The breakfast was exceptional! Japanese breakfast was very good! Rooms are not too small and everything was very good!

Stayed in August 2024

There was some pavement repair work for one of the nights we stayed, so there was a bit noise yet for that night only. The neighbourhood can get crowded when it comes to festival (Matsuri) days, so bear that in mind when you come during festive seasons.

It is the second RIHGA Place hotel we stayed in for our trip. Compared to the last one, this one in Kyoto is even more central in location (hidden right inside Shijo-Karasuma), with only a few steps away from all the pubs and cafes. Plenty of choices when it comes to dining. The room is clean, standard in size for RIHGA Place The staff is very nice and helpful.

Lack of a wardrobe.

Nice atmosphere and the location.

You can only use the TV if you pay extra. I don't have a problem with that, but I think it should be clearly advertised as such before booking. When we requested an extra night the evening-shift staff wasn't able to help us much, we had to wait until the day to complete the new booking with other staff. No water is provided throughout the stay.

The location is great, the place is well equipped and very stylish.

The breakfast is traditional Japanese cousine which is very hard to eat for vegetarian, not great variety

Clean hotel with great stuff and decent price

Stayed in June 2024

Nothing really to mention here. Our room was a bit small but acceptable and possibly the view from the window wasn't excellent.

Location is very good, pretty close to everything. The hotel was elegant and well kept. Our room nice and clean. The staff very kind and helpful. Breakfast was amazing, probably the best part of our stay at the hotel.

Great hotel, new and very well setup. Close to transport. The bar next door was great too (Gion Craft Beer). Staff very friendly and helpful. Had everything we needed

Shops and sight seeing were all reasonably close, the hotel itself is absolutely beautiful! They have a cute little restaurant inside as well (we didn’t eat in but it looked lovely) the bed was comfortable and big so plenty of room for my husband and I. I highly recommend this place if you visit Kyoto, staff are super lovely as well!

The staff is very welcoming and pleasant. Breakfast was very tasty, although they only serve Japanese cuisine. The location of the hotel is excellent, the metro is in the immediate vicinity, and the main attractions are a 25-minute walk away.

The breakfast was terrible. They have a menu based on rice and have nothing else. No western options available, not even some fruit or yogurt, just onigiris, rice bread, rice porridge, some chicken and fish…it was very heavy, specially for 4 days straight having the same.

The hotel’s location is great, it’s very close to a metro station, two stops away from Kyoto station and a walking distance from places like Pontocho alley. Its is very modern and clean, with a big TV on the room. Room size was good.

Limited number of restaurants nearby but we found a favourite only 5 mins walk away; go down to the main road turn left and it's a few door down on the left. It is around a 30 min walk to get to the Gion area, or take a bus/taxi

A nice hotel in a convenient position for the metro from the main train station; also plenty of busses available nearby. Be aware at the nearest metro exit there is a long run of steps, quite a struggle with a heavy case but there is an elevator available although tricky to find. There is a nice spacious reception area with charming and helpful staff. The rooms, as expected, were small but did have a window looking out at another window! The beds were wide and comfortable and everything was very clean. Very limited storage, as expected for the price and location. Good bathroom with a decent sized shower. We especially liked the Japanese style breakfast, lots of choice and an opportunity to try local food. The lady in charge was delightful and clearly took a pride in the food and presentation.
