What guests think

At Rihga Gran Kyoto, travellers highlight its excellent location near Kyoto Station, modern Japanese-style rooms with thoughtful amenities, friendly multilingual staff, and useful extras like a public bath, coin laundry, and free lobby drinks.

Most guests find the property and rooms very clean and comfortable, though some mention housekeeping misses. Rooms are well designed with separate shower, tub and toilet, but sizes vary, storage is limited, and some interior rooms lack natural light or views.

Overall, expect a clean, modern stay with convenient amenities.

It was great overall. Staff was nice as we arrive before check in time and was able to store our luggage. The front desk area had free beverages which was neat. The room was nice and clean, I like that the shower and bathtub were separated. The bed was comfy and I liked the controls for the lights. It was pretty romantic too. They provide free water whenever they clean the room and I like how you can choose if you want a light cleaning or full cleaning. There is also laundry station and public bathhouse which you can see on the tv in your room if they are occupied or not.

Das Hotel liegt etwa fünf Minuten zu Fuß von der Kyoto Station entfernt. Die Anbindung ist somit optimal. Rund um das Hotel stehen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in Form von Konbinis und einem mehrgeschössigen Einkaufscentrum zur Verfügung. Frühstück ist gut, sowohl traditionell japanisch als auch europäische Wahlmöglichkeiten. Nahezu ganztägige Versorgung mit Getränken in der Hotellobby möglich. Personal stets hilfsbereit und freundlich.

We booked a premium deluxe twin room for first 2 nights and then moved to a smaller premium twin room for the next 2 nights. Both rooms were spacious, clean and nicely designed but only the deluxe room came with an extra bed and it was comfortable even for an adult. The location is about 5 min walk from Kyoto station so it is very convenient with a Family Mart nearby. The only annoyance was other inconsiderate guests not collecting their laundry causing long waits for the washing machines.

Rihga Gran Kyoto is a 4-star hotel that may be deemed as a boutique five-star property. The property is situated a stone’s throw away and approximately 5-minute walk from the Kyoto Station. In navigating the direction to the hotel, allow plenty of time to get lost in the central station as there are numerous exit and entry points. The property is a short walk from the Kyoto Avanti Mall towards the very end of the south gate. We stayed for 2 days in a superior twin room. The room was clean and spacious boasting an eclectic modern design. Amenities were provided in abundance. Free cold and hot drinks including coffee and tea were available on the reception floor on specified hours everyday. A public hot bath, separate for men and women, was also accessible until the morning for hotel guests. Be mindful about strict onsen rules and local practices when accessing the hot baths. We had light dinner and cocktails at the hotel bar and lounge, Kotona. Food and drinks were modest in pricing but met high quality standard. The hotel ticked almost all boxes for me, except for its limited luggage storage service. We were only allowed to store luggage over a day; overnight storage was prohibited accordingly. I highly recommend this property for a short-stay in Kyoto. Long-stays may break the bank to some degree as there are other affordable and cheaper properties around the area.

The location of the hotel was great. Just a 5 min walk to Kyoto station. The only thing is the cleanliness of the hotel. I booked two rooms. One of the rooms had bread sitting above the fridge which I assume it was left behind from the previous guests. Second, the hardwood floor was dirty with oil stains and smudges. The cleanliness can be improved and avoided. Disappointed.

This hotel is within easy walking distance of Kyoto Station. This is the main draw of this hotel, giving you easy access to the rest of the city. The hotel is located on the station's south side, which is much quieter than the north side. This may be a benefit if you want to be further away from the hustle and bustle. We booked a 3 bed room for a 3 person family. The room was okay. Room enough for 3 beds and a small table, but not much else. There was a distinct lack of surfaces for us to put "stuff" on. The room really needed some sort of side table or console for tourists to dump their things onto when coming back from a long day sightseeing. This is a small thing but really starts to grate on you after a few days. Breakfast was decent. A small buffet selection, but everything was tasty and fresh. Overall we had a good stay but the room was a little small.

The bathroom and room were very clean and comfortable. Staff people were very helpful and spoke perfect English. Very close to the train station and there were a family Mart and a convenience store with bakeries which was great. Highly recommend staying here if you have 3 people, it was very comfortable.

Overall the rooms, lobby, dining and spa were clean, with the exception of the floor to the entrance of our room which had stains and looked dirty. Not terrible but didn't seem up to the standards of the rest of the property. We mentioned this to the front desk and they immediately sent up a worker to inspect the issue and take pictures. They seemed to spend extra time cleaning the room afterwards so their response was greatly appreciated. We stayed here 3 nights and would recommend this hotel.

The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, and the bed was a dream. We had need of emergency healthcare and the staff were very quick, understanding and professional in arranging for an ambulance to attend us. After we returned to the hotel, they were genuinely concerned and took extra care of our needs. We greatly appreciated their assistance throughout a difficult time. We would definitely stay here again.

Personale e servizi del tutto inadeguati. La concierge praticamente inesistente : non avevano nemmeno le piantine della città e non erano in grado di capirti in un inglese decente. Mancanza del servizio di facchinaggio per portarti i bagagli in camera. Colazione scadente per varietà e qualità. Siamo arrivati con due ore di anticipo sull’ora del check in e, pur avendo camere disponibili,ci hanno chiesto 20000 yen per darci la camera in anticipo, richiesta ovviamente rifiutata. Pessimo rapporto qualità / prezzo. Esperienza da non ripetere
