Excellent Value
These factors are reflected in my high ratings: within walking distance to train station, lovely architecture, friendly front desk staff, useful amenities available for the taking in the lobby, laundromat on two floors, pajamas provided, complimentary tea time and cocktail service. Shower and bath are great and water pressure is just right, you have thermostat control and a humidifier in the room. I recommend buying up to add the buffet breakfast. The selection is huge and includes many seasonal Kyoto specialties. If you want to travel light you can come here with just a change of underwear.

Great place if frequently using Kyoto Station!
Very helpful staff during check in, check out and bag hold process. Rooms very clean. Would benefit from clearer instructions about daily need to select next day's cleaning option, though default Eco-clean is nice. Also good to know that full room clean required every 3 nights. Some noise from busy street outside. Blackout curtains effective. Proximity and cost/value to Kyoto Station are amazing!

Convenient and spacious
We had a superior twin room for 2 and it was more spacious than expected. The amenities included an updated modern hairdryer, curling iron and flat iron. Separate bathroom door from toilet and bedroom. Even the foyer had its own pocket door. Bath amenities bar has high end pola skincare. Friend enjoyed the hair oils and facial mask. Unfortunately the amenities bar ran out of the masks for me so I didn’t have a chance to try it.

Awesome stay
We love this hotel. We enjoyed the afternoon tea and the evening happy hours! We love the green tea parfait, the variety of drinks, and the amenities! Everything they provided were of good quality. The rooms are very clean. The beds and beddings are comfortable. Service would have received a five star, if it weren't for one little incident in departure. My sister asked a bottle of water a minute after she checked out. The staff declined her! I came after her, so I asked for her before I checked out. The staff asked how many bottle do I need! he appears to be happy to give me a few! I hope he can be more flexible and provided one to a guest who just checked out after five nights stay. My sister was upset about being declined a bottle of water.

This was one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Room design was efficient and cozy and updated. It had great lighting, the decoration touches with the paper window shades was so nice. This will be our goto hotel anytime we are back in Kyoto. The staff were super helpful and overall we had the best stay here.

The hotel was great except that they won't allow us to reduce one day stay. After Expedia worked with them they simply cancelled our booking and when we arrived at the hotel they told us to rebook it in higher prices. We arrived late and tired and didn't expect to deal with it back and forth. Since Expedia has already worked it out for us. Other than that the hotel staff tried to accommodate us. The rooms are clean and spacious. The breakfast and free tea time were great. We are happy to stay there. We will stay there again but hope their booking would be more flexible. Any other hotels allow us to increase or reduce days of stay before the changing due date. Not sure why it is so difficult for Richmond Hotel. The staffs are great and trying hard to fix the problem.

Our family have spent the past two and half weeks vacationing in Taiwan and Japan. This hotel is the best we have stayed. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent hotel conditions. Steps away from the Kyoto station and shopping district.The room is spacious according to Japanese standard. Toilet and bathroom are separate. Free drinks in the afternoon. Alcohol tasting from 6:00 to 8:30pm is amazing. I highly recommend this hotel.
