Pros: The rooms are a good size (for Japan) and well serviced. The location is excellent.
Cons: The reception staff were not helpful when we experienced a problem with our membership card. They seemed unable or unwilling to resolve the issue which left us wondering why they bothed to have a membership program at all. The whole experience resulted in our seriously questioning if we will stay with the chain again.

Pros: Great hotel in a great location. Only a couple of minutes walk from the subway station. Perfect for visiting the local area but also ideal for visits to Nara and Inari. The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was spotless. There are numerous cafes and restaurants within walking distance if you do not want to eat at the hotel. We would definitely stay here (or at other Royal Park hotels) in the future.

Not sure what does that means. Had stayed in different hotels in Kansai and only this hotel collect extra money. Is not a big sum of money but just caught you unaware.

One morning since we forgot to charge one of the two Handi phones, the manager let us borrow a fully charged Handi phone for the day. Another day my daughter left her shopping bag of new shoes on a bus, and the manager contacted the bus company who then had my daughter's shopping bag waiting for us at the bus station office the next day. Easy to get on the subway right outside the hotel. Enjoyed the beautiful interior design of both the rooms and bathrooms, plus the coffee, tea and snacks refreshed each day.

Pros: This hotel was wonderful. It's location was fantastic.. only a 5 minute walk to the best areas by the river restaurants and not too far to other amazing sites. The staff were unbelievably polite and helpful and courteous. The subway stop in the building itself make traveling to places like the Bamboo forest so easy. We had to leave super early on our last morning so we took a cab to the train station and this was not too expensive and fast. The hotel has an elegance of a by gone era while still having all the modern conveniences. Weddings take place below in some ballrooms but it still has a small hotel feel. Everything is so lovely. The beds were super comfortable and the sheets were luxurious making a good night's sleep after so much walking around. Everyone there made us feel welcome and special and were only too happy to make our vacation a great one. Overall an outstanding experience. Thank you!

Cons: Everything and everyone was amazing! The room was good. But a bit small for two people with luggage. Bidet toilet seat, comb, brush, toothbrushes, ... Even a razor for men was available in a well stocked bath tray in the room. The only issue was that they had everything except cream/lotion. We were surprised at that. Perhaps Japanese people don't use body lotion?!

Pros: Spacious room on 12th floor with good view. the room was clean. the restaurant was very good - we had dinner there once and I had an excellent steak. We walked about 20-25 minutes from Kyoto main station to the place. a number of restaurants are in the area. overall it is easy to get around from there. this was the best hotel during our Japan stay.
Cons: Breakfast is very expensive (about 100 EUR for a family of 4). So we never took it. Close to the main station is a Deli France....we always had breakfast there before we did sightseeing.

Pros: The buffet breakfast was outstanding.

We had a luxury holiday twin room that comfortably fit my wife, my two teenagers and me. The room was clean with an outstanding shower and bath, and high end linens. The hotel has a free shuttle bus to Kyoto station that we used every day. We also had access to the suite with afternoon tea and cocktails at night, an added perk.

Cons: The roof top bar was adults only, so we could not go there with our teenagers. The roof top bar lost some profit with that rule. We were disappointed that the pool had no access, especially given how hot is was the week we were there. We had dinner one night at the Star Hill Chinese restaurant. We were disappointed with the service and the food, especially give the prices. The hotel is also a bit far from major sights in Kyoto.

Pros: Roomy (for a Japanese hotel) with very comfortable sheets. Location on Shijo avenue is awesome. Just ~15 minutes walk from the bustle of Kawaramachi area and near multiple transport options - Kyoto subway, Kyoto bus, and Hankyu line's limited express stops (but will need to travel a bit for JR Kyoto Station!). I would only consider the location a slight negative if you are focusing on western or northern Kyoto (Arashiyama, Kinkakuji, etc.) instead of central Kyoto, Gion, etc. Easy food options minutes away, including a cheap supermarket (Fresco) and conbini. The rates for this hotel appear to be very good on weekdays/outside of peak season as well (I had the misfortune of paying weekend+Obon rates!).

Pros: We were relieved to find that the beds weren't too firm for us. They were reasonably comfy, which was our main priority. They also had lots of power points (about 8) for recharging our devices - best we've found in our month of travelling in Japan.

7,1 Good
Pros: Nice friendly staff
Cons: In places it felt a little dated, bathroom felt more like a pod in the room, almost a hostel feel, Didn't like the very pornographic menus for the paid tv placed in the welcome packs, difficult to explain to an 8 year old

Pros: We were relieved to find that the beds weren't too firm for us. They were reasonably comfy, which was our main priority. They also had lots of power points (about 8) for recharging our devices - best we've found in our month of travelling in Japan.
Cons: Due to the time of year and day of the week, we paid a lot to stay one night in this hotel. We would only stay again if we got it at a better rate.
8,0 Excellent
Pros: one of the hotel staff spoke excellent english and was a great help to us.
Cons: The internet service is terrible. Despite a lower star rating, I would still expect better in a country like Japan.
9,2 Excellent
Pros: Spacious rooms , good staff , good location and good price
Cons: Air conditioning was poor ,a very bad wifi signal as apparently it works if you are close to the ground floor and less as you go up and bathroom was a little old

Cons: The room generally is alright comparing the price. However, advice is do not try to touch the curtains as it was super dusty. I touched it and the dust was scattering around

Pros: Location good , staff very helpful and friendly and spoke reasonable English
Cons: Pillows were not very comfortable
6,3 Good
Pros: Close to transport both railway and bus stops .
Cons: The staff on our arrival did not read our reservation correctly and ended up putting us in the wrong size room and denied us our breakfast vouchers which we had paid for and had the print out confirming same . They wanted us to ring booking .com so we could sort out the issue which my husband refused to do saying it was their mistake not ours.After an hour or so of the staff telling us the mistake was ours the girl at reception realized she had not read the booking properly and she was the one that had made the mistake with both breakfast and the size of our room meaning we had been put into a smaller room than what we had paid for. This may seem a trivial complaint but when you have travelled for hours to get to your destination you just want an easy check in process which this wasn’t .With all the accommodation available the staff really need to improve on their customer service.
