Located right around the corner from Kyoto International Manga Museum, the hotel boasts European cuisine served at the onsite à la carte restaurant.

Location

The 5-star hotel has a prime setting about 6 km from the head Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine. The flatland Nijo Castle is a 16-minute walk away, while The Museum of Kyoto is a few steps from The Royal.

The area offers shopping experiences such as Nishiki Market Shopping District, which is 800 metres from this accommodation.

The hotel stands within 5 minutes' walk of Karasumaoike tube station and within a few blocks of Karasuma train station.

Rooms

The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto offers 123 rooms with tea and coffee-making facilities, and such modern conveniences as a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. The rooms include private bathrooms. They feature bathrooms with a bidet, a separate toilet, and a shower as well as hair dryers and dressing gowns.

Eat & Drink

Each morning, the property serves an Italian breakfast. A lounge bar is available on site. Shishin Samurai Restaurant Honten is ideal for tasting Japanese cuisine and is situated a mere 0.6 km from this Kyoto hotel.

“This stylish hotel impressed me with its modern take on Kyoto elegance. Its location near the station makes getting around simple, and that on-site Italian restaurant is worth a visit after a day exploring nearby cultural spots. I especially appreciate the commitment to sustainability; it adds a layer of responsibility to the refined experience.”

an ok stay

subway station spacious room breakfast time limited supply
the location was great. it was super close to a subway station. i easily traveled around the area from there. rooms were also spacious. i liked the open design, it was quite roomy.
the breakfast closed earlier than advertised. the front desk told us a different time. it seemed like we were in the way, way before the closing time. the hot food options were not plentiful. the general supplies seemed limited too.

the staff was very nice and helpful. i found the modern design of the hotel lovely. the location felt safe and i appreciated that.
the laundry facilities seemed inadequate. the washer and dryer combo took a long time. it would have been better with another floor of laundry facilities.

poor customer service rude staff
the room was spacious. it was acceptable.
I was shocked by the poor customer service. we arrived in the morning and left our luggage. we returned in the evening to check in. the staff told us breakfast was included. another staff member, yuko, was rude and said we didn't have breakfast included. This was frustrating.
