Lovely hotel

I stayed here on my last few nights of travelling alone in Kyoto. The location was convenient to get to shopping and kyoto station. The staff were all very helpful and the lounge and other facilities were impeccable. Be careful about getting here by cab because there is another more well known rhiga hotel called “rhiga royal” and this one is “rhiga grand.”
