Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto

We stay at this hotel for its convenience to our business meeting and the Kyoto station. The shuttle to and from the hotel is very good. It is a reliable place to stay with clean, comfortable rooms and nice staff. We don't really eat here because we are busy elsewhere, but have had breakfast in the past and it is good. I have stayed here over 10 times. You can walk from the station to the hotel, but if you have bags, the shuttle is the way to go.

They are pretty strict with the 2pm check in. In all my stays, I have never been able to get in a room early. They are always nice about taking your bags, but it is kind of annoying that there is never any rooms ready when you get there at 1pm. But again, they are always nice about your bags and when you can check in, it is done quickly.

The location was great and 4 minutes from the station. The breakfast at the top of Kyoto is great.

The front desk staff were not friendly and a little rude. However, the guest relations desk were very helpful.
