The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent
"Great room for 3 people. The rain shower was great and I wish I got to use the tub. Elevators were smooth and quick. Breakfast had a variety. Staff was incredibly kind and helpful. My boyfriend left his wallet in an Uber and the staff took care of communicating with Uber and the driver for the return of it. The location is also great. Right by the river, the main shopping district and Gion. Incredible stay."
