The stay was perfect! It was close to the Kyoto train station (~7 mins walking), and had 3 convenient stores within walking distance. The hotel itself was so beautiful, very clean and the room was ample enough for 3 people (we had 3 beds). The staff were very helpful and kind. I would gladly stay here again!!

This hotel was great! I would definitely recommend staying here if you're traveling to Kyoto. It was a 5 minute walk from the train station and there was a bus stop directly across the street. Furthermore, the staff were incredible and the hotel was always clean. It felt amazing coming back to the hotel after a long day sightseeing or shopping. The entry way smelled great and the complimentary drinks were a nice perk.

We had a wonderful stay at Richmond Hotel Kyoto Station! The location is unbeatable—with a bus stop right outside and Kyoto Station just a short walk away, getting around the city was incredibly convenient. The morning buffet was a delightful surprise—fresh, varied, and delicious, with a kids’ breakfast option for just 1800 yen, which made mornings easy and enjoyable for the whole family. The hotel itself is clean, modern, and comfortable, with warm hospitality from the staff. We truly loved our stay and would gladly return. Highly recommended for families and travelers who value both comfort and convenience.
