My husband and I had a great first impression of this hotel. We enjoyed that it was in such a convenient location. It is also by the train station, so that was a plus. The staff was great. The hotel was very clean. We appreciated housekeeping daily. Would definitely come back and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone.

I had a wonderful experience staying at Rihga Gran Kyoto. The hotel is beautifully designed — modern yet warm — with elegant touches throughout. The rooms are spotless, quiet, and well-equipped with thoughtful amenities like pajamas, a Nespresso machine, and spacious showers. The beds are incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax after long days of exploring Kyoto. The location is excellent — just a few minutes’ walk from Kyoto Station, which made traveling around the city and to other destinations very convenient. Despite being close to the station, the hotel feels calm and serene. The staff were kind, professional, and always helpful, whether assisting with directions or offering local recommendations. I especially appreciated the overall atmosphere — tranquil, refined, and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Rihga Gran Kyoto to anyone looking for a quiet, stylish, and comfortable base in Kyoto.
