The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"Such an amazing hotel in Kyoto. Location was extremely central, close to sanjo station and multiple bus stops. Walking distance to so many restaurants and bars. The staff were so incredible, we also received drink tickets and breakfast daily. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely come back."

Hilton Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Rooms are absolutely stunning and massive, especially for Japan. We were on the second floor so unfortunately we didn’t open our curtains much. Location is convenient, near to all the main shops on a very busy street. Skip the Italian restaurant in the lobby, we went to have lunch there while our room was being cleaned and it was the worst meal we had during our month in Japan. Bland food and immensely overpriced."
