RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto

RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto

10/10 Excellent
"Immaculately clean rooms, staff went above and beyond to accommodate. It helped that quite a few staff spoke English. The women’s beauty packs in the bathroom a pleasant and welcoming addition. Hotel close to public transportation, shopping areas and a variety of restaurants. Great service from the hotel shuttle bus"
