Our favorite hotel from a 16 day trip.
This hotel is FANTASTIC. Our superior two twin bed room doesn't have much of a view.... but everything else about this hotel we love. We originally booked this hotel for 2 nights and decided to stay for 5 nights. The location is perfect. It is very close to many great restaurants and markets. We can walk to most everywhere we want to go. It is also very close to all forms of public transportation. It is not in a super busy part of Kyoto. It is city life that feels very pleasant and easy to manage. The hotel is immaculate, it is the cleanest hotel we have stayed in and we have been all over Japan. The housekeeping does a fantastic job. Every day we feel we are returning to a room that was prepared for new guests! The hotel has an onsen, but we haven't tried it yet. They have a lounge that offers drinks and snacks that are included in your stay! It is lovely and we have met many people in the lounge. The staff has been super kind and friendly. They have laundry machines that wash and dry. Everything in the hotel is beautiful. We highly recommend it.

It is right down town and you can walk to many tourist sites. The temples and shrines are located outside the city due to high taxes.

What a gem of a hotel we discovered in the heart of Kyoto but just minutes from so many things we wanted to do. We only had 2 days in Kyoto & this was the perfect base for us to work from!

Great Stay
This was an excellent choice. We enjoyed this hotel the most throughout our Japan stay. I stayed with 2 of my teenage children. We especially enjoyed the lounge area, me the cocktails. We didint get a chance to visit the onsen.

Beautiful and very clean. Karasuma Oike subway station is a short 5 minute walk. There are a few attractions within about 10-15 minutes walk. Otherwise, the train/bus/taxi may be necessary. The quiet and relatively central location was great for us on our short stay.

TL;DR 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend
This is my second time staying at this place (and most likely not the last time). For a relatively expensive (still cheap) hotel, the Royal Park Hotel Iconic Kyoto has everything. Room is spacious and very clean; less than 1 minute walk to bus/subway station, and walkable to many places with many many good (and cheap) restaurants nearby; very quiet since it is not a heavy communal center. My wife and I happen to witness the parade in Gion Matsuri, and the parade literally starts at the doorstep of the hotel.
The Expedia bundle gives access to the free afternoon tea, which is nice if you don’t want to be out in the hot Kyoto afternoons.
