Although we loved many aspects of this hotel, we were disappointed in the bedroom itself, which we found to be inadequate for two people. Firstly, the clothing storage space was grossly inadequate for two guests (largely because the coffee-maker / mini-bar occupied a disproportionate amount of space); secondly, we found that the bathroom affords an unusually scant degree of privacy. Furthermore, the only two English-language TV stations (CNN and BBC) kept switching to being dubbed in Japanese, and the front desk was not entirely helpful in resolving the situation.

Excellent superb service by every single member of the staff . This particular ritz Carlton should be recategorized as a 7 star hotel (if there is not such a rating , one should be started) instead of 5 star. This property deserves all the praise and then some - especially their staff and service.

In the true Ritz-Carlton tradition, the R-C Kyoto upholds the highest standards of customer service and provides a 5 star facility. We asked for help from the concierge regarding a tour guide and what to see and he responded with great advice and helped us make a great connection.

I will rate this hotel as 4.5 stars rather than perfect 5 stars. The minor complaints are the breakfast and the location. The Japanese breakfast here is not as flavorful as the one I have in Tokyo (another 5 stars hotel). The location is far away from high end shopping malls and the surrounding area looks like a very average neighborhood.
