The hotel room was very clean and the environment was good. There are supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, as well as a bus station. Taxis are also convenient. We brought a child, and overall it was a very good stay.

The hotel was very accessible. We can walk to the bus stops and can easily get Uber rides as well. No issue traveling with kids. They offered chopsticks making as arts and crafts while the adults had unli snacks in the afternoon. Lobby was cozy even the kids were comfortable. Room was confortable for 2 adults and 3 kids.

Facilities: Has everything you need. Hygiene: Very clean. Environment: The environment is great and beautiful. The ground floor is very green. Service: The staff are all exceptionally good. We were traveling with our child, and they were all very friendly towards kids. The breakfast was light and suited our family's taste. We lost our phone, and the police called at night. The front desk staff even came to our room late at night to tell us about it. In the end, we successfully found the phone.

The room was tiny, but the location was super convenient for getting around, with lots of bus routes nearby. Dining options were plentiful too, and there are two supermarkets right downstairs. The hotel also offers a happy hour in the afternoon, which was a nice touch. Aside from the small room, I was pretty happy with everything else.

No room service at all. We came back after a day out and the trash wasn't emptied and the bed wasn't made. The only good thing about this place is the lobby's landscaping; everything else is terrible.

Response from Property: Thank you very much for staying at Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Shijo and for sharing your feedback.We sincerely apologize that the trash in your room was not collected during your stay. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we deeply regret the inconvenience and discomfort this caused you.For your reference, our housekeeping service generally includes removal of trash placed in the bins, even under our “eco cleaning” plan, which is provided when no specific preference is selected. Eco cleaning includes towel replacement, trash collection, and bed-making. Despite this, we failed to carry out the service properly in your case, and we take this matter very seriously.We have shared your feedback with our housekeeping team and will review our procedures and inspection system to prevent recurrence.Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

The hotel is very close to the bus stop, and the subway station is just a short walk away. There's a supermarket right downstairs which is super convenient for snacks and meals, and a FamilyMart directly opposite. Plus, there's a 7-Eleven down the alley to the left, which is also very handy. The room itself was clean and quite spacious, the bed was comfortably firm, and the self-service amenities were great. Highly recommend!

Excellent stay! They even offer complimentary drinks. Downstairs, there's a supermarket where you can find very affordable sea urchins. The location is super convenient. Highly recommend it, especially the toiletries they provide.

Facilities: The microwave was a highlight, making it easy to heat up meals. Hygiene: I chose this hotel based on a recommendation from Xiaohongshu. My most basic requirement for a hotel is cleanliness. I was really angry to see stains directly on the bedding. As for other details, I couldn't bear to look closely. The water stains on the sink weren't even wiped clean, to the point where I didn't dare to use their bath towels. Environment: The hotel lobby environment is very good, and there's a supermarket nearby, which is great. However, it's quite far if you want to take the subway, especially with luggage.

Response from Property: Thank you for choosing to stay at our hotel and for taking the time to share your experience. First of all, we are very grateful for your recognition of the hotel facilities, especially the convenience of the microwave, and your appreciation of the lobby environment and surrounding amenities (such as the supermarket). However, we sincerely apologize for your unpleasant experience regarding hygiene. The stains on the bedding and the inadequate cleaning of the washbasin clearly did not meet our service standards and failed to satisfy your expectations of basic hygiene. We take this very seriously and have immediately reported it to the housekeeping department to strengthen cleaning procedures and inspections to ensure that similar situations do not occur again. We sincerely apologize again for any discomfort or disappointment you may have experienced. Regarding the issue of the hotel being a little far from the subway and the inconvenience of carrying luggage, we also appreciate your understanding and feedback. In future services, we will strive to provide guests with clearer travel suggestions to improve the overall experience. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will continue to improve, striving to provide every guest with a cleaner, more comfortable, and convenient stay. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future and provide you with an even more satisfying experience.

The hotel location is great and there's several restaurants operating at late hours. You don't have to worry about getting hungry at all. The breakfast is great with nice cuisines. The afternoon tea and evening drinks session is fabulous. You can taste different types of alcohol at the lounge.

📍 **Location**: Convenient, with two supermarkets nearby (Life and Fresco), making it easy to grab food and essentials. 🚌 **Getting around**: Kyoto mainly relies on buses, so the location works well if you’re traveling light. 🧳 **From Kyoto Station**: If you have big luggage, taking the metro can be inconvenient as it involves about a 1 km walk. I took an Uber instead, which cost around ¥2,000 — much more comfortable after a long trip. 💧 **Amenities**: Drinking water is provided near the lift, but you’ll need to collect it yourself daily. 🧺 **Laundry**: There’s a washing machine with washer + dryer available for about ¥800 per use. Payment can be made by IC card (like ICOCA) or cash. 🍱 **Breakfast**: Mostly local Japanese options. It’s good to try, but you may not need to take it every day unless you really enjoy local cuisine 😅 🛗 **Lift access**: The lift doesn’t go directly from the ground floor to your room. You’ll first go up to the hotel lobby on the 3rd floor, then change to another lift to access your room. 💡 **Tip**: Consider taking a taxi/Uber on arrival if you have heavy luggage, then use buses for daily travel. Overall, a comfortable stay with a practical location!
