The stay was okay and the hotel was clean, but the bed was too soft and uncomfortable. Breakfast was just average and the pastries were too hard. The front desk and restaurant staff didn’t seem friendly or welcoming. The public bath wasn’t clean in the evening with a layer of soap visible on the water. Overpriced..

Conveniently located close to Kyoto train station
Not only is the Rihga Gran just a short walk from Kyoto Station, but close to many interesting shopping complexes and scrumptious restaurants. Good sized rooms plus washing/drying machines, onsen/baths and a great buffet breakfast. Excellent value for money. Recommended.

The Hotel staffs provide exceptional service and staffs are quite good in English and can answer your inquiry with ease.
Room is in good condition, clean and roomy, washroom is quite large and enough spaces for you to put 3 large luggages and 2 hand carry luggages on a deluxe twin bedrooms. The room itself is big enough comparing with other hotel.
The only thing I can complain is that they have only one laundry machine on 5th floor and above, which quite often is fully occupied (woke up at 4 am and finally able to use it)
I love the elegant design right at entrance which is a bonus
Overall very good experience !

The location is excellent as it is near the JR Kyoto Station. There is shopping mall nearby with 3 mins walking distance. Also, the hotel facilities are new and clean. The most important point is that the hotel with foreign staff specking fluent English.
