Quick overview: Service features and basic information about THE Royal Garden Hotel series
The THE Royal Garden Hotel series was officially launched in 2018. The original Royal Garden Hotel Fukuoka (2011), Royal Garden Hotel Kyoto (2011), and Royal Garden Hotel Tokyo Haneda (2014) were rebranded and renamed and incorporated into the THE Royal Garden Hotel series. In the same year, two new brand locations were opened in Kyoto Shijo and Hiroshima Riverside, expanding the brand series to a scale of 5 hotels.
Tokyo: The flagship location of THE Royal Garden Hotel series
THE Royal Garden Hotel Tokyo Bay Maihama Resort will open on February 13, 2026. With a resort design that blends nostalgia and exoticism, the hotel offers 750 guest rooms and is the largest hotel in the Royal Garden Group. The hotel features restaurants, multi-functional activity rooms, convenience stores, lockers and other facilities. It is within easy walking distance of DisneySea and there is also a free shuttle bus between Maihama Station and Disneyland.
THE Royal Garden Hotel Ginza 6-chome opened on May 30, 2024. The hotel's design blends retro and modern cultural elements of Ginza, offering 273 guest rooms and suites with a colorful and diverse style. The hotel features a Japanese-style Western restaurant and a brightly colored retro-style public bath. It is located in the Ginza shopping district, which is full of shopping malls, and is close to Higashi-Ginza Station, where the Hibiya Line and Asakusa Line intersect.
The Royal Garden Hotel Kyoto Umekoji opened on March 12, 2021. It is located next to Kyoto Umekoji Park, Kyoto Aquarium and Railway Museum. The hotel offers 246 rooms and suites on floors 2-6. Rooms are available for double and triple occupancy, while suites are available for four occupancy and feature a separate living room. The lobby on the first floor includes a 24-hour Family Mart, a restaurant, a large public bath, a large banquet hall and meeting rooms.
Mitsubishi Estate Hotels & Resorts was officially established on November 1, 2000, originally named Royal Garden Hotels & Resorts. Headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, the company is responsible for the development, management and operation of the Royal Garden Hotel brand. Since opening its first Royal Garden Hotel in Nihonbashi, Tokyo in 1989, it has developed several extension series. In 2024, it changed its name to Mitsubishi Estate Hotels & Resorts.
Royal Park Hotels and Resorts owns Royal Park Hotels and Resorts, as well as three THE brands: THE Royal Park Hotels ICONIC, THE Royal Park Hotels, and THE Royal Park Hotels CANVAS, each offering different levels and positioning, such as comprehensive star-rated service, brand flagship stores, brand representative stores, and lifestyle boutiques.
Excellent Location and Convenient Transportation: **Close to Station:** Very close to JR Umekoji Kyoto West Station (1-minute walk), making it very convenient for JR train passengers. **Close to Attractions:** Umekoji Park, Kyoto Aquarium, and Kyoto Railway Museum are all within walking distance, making it especially suitable for families with children. **Easy Access to Kyoto Station:** Only one stop away from Kyoto Station, providing easy access to Kyoto city center or other areas in the Kansai region. The hotel is about a 15-minute walk from Kyoto Station, with many izakayas (Japanese pubs) and convenience stores along the way. **Near Bus Stops:** Bus stops are also nearby, providing convenient access to other tourist attractions (about 2-3 minutes from the hotel). **High-Quality Facilities and Comfort:** **Spacious and Comfortable Rooms:** Many reviews mention that the rooms are more spacious, cleaner, and tidier than other Japanese hotels, with some room types offering excellent views. Two different types of pillows are provided for guests to choose from: high-firm and down-filled. The bed is on the firmer side, and I slept very comfortably. The bed is a single king-size bed, and two beds can be moved closer together. Separate bathroom and toilet: Most rooms have a separate bathroom (with a bathtub and bath salts provided) and toilet, improving convenience and comfort. Other toiletries are complete. Large public bath: A large public bath is provided for guests to relax after a long day of sightseeing. Convenient services and surrounding facilities: Convenience store: A convenience store (FamilyMart) is directly connected to the hotel ground floor, making it very convenient to buy snacks, drinks, and daily necessities. There is also a Starbucks nearby. Plenty of breakfast: The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of dishes, including those using local Kyoto ingredients, and has been well-received by many guests. Other facilities: Coin-operated laundry room, luggage storage, free Wi-Fi, etc., are all available. However, there is no water dispenser; bottled water is provided daily.

