Very nice and comfy. Room is small as usual in most Japan hotels but the layout was designed cleverly and made the space very usable.

The stay was okay and the hotel was clean, but the bed was too soft and uncomfortable. Breakfast was just average and the pastries were too hard. The front desk and restaurant staff didn’t seem friendly or welcoming. The public bath wasn’t clean in the evening with a layer of soap visible on the water. Overpriced..

Conveniently located close to Kyoto train station
Not only is the Rihga Gran just a short walk from Kyoto Station, but close to many interesting shopping complexes and scrumptious restaurants. Good sized rooms plus washing/drying machines, onsen/baths and a great buffet breakfast. Excellent value for money. Recommended.
