Perfect, perfect! Expensive but worth every penny (yen). The service is impeccable, the room is insanely luxurious and the location is fantastic. The room is very large by any standard let alone Japanese ones. Beautifully designed and makes me want to redecorate when I get home. Can't wait to return!

This is truly a high class experience that makes you feel welcome. The moment you arrive you are greeted and taken care of (without feeling suffocated). I lost my wallet in the cab I arrived in and without a receipt or anything to help track it down, the RC got it back to me with-in 2 hours!! Blown away by every small detail in this gorgeous hotel. Def recommend the sushi bar for it's amazing fish quality and cascading waterfall backdrop. They offer many complementary activities for solo travelers or families (the electric bike ride along the river to a temple was stunning) so make sure to take advantage. Can't say enough nice things about this hotel. 100% recommend.

This has to be one of the nicest ways to spend your time in Kyoto. Peaceful and adjacent to the river, the Ritz is a small luxury hotel in Kyoto. Though the prices in Yen or hotel points may be out of the price range during peak season, we found it an excellent way to spend a weekend. I highly recommend taking the bike tours (ours was with Aqua!), which take you to some of the city's best sights before the crowd. The picture from the tour is something we will cherish for years to come. Also make sure to stop by the Michelin starred tempura restaurant located in the hotel. I have not had tempura this good since!!

The hotel is well maintained since the opening in 2014. Serving and housekeeping are excellent. The location is 10mins away from Kyoto station by taxi, which is convenient and comfortable enough for leisure stay. The washroom are clean and facilities such as doors, pipes and drainage are well maintained, smooth and quiet. Japanese breakfast are well-prepared and more than enough to start my day.

Can't say enough good things about the service here. My wife was feeling a bit ill when we arrived, so we planned on spending a few hours in the lobby just relaxing while they got our room ready. When I told Mika this, she got our room ready for us immediately and checked us in. Relaxing for a bit made us both feel better and quite literally saved Kyoto for us. Beyond the excellent service it's everything you'd expect from a lux hotel. Beautiful room design, great amenities, and friendly staff. Worth every penny.

We were not guests at this hotel, but we went to the spa. The spa experience was absolutely amazing! From the welcome to the amenities to the actual treatment, the Ritz staff treated us like queens. Make extra time to sit in the relaxation room for some quiet time before and after your treatment; you’ll be glad you did! The staff also knew it was a celebration for my mom so they gave her a sweet little gift and a hand written card! The extra touches truly made this experience amazing.
