The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto

Lovely design, great location, very nice lounge with friendly and courteous staff. In-house bathing facilities were a plus. Spotlessly clean. We would definitely recommend this hotel and intend to stay again.

The Royal Park Hotel was one of the best Hotels we have stayed in and we have stayed in many. The staff were magnificent, very helpful and knowledgeable. Rooms were lovely and inviting. One thing that you do need when you are busy sightseeing all day is a comfy bed and the beds were great, drifting off to sleep was very easy. Happy Hour was great in the evenings, a lovely lounge to wind down after a busy day and meet other like minded travellers. The Hotel was central to many things and most were walking distance. When we come back to Kyoto will definitely be staying again. Loved it!

Excellent location, whether it's to make use of public transport or to explore the city on foot. The hotel situates about 5min walk from the junction (Karasuma Oike) of the 2 metro lines in Kyoto, and is easily accessible when travelling by bus as well. The Kamo River is about 20 - 25min on foot. Service was great, and reliable. We could always find someone to help when in need. Many chic hotels may show great pictures, but the true essence of service is to be waited on, and not to be kept waiting for service. Here we were pampered. The breakfast was either American or Japanese. The quantity was just right. Though food variety may be repetitive, we actually found it quite convenient as we did not have to bother with many choices. The room was spacious, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The package we booked included lounge access in 3 time slots per day, a real haven after some exploration in the city.

Great location next to the subway so could get around Kyoto easily.The room was large and comfortable they had a laundry and I liked the fact you could view how long was left on each machine as there were inky 2 and obviously were in demand. There was no breakfast but you had complimentary afternoon snacks and evening snacks including free beers, coffee orange juice plus nuts and a selection of their specialties

Very central location, accessible by subway very easily. Plenty of delicious breakfast and dinner option in a 5min walking radius from the hotel. Staff was also very friendly and super caring (getting us a cab, reservations, etc.). Great 5pm snacks and drink on the house in the lounge area, perfect to get the evening started!
