The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto

This place was an absolute joy. We booked a Corner room and it was huge by Japan standards. Bathroom had a large soaking tub and a wet room shower. Views from these corner rooms are great, oh and it had a balcony that wrapped the entire length of the room. The lounge on the 2nd floor was great with free alcohol and delicious desserts.

Staff was very kind and respectful. The bed and pillows are extremely comfortable! More so than the known 5 star hotels. The lounge is a very cosy area that increases the quality of the experience overall. The toiletry box is very very complete, great addition! The tube is super close to the hotel, regardless it’s all still walkable to more central areas and close enough to Kyoto station.

I was traveling with my 3yo toddler and we really liked this accommodation as it was closely located to the subway and bus stop that can connect you to other parts of Kyoto. The neighbourhood it was in was also very quiet and there was a family mart across the road, so I was able to purchase snacks. The staff are very friendly, and they were also engaging with my son and we loved the extra bonus that came with our stay such as the afternoon tea at the lounge and the range of teas and snacks available for guests. We also used the washing machine facilities which were easy to use. The rooms were also quiet and cosy.

Location: The Location of the Hotel is very central, right next to a subway Station. Getting to and from the Hotel is very easy. All the sightseeing-Attractions can be reached easily by subway/ JR-Line or foot, even Kyoto Station is only 20 minutes away by foot. Hotel: The Hotel had a welcoming atmosphere, the lobby was clean and open, which i liked. The Lounge Room was really great, with a nice tea time in the afternoon and lovely cakes and a Self-Service Cocktail Bar in the evening. This service was complementary and a really nice bonus to out stay, as we did not expect it. The snacks in the evening were very delicious and carefully selected. The ambiance in the lounge was relaxing, it was calm and soft music was playing. A great bonus was also the onsen, it was very clean and the water had a perfect temperature. After a long day of walking i can only recommend it. Room: Our room had a kingsize bed and floor length windows, which made the room nice and bright. The room itself had a very good size, the bathroom was stylish and clean. The TV offered Youtube, Netflix and many more which made the entertainment in the room easy. The bed was comfortable and the sheets can be changed daily. Amenities: From Shampoo to Toothpaste there were all the amenities offered. Service: The staff was very friendly, kind and helpful. Every interaction was professional and everything was explained well. I am very happy with the service we received. Breakfast: Our booking included the breakfast and i really enjoyed the offered omelette, which the staff prepares for you freshly and brings it to the table. It was delicious. The buffet had a selection of western style breakfast foods that i personally liked. Overall: I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Kyoto. I am very pleased with the experience.

The property was beautiful. It was in the best location. The subway is super close and everything you wanna do is close to the hotel.
