Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciated the great location, friendly staff, and good amenities. However, many reviews mentioned the small room sizes and issues with cleanliness, particularly regarding odors and smoking areas. The hotel offers good value for the price, especially with its breakfast buffet, but some guests felt misled by the room descriptions and size.

Pros (+) Big surprise was that the water is from a spring under the hotel! Smaller room than expected but had all the expected amenities. Great location to downtown, Nishiki market, Gion, Arashiyama.
Cons (-) Pictures made rooms look bigger. Staff weren't very knowledgable about traveling to Narita, but we got great info from the travel office next door and JTB in Nishiki market.

Pros (+) The location was great, the coin laundry was helpful, people were very friendly
Cons (-) Small room, couldn't even open a suitcase. They said it was air conditioned, but it was just some blower. At least we could open a window. Even though it was a non smoking room, it had some smell. No room safe. It was billed as a superior double ... that means 1 bed jammed into the corner. I had to crawl over my husband to get out! Would not stay there again.

Pros (+) I stayed at The Kyoto Royal Hotel and Spa for my first trip overseas as well as my first trip to Japan. Some of the cultural differences where noted such as heights of sinks, counter tops, and showers. The room I stayed in had a Double Semidouble-deluxe bed. It was in fact 1 bed and was comparable to a full/queen size. I thought there would be two. The bed could sleep for two I suppose. The room I...

Pros (+) Good location
Cons (-) There's a smoking floor and they will try to put you in a smoking room even when you booked nonsmoking. Not that it matters, you can smell the smoke throughout the hotel. Bed was like sleeping on a floor

Pros (+) We were a group of 5 adults traveling throughout Japan. The Kyoto Royal Hotel offered great convenience, but the rooms are very basic and smaller, and the bed cozy for me and my 6'3" husband. The concierge was absolutely very accomodating, but there was a bit of a language barrier, so just be sure to ask a lot of questions to ensure you understand! I would return there. Good value. Huge breakfast ...
