This is a 4-star hotel, very close to Kyoto Station, and they offer a free shuttle bus to and from the station. The shuttle picks up on the left side when you exit the *Karasuma Central Exit* (条口) of Kyoto Station. There isn't much to explore around the hotel itself, and very few restaurants. If you plan on taking the train or eating out, it's best to head to Kyoto Station. Kyoto Station is large and beautiful, a tourist attraction in itself, and even has a big Isetan department store!

The breakfast restaurant on the 14th floor is a revolving restaurant with panoramic views of Kyoto. However, the Western set breakfast is quite mediocre. The breakfast restaurant on the first floor offers both Japanese and Western options, but the value for money isn't great. In terms of transportation, besides taking the train from Kyoto Station, you can also catch a bus nearby. It's a bit far from the livelier areas of Sanjo and Shijo, making it suitable for guests who prefer a quiet stay and want to be close to Kyoto Station.

I had a great stay at RIHGA Gran Kyoto Hotel. The location is extremely convenient — it’s just a short walk from Kyoto Station, which you can easily reach directly from Kansai International Airport via the Haruka Express. This made traveling with luggage very hassle-free.
There are two convenience stores located near the hotel, which is perfect for quick snacks, drinks, or last-minute necessities. There’s also a shopping mall right next to the hotel, making it easy to shop, dine, or relax without having to travel far.
For those driving, there are three parking lots nearby, which is very convenient and stress-free. Overall, the hotel offers excellent accessibility, great surrounding facilities, and a comfortable stay. Highly recommended!

Location: Just a 2-minute walk from Shijo Subway Station Exit 6, super close! It's on a side street, so the area is very quiet and has a charming Kyoto vibe. There are plenty of izakayas nearby, and a 7-Eleven right next door!

It's normal for hotels in Japan to be small, and the room here was indeed a bit on the smaller side. You won't be able to fully open a large suitcase.

A thoughtful touch: the room has a makeup mirror, which is a huge plus for women!

If you're a woman, be prepared! Shijo Subway Station Exit 6 doesn't have an elevator, and the stairs are quite high. Carrying heavy luggage might be a bit of a struggle.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with this hotel in all aspects!

Really enjoyed my stay here. Booked a single smoking room in a deal, I don't smoke and the room didn't smell of cigs so that was good. While small, the room has everything you need, and the views are great! Breakfast was great, a lot to choose from, western and local. Staff were lovely, check in was easy. FamilyMart right opposite and Nagatacho metro a few minutes walk away, two stops from Yurakucho and four from Shibuya. Would recommend.

The concierge gave me a bit of trouble during check-in regarding the bed size, but I assume that's not a common issue for most guests. The matter was handled by Trip.com customer service and the hotel manager, and everything was resolved smoothly—everyone was happy in the end. The hotel is visibly old, but it's clean and well-maintained. It's suitable for guests who drive, as it offers a relatively large car park.

The location is absolutely fantastic, right next to Shiba Park and incredibly close to Tokyo Tower – just a short walk away. The room, though small, was clean, comfortable, and very convenient for transport. The service was genuinely reliable, honest, and thoughtful. Especially impressive was how the hotel staff carefully kept and fully returned the three New Year's red envelopes I had left under the pillow. Even though it was only a few thousand RMB, it was a New Year's gift for my daughter and represented the ritual of the holiday, so losing it would have been incredibly upsetting. This level of reliability, honesty, and attentiveness is rarer and more valuable than any beautiful view. When I go to Tokyo again, this hotel will definitely be my first choice for peace of mind!

Spotless, Brand New, and Perfect for Shoppers!
ANCHORED by RIHGA is exceptionally clean, brand new, and features excellent overall amenities and top-notch toilet facilities. A massive, unexpected highlight is the professional vacuum-packing machine in the laundry area, which is an absolute lifesaver for flattening clothes and bulky purchases to save luggage space. The only minor drawback is that the elevators can be quite slow, but otherwise, it’s a fantastic, highly recommended place to stay near Ebisucho.

The hotel is super close to the subway station, right at the exit. The room was generally clean, and both comfort and quietness were good. It's a bit of a walk from the JR station, about 15 minutes. Breakfast was quite expensive, so I didn't eat at the hotel; there's a Matsuya across the street which was a good alternative.
