Great hotel, centrally located. Nice and friendly staff, very good breakfast and nice room that worked well for three people. Can definitely highly recommend!
Lovely hotel in a great location - a little less crazy than central hotels.
Staff (particularly the restaurant greeters) were simply lovely! Friendly, courteous and very efficient.
Breakfast was excellent quality and great variety, well worth including in your stay.
Social hour could get a little busy (holiday weekend?) but the food and drinks on offer were excellent.
VERY happy with our Kyoto hotel choice!
Stylish hotel conveniently located with lots of small eateries and kombinis within walking distance and a large supermarket downstairs. The rooms are a good size and the beds are comfortable but could do with better pillows.
This hotel was a beautiful sanctuary in Kyoto. The foyer and lounge were spacious and luxurious, and the generous buffet breakfast and complimentary drinks and snacks in the lounge were a highlight. Our room was smaller than we expected, but everything was impeccably clean, modern and well planned. Highly recommend.
Check in - they deliver luggage to your room, nice staff
Pros- all you can drink 5-8pm, free snacks, very local and exotic breakfast, larger rooms than expected, clean
Cons- additional tax (~4$) on arrival, breakfast gets crowded early
This is my 5th time in Kyoto and Ruchmond hotel was the best one I stayed.
*Location is convenient with next door "Fresh" (Supermarket)
*Staffs are Friendly and Fluent in English
*Using check-in/out machine was Easy
*Breakfast is ONE OF A KIND!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will definitely come back again
Nice sized and comfortable rooms with a stylish reception area, daily “activities” and a “premium lounge” available to all guests with snacks and, after 17:00, alcoholic drinks. Good area of Kyoto with easy access to transport and the market. Only minor weakness is the lack of a hotel bar or anywhere really to sit and have a coffee or drink after 21:00 hours following a day of “temple hopping”.

Richmond hotel
Nice hotel, a lot of money went to the lobby. So the rooms were small we stayed in a 3 person room and you could not open 3 suitcase simultaneously. So if you’re traveling with family take that into consideration!
