Our stay was excellent. The staff was warm and welcoming, the room was clean and comfortable, and the daily breakfast was delicious. We especially enjoyed the afternoon ice cream :). Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Kyoto.
Best place we stayed so far in Japan. Staff were above and beyond, waiting in the lobby and attending to anyone that needed help. I’d recommend this place 1000 times if I could. Laundry machines were plentiful, compared to other hotels.
Great location, walking distance from Kyoto Station, property was very well maintained and the cleanliness was top notch. We didn’t eat breakfast as it was more meat lovers. I would definitely recommend this property for families.
This hotel was AMAZING! We were so sad to stay only overnight. The room was lovely, the breakfast was amazing and the staff was wonderful. The location is near the Kyoto Station and near other sites in the city. We would love to come back to stay here again.
Excellent place to stay and very nice and kind staff. Highly recommended!

This is an excellent hotel where we would gladly stay again. The location is ideal, just minutes walking from Kyoto station, the hub of travel, restaurant dining and shopping. The hotel is run superbly, with exceedingly clean rooms and access to a broad range of toiletries easily accessed in the lobby. Breakfast was ideal: A buffet with high-quality options of both Japanese and western styles. The staff kept the area well-stocked and spotlessly clean. We travelled to 5 countries over 4 months and this was one of our best stays.
Hotel was modern and clean. Breakfast was great . service was on point and we love the location so close to the train station. We would definitely stay again.
This hotel is a gem! Convenient location for transport and everyone on staff was incredibly kind and gracious. The breakfast has a lot of options and we loved the self-serve amenity station (which even included bath salts, sheet masks, and hair oil capsules). Would happily stay again in the future!

Great location. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Richmond hotels are our first choice.
I cannot highly recommend this hotel enough. Staff are extremely kind and were able to answer any questions I had. The hotel is extremely clean and has excellent standards. There is more than enough amenities and it truly felt as if we were at a resort. We aren’t typically the type of people who pay for hotel breakfast but in this instance we did and felt that it was worth it. There was a lot of variety and they offer complimentary snacks during certain times of the day. Location is also excellent, about an 8 min walk to Kyoto station and a couple of minutes from the bus stop. We will definitely be back whenever we are returning to Kyoto.
