Hotels With Wi-Fi in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

I was initially concerned about the walk to the subway station, but to my pleasant surprise, there was a bus stop right downstairs from the hotel. Direct buses to major attractions (like Sannenzaka/Ninenzaka, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Nijo Castle, Kyoto Imperial Palace, and the Tamako Market filming location) were readily available, running every ten minutes. This made getting around incredibly convenient, and I didn't take the subway at all during my four-day stay in Kyoto, relying entirely on buses. Since I tend to tire out quickly, I would return to the hotel to rest after visiting each attraction, ending up going back and forth to the hotel three times a day. In the evenings, after dinner, I enjoyed leisurely strolls back to the hotel from the Kamo River. It truly made for a very relaxed and unhurried trip. Both Nishiki Market and Kyoto Daimaru are within comfortable walking distance. That area is indeed a bustling part of Kyoto, where a straight walk down one street can lead you to the Kamo River, Yasaka Shrine, and Gion Hanamikoji, offering a plethora of restaurants and bars. The room features a separate entryway. Inside, there's a sliding door that can be closed at night to enhance sound insulation, though the room's soundproofing was already excellent; I couldn't hear a single sound. The bathroom has a wet/dry separation, and both the toilet and shower areas were impeccably clean. The most thoughtful gesture was when I accidentally threw a broken umbrella into the trash; the housekeeping staff noticed it, retrieved it, and left it neatly beside the bin. Whenever I encountered cleaning staff in the hallway, they were always very polite and greeted me with a smile. The lobby offered complimentary self-serve lemonade, coffee, and matcha. Overall, a very satisfying stay.

The rooms are typically small, but the hygiene is excellent. You can do your laundry, but getting a slot is tough; I suggest going early in the morning for the wash and dry, though I could never wake up that early myself. The hotel's location is good, with a direct bus to Kyoto Station. There's no breakfast, but you can grab a meal at Sukiya right outside, which is pretty good value for money. If the hotel were a bit cheaper, it would be great, but for weekend prices, I'd probably look elsewhere.

The hotel environment was very comfortable, and most importantly, it was extremely easy to find. It’s located right opposite Kyoto Station, which makes traveling around incredibly convenient. It also offers self check-in and self check-out, which was really convenient and efficient. From Kyoto Station, you can easily reach Nara and Uji directly by train. There are also bus stops right across the hotel that take you straight to popular attractions such as Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Ninenzaka, Sannenzaka, and Yasaka Shrine. Another huge plus is the convenience—there’s a FamilyMart and a 7-Eleven just across the street, which was incredibly handy. As for the room, it truly fits the saying “small but well-equipped.” Everything we needed was provided. We traveled with one 24-inch and one 28-inch suitcase, and by moving the table and chairs slightly, we were able to open both suitcases comfortably. The desk and chairs were especially appreciated, as they were very friendly for travelers who still need to work during the trip.

This hotel deserves only an excellent mark. The hotel is situated just one metro station from Kyoto Central Station, which is very convenient. The metro station is just 100 meters away from the hotel entrance. The hotel is surrounded by a lovely park. When I arrived, there was a book fair—lots of cheerful students, kiosks with different types of food, etc. Additionally, there is a Starbucks café and a 24/7 FamilyMart next door. The Hotel offers a laundry self-service. Theare are washing mashines with a drying fuction on the 2nd floor. The front desk personnel are very polite and speak English well. When I arrived in the morning, the manager offered to store my luggage before check-in time. When I entered my room, I instinctively checked if it was really a 4-star hotel, because it looked like a real 5-star hotel—spacious room with design details, a spacious bathroom unlike other Japanese hotels, and other features that make the room look luxurious (check the photos). Additionally, I would like to point out the perfectly working air ventilation. Unlike other Japanese hotels, which have air conditioning in the rooms, this hotel has supply ventilation that works very gently—no sound, no ice-cold drafts, just a soundless flow of fresh air. I believe that the Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Umekoji is a perfect place to stay in Kyoto.

Nice room with small space ! We love the location! Walkable to the main Kyoto station! * There's no Lobby and space for deposit the luggages you need to use coin locker outside till the check-in time! Because at the check-in counter it should be Lobby but they do the gift shop. For us everything was ok but only just the luggages issue! And highly recommend for everyone who traveling with small luggages ^^ enjoy Kyoto guys!

Location not the best and can find nearer to Kyoto station with same price. The location only good to go Nijojo castle, Toji Temple & Ginkako temple. Nothing much nearby, no night bars only a restaurant opposite it. The worst was no lift, for a female with 20 kg luggage, I have to carry it for 4 levels up and down all by myself. It’s understandable no space to install lift, but pls consider to install a luggage travel lift. Layout of the room is very good especially bath and toilet inside the room. Some may not like it cause ppl may back late night to bath and make noises. But I do like the single room layout with small dress up table before the capsule bed.

Our absolute favorite hotel in Kyoto, Japan – we were extremely satisfied! Meals were super convenient with a convenience store and supermarket right outside the door, which we visited daily. The subway station was just a five-minute walk away. The hotel's hot spring was its most unique feature; it's so rare to find a hotel with one. We'll definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Kyoto.

Please be aware of the staff who ask for cash payment for the hotel's tax when you check in. We paid by cash, but my credit card was charged again. I informed the hotel manager about it and told them to check the CCTV for the dishonest staff, but they didn't take any action about it. How can you feel safe and for your personal belongings if you're staying at a hotel that hires dishonest staff and the hotel manager is not taking action to the staff who's scamming the customer? Don't be a victim!

We stayed 3 nights and really had a good experience. The hotel is located in a nice and quiet area of Kyoto, right next to Sanjo shopping street that has many convenience stores and dining options. Bus stops are just 5 minutes away. The staff was there when we arrived, speaks really good English and was very kind at all times. Our room was spotless and neat, bright and had heating, hot water, kettle, safety box, towels and many toiletries. We could sleep really well as mattresses and pillows were comfy and thankfully there was no noise during the night. We would stay here again in future without any doubt.

It is my second in Kyoto, and I stayed both times in this hotel - this proves that this is really nice hotel. The room is spacious compared to other hotels I stayed im Japan, facilities are great, staffs are friendly. We tried the breakfast and dinner at the bar, the breakfast has quite limited selections but th quality was great. Dinner was a little disappointing for the price, but overall still a good experience.
