Independent Ritto hotels

"The location is very convenient, just across the road and opposite to the JR train station. It is easy to take city buses when travelling to and from a range of attractions and sites or do day trips to nearby cities. The room has a reasonable size. Very happy about my stay there"

"Located only a couple of blocks from the main train station, this hotel was a great pick. Incredibly clean as you must take your shoes off at the entrance and roll your luggage through water before entering the lobby, and your room. The variety of hot springs baths you can choose from and the extras, such as evening noodles, ice creams and massage chairs make this a great place for families to stay. There are a number of reasonably priced restaurants nearby along with a token Don Quijote just down the street. Also on the same road as public buses 205 and 206 which take you to the tourist attractions such as the golden Pavillon. "

"Love the place and staff and super helpful and nice,super clean, bed and pillow are very comfortable"

"This hotel was amazing! It was right across from the main Kyoto station and after the long trip it was the perfect distance. The staff were super friendly and helpful when checking in and asking for info about the city. The room was fantastic, roomy (by Japan standards). Bathroom was great! I definitely recommend this hotel! Breakfast buffet option is great as it offers lots of Japanese and western foods."

"Magnificent stay. This is probably the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at. All staff were extremely helpful and even helped me contact the JR rail people after I left my passport on the train. The spa is amazing, and the location cannot be beat. I was genuinely sad to leave. "

"This hotel was excellent mostly because of the great staff. Everyone was so helpful for a non Japanese speaking group. The restaurant was delicious but I didn’t try the Japanese one due to time. I would recommend it to anyone!"

"Loved this hotel! Beds were very comfortable, breakfast at the restaurant was wonderful and the onsen was amazing to end each day. Staff were very nice as well. Thank you for the lovely stay!"
