RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto

RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto

8/10 Good
"i don’t see why as a lady i should pay the same entry to the pool when i’m not allowed access to the sauna located in the men’s locker room . a discounted system should be offered or the facilities levelled up . Generally good and great value for money though rooms could do with a little updating no usb sockets so thwarted charging efforts . restaurant facilities close too early with most last orders at 730/8 not suitable after day trips . 9 would be much better for tourists - we ended ordering takeaway two nights when we would have happily eaten in hotel if facilities opened until 9. pool closes lunch time making you have to time arrival am or pm to make expensive entrance pricing worthwhile ."
