Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto enjoys a convenient location near the subway, making it easy to explore Kyoto, including quick access to Kyoto station, Nara, Osaka and Arashiyama. Many guests appreciate the spacious and modern rooms, well-equipped with amenities. The hotel also offers a welcome cocktail or aperitif. Some have found the rooms smaller than expected and have noted the limited food selection in the lounge, suggesting the added cost might not be worth it. Nevertheless, the aromatherapy in the rooms and the completeness of the bathroom amenities were particular highlights for many.

spacious roomclean bathroomlimited breakfaststrange offering
The room was very spacious and clean. The bathroom included both a shower and a bathtub. I found the staff members very friendly, and they spoke English. They were able to send our luggage to our next hotel very smoothly!!!
The breakfast offered no toast, no jam, and no cheese in the omelette. There was no juice, only orange and pineapple fruit. I had to have what I was given, which wasn't nearly enough! The hotel should improve on these issues.

the location was good because it was near the subway station.
the room size was small. i also had trouble with breakfast because it was repetitive and lacked variety. getting a simple request like extra milk required an additional charge, really.
