Rooms were pretty clean but the washroom in our room reeked a but of pee. But the rest of the room and amenities were amazing. I personally really loved their onsen, I will definitely come back just to experience it again.

RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto
Useful free bus shuttle to station. Staff very courteous. Handy for station but perhaps a little too far from downtown Kyoto. Didn’t use pool as there was a substantial charge per person per session. Would have expected guest use for free.
