

One of the few hotels where the staff speak English. Extremely friendly/helpful staff. Close to a subway station and Gion district for shopping/food. Nice bathroom products.

Clean room, spa service was excellent! Staff was super helpful. Convenient location.

I stayed at The Kyoto Royal Hotel and Spa for my first trip overseas as well as my first trip to Japan. Some of the cultural differences where noted such as heights of sinks, counter tops, and showers. The room I stayed in had a Double Semidouble-deluxe bed. It was in fact 1 bed and was comparable to a full/queen size. I thought there would be two. The bed could sleep for two I suppose. The room I had was just enough to accommodate myself. Seeing as I am a minimalist and being a lone traveler, this worked out fine for me. The hotel is right next to a subway station, river walk, and market the next block over. I highly recommend getting the breakfast buffet included with your room. It is totally worth it! The Prandina does a excellent job with both food and staff. Food is excellent with a wide variety of choices. You have the option to eat local foods or foods that you would eat if you were back home. The food presentation is wonderful and is replenished very quickly. Hotel staff is very friendly and are very professional. Hotel staff also opens doors for you when getting out of the taxi! No need to walk far for access to transit or taxis, Taxis are ready available once outside the hotel lobby and bus stops are right outside the hotel as well. You will just need to know what bus or train to take (research that to death before you go! It can be overwhelming and you will probably get lost at some point). I believe bike rental is available at the front desk as I saw the same bikes everyday. I did have a local friend visit me daily as I toured the city. She traveled by bike and the hotel stored her bike in their storage free of charge while we were out in a separate location from the fore mentioned bikes. Also, if you are flying back home from any of the Osaka Airports, the hotel can request for a shuttle service to pick you from the hotel up to 1 day prior by 12:00 noon at a cost to you, which you must pay the driver at the time of pick up, The cost will vary by service provided and service rendered. I do hope this review is helpful to someone and, Yes! I will stay there again on my next trip to Kyoto, Japan.

Great location and clean room Tiny room

The Staff was very polite and helpfull.

Excellent hotel, clean, modern. Concierge was very helpful. Internet was free and reasonably fast. Location is a little away from the main sites to see but relatively close to Kyoto station. Overall, excellent place to stay. Please do not bring your kids here. The entire hotel was generally excellent for adults, business travelers, solo travelers, romantic getaways. Exception was that there was one family with possibly the only children in the hotel running/stomping around. Not appropriate. Please don't bring your children, this is not Disneyland, or at least keep your children under better control.
