Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Rihga Gran Kyoto is frequently praised for its convenient location, a short walk from Kyoto Station, making it ideal for exploring the city and beyond. Guests appreciate the spacious and clean rooms, especially compared to typical Japanese hotel rooms, and some have highlighted the well-designed bathrooms. The availability of complimentary soft drinks throughout the day is also a popular perk, and while some guests have noted the absence of free coffee or tea during breakfast hours, many find the hotel to be a great value overall.

convenient locationcomfortable bed
The location is very convenient near the main train station. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I enjoyed the drink corner and lobby lounge area. The breakfast had many options and the food was delicious.
The air conditioning was sometimes too cold or too warm. It was hard to find a comfortable setting.
