Kyoto Ryoan-ji Temple Hotels

"The hotel was super busy when we were there. Also, some may find it cumbersome having to take off your shoes every time you arrive at the hotel. Also having to walk in socks the whole time in the hotel including going to breakfast. The amenities were great, there were 5 different hot springs tubs to use which was very nice, free ice cream and amazing breakfast spread also water/tea/coffee available every day was very nice. Staff was kind and welcoming. The location was away from the main touristy area but easy taxi or bus ride back after a long day of exploring. "

"Amazing staff, room was always clean, beds were comfy and room was even bigger than expected, maybe I was upgraded but 10/10 experience compared to places I stayed last time I was in japan"

"A very lovely hotel. Friendly staff, clean rooms, excellent customer service. Shuttle to subway was very convenient, and the breakfast buffet was a great way to start the day."

"The apartment was super clean. AC worked well for us. Great value for the money, however for my family of 5 I wondered if the savings translated since we ended having to take an Uber back to Kyoto Station (25mins aprox) every day and back for all our tours.. maybe if you are public transport savvy it would be ok but we had two people with android phones and we failed to get a Suica card or ICOCA at the station and it just didn't work for us on the savings end. Also, I thought the fact there were no elevators was ok but going up and down to the 4th floor after all day exploring got a bit much. Otherwise, the apartment was great. Shower- the water pressure was great. Laundry- worked well, you hang your clothes to air dry inside the shower stall, this takes a few hours so I tried to do at night so they would dry in the am so we could all take showers. Key- they will only give you one actual key, which if your group will separate may be a bit inconvenient, but they do have an intercom to let your party through the front without having to go all the way down to open. So as long as the party with the key gets in first it would be no issue. 7 eleven a couple of blocks away."

"Room was very beautiful worth way more then what I paid for"

"Highly recommend . I had an excellent stay. "

"We had a really enjoyable stay at Royal Park Canvas Kyoto Nijo and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto. The location is a standout — being right across from Nijo Station made getting around incredibly easy, whether we were heading out to explore temples, markets, or different neighbourhoods. It’s such a convenient base, especially if you’re only in Kyoto for a short time. The room itself was comfortable and well-designed, although just a little on the smaller side — which is fairly typical in Japan. Everything was thoughtfully laid out, and the shower was absolutely amazing — easily one of the best we’ve had during our travels. The provided pyjamas and slippers were also a really nice touch and added to the overall comfort of the stay. We also really appreciated being able to leave our luggage at the hotel after check-out on our last day. It made things so much easier and allowed us to enjoy a few more hours exploring without having to drag our bags around. The only downside for us was the check-in and check-out experience, which is fully automated. While we understand this is becoming more common, it did feel quite impersonal. Personally, we prefer interacting with staff — especially in a hotel brand that promotes exploration and adventure. It would have been nice to have team members more readily available to welcome guests and offer local tips or recommendations on what to see and do. That said, overall this is a great hotel with a fantastic location, "

"Great staff and great place. Very welcoming and not far from train station."
