The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo - A 4-star hotel with premium dining, modern amenities, and central location in historic Kawaramachi-Sanjo

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo houses fresh, modern rooms equipped with Serta mattresses, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and electric kettles. Each bathroom includes a spacious shower area with bathtub and eco-friendly toiletries. The property's Monsieur Ito restaurant serves Western dishes using local ingredients, while The Bar offers a hip atmosphere with globe lighting. Premium Floor guests receive daily breakfast buffet, complimentary drinks, and newspapers.

Pros

24-hour front desk with luggage storage and safety deposit services

Dedicated smoking areas on first basement and third floors

Premium Floor offers exclusive guest benefits

Comprehensive safety features including fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and window guards

Cons

31 mile distance from Itami Airport

Some rooms cannot accommodate extra beds

“What strikes me most is its location, a strategic point for exploring Gion, Uji, and the Biwa area. The entrance exudes a welcoming charm, complemented by a lobby with staff known for their friendliness and traditionally artistic decor, an intriguing contrast with the contemporary accommodations inside. With major subway stations nearby and an array of dining options within walking distance, it presents an enticing blend of convenience and cultural immersion.”
