RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"My husband & I absolutely Loved this place! It was so convenient to everything, the staff was super helpful & there's a bike rental shop across the street so we didn't have to pay for taxi/Uber's all the time to get around. The restaurants were delicious and the bar in the basement was such a vibe, we loved it so much we extended our stay. 10/10 will definitely go back!"
