The Royal Park Canvas - Kyoto Nijo

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The lobby is spacious and welcoming, and the entire hotel has a modern yet charming Japanese feel. One of the standout features was the convenience—it’s in a fantastic location with a bus stop just 20 meters from the entrance, making it easy to get anywhere in the city. The train station is also right across the road, providing quick and effortless access to public transport. The hotel itself is incredibly clean, safe, and secure. The rooms are well-designed, with tall ceilings and a spacious layout that comfortably fit two people and four pieces of luggage (with room for more if needed). The bathroom was amazing, featuring a large rainhead shower, and they provide complimentary toiletries, including face creams, toothbrushes, and hair ties. Other great amenities included washing machines for laundry and a luggage transfer service—just head to the front desk, and the staff will assist with the paperwork for sending or receiving luggage from another hotel. The breakfast was also really good, and there are English-speaking staff available if needed. Overall, it was a fantastic stay—clean, comfortable, spacious, and in a super convenient location. I highly recommend it!

The hotel had all the amenities you could want in a hotel - comfortable, clean rooms serviced daily an onsen, gym, close to train station and subway, (take the JR line if you’re coming in from Kyoto station it is direct to Noji whereas subway you have to change trains) The staff are very friendly and helpful, seamless check in. Free tea coffee and make your own soft drinks all day. Buffet breakfast too The Shogun’s palace is a short walk away and there are some fabulous restaurants very close by. We would highly recommend this hotel if you’re in Nijo

The hotel interior is beautiful and always smelt nice. Public facilities were always clean. The staff were very nice and super helpful ( I had a situation where I need something from the pharmacy and they wrote me a note to give to the pharmacist, which I really appreciated). I loved the decor of the room. The shower was really nice with large amenities that smelt nice (Body wash, conditioner and shampoo. Toothbrush and mini toothpaste were provided in the room. The room had a hanging area for clothes. Toilet was heated every morning haha, I felt like a queen lol. The hotel is situated right across from Nijo Station, which houses your usual 7 Eleven, KFC and local restaurants. Had an amazing Salmon sandwich from ‘Kyoto Sizuya’ - Twice haha. There are a lot of restaurants close by. Try Sanjo-Kai market for tasty food. Nijo castle is close by (15 mins walk) as well as other landmarks by public transport. All in all I would stay here again, as it was easy getting around, the staff were friendly, the room was big (for Japan) and I could easily connect to Netflix haha. Also the Wi-Fi was good. Thank you Park Royal for a lovely stay! I’ll definitely stay here again if I return to Kyoto!

This was a beautiful hotel to stay in. The room was so spacious (especially for Japan) and the bed was extremely comfortable. The room was very clean and fresh towels and loungewear were brought to the room everyday. We loved the onsen in the hotel and the complimentary skincare kits and face masks were a lovely touch. The staff were welcoming and helpful and assisted us with forwarding our luggage etc.

A truly wonderful hotel and we were sad to leave! The lobby and free coffee/hot drinks area was a really nice touch. Location was super convenient and we loved everything about it! Very comfy too. It’s a really nice hotel and we hope to come back soon as we liked it so much. Staff really nice and you could get free water and other amenities whenever, which was nice!
