Nice hotel, clean and comfy bed. Only issue is that it is far from attractions and city centre. You also need to pay for gym and pool.

Lovely hotel
I stayed here on my last few nights of travelling alone in Kyoto. The location was convenient to get to shopping and kyoto station. The staff were all very helpful and the lounge and other facilities were impeccable. Be careful about getting here by cab because there is another more well known rhiga hotel called “rhiga royal” and this one is “rhiga grand.”

Stayed for a short time. Unfortunately the spa services were closed on Monday (one of the days I had hoped to utilize them). Overall nice location with a station just outside the front door.