This hotel is located next to Umekoji Park and is also close to the Ocean Aquarium and the Railway Museum. There's a train simulator at the front desk on the first floor (I didn't quite understand how to play, haha, but it was really fun, worth trying). Next, regarding the room, I felt it was different in size from the one on the website; I don't know if it was just for show, but it didn't feel as spacious as it appears on the website 🥲. However, it had everything you'd expect! There's a washing machine and dryer on the second floor, and the Friendship Hall and large public bath on the first floor, which I think are worth trying as they're very relaxing. The downside: the information on the washing machine on the TV didn't seem to match the information on the second floor, including the time. I think this is something the hotel could improve.

The hotel itself is quite nice. The double room is not small by Tokyo city standards; large luggage can be fully unpacked and organized on the floor, and there's also storage space. The bathroom is also quite large, and because there's a large public bath on the B1 level, the shower room isn't usually used much. The double bed is large and comfortable. The lighting is ample, and there are plenty of power outlets, which is very convenient. The only major drawback is the extremely high percentage of Chinese tourists. If you're choosing this hotel specifically for the large public bath, I strongly suggest you think carefully. During my three nights here, I encountered three Chinese tourists with large tattoos who didn't seem to care about going into the bath, and even more outrageous ones who started scrubbing their feet by the pool – it was disgusting. However, if you don't use the public bath much, I would still recommend this hotel. Transportation is very convenient; it's a three-minute walk from the Kabuki-za exit of Higashi-Ginza Station (with an elevator). All the famous shops in Ginza are within walking distance. If you are using Haneda Airport for entry or exit, it's even better, because there is a direct train from Higashi-Ginza Station on the Asakusa Line to the Keikyu Line, which goes directly to Haneda Airport. It's fast, convenient, and cheap. Alternatively, if you have a lot of luggage, taking a taxi directly from Higashi-Ginza to Haneda Airport is not too expensive.

1. Room: Spacious for a hotel in the Ginza area, with a large bed and good blackout curtains; those who prefer complete darkness to sleep will appreciate it. There was some car noise at night, but I was too tired from shopping and fell asleep quickly, so it wasn't bothersome. However, those who mind this should consider it. Five stars. 2. Service: Only self-service check-in and no breakfast were provided, so four stars for this aspect. 3. Location: Within a 5-minute walk to Higashi-Ginza subway station, about 10 minutes on the Ginza Line. Tsukiji Market is also a short walk away. Most importantly, the Limousine Bus to Narita Airport is right across the street, eliminating the need to take the subway and carry luggage up and down – five stars.
As everyone says, this hotel is very clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The receptionists, cleaning staff, and Lawson convenience store employees were all very friendly. I just want to list a few things that made me unhappy: 1. Perhaps because the bath towels and face towels were new, the fibers clung to my body and face. 2. Although the hotel description said it was within walking distance of the theme park, it could take about 30 minutes even for adults. 3. The walk was long, both in the cold winter and the hot summer, whether going to the theme park or going home after playing. 4. Even when you're queuing for the shuttle bus to the theme park, the buses don't always run in order. Outside the hotel's main entrance, a staff member told me to wait behind the "To Theme Park" sign (which also said to wait behind this sign), so I obediently waited in the cold wind. The staff member went inside without me noticing, and the shuttle bus arrived. However, the bus stopped across the street. I looked around, wondering, "Did someone get off first? Or will it come around to this side?" As I was looking around, a group of people waiting for the bus on the sofas inside the building came out and stopped before me. Even though I was at the front of the line, I couldn't find a seat. The staff only appeared at the very end of the disembarking crowd to announce, "The bus to the park has arrived," so waiting outside seemed pointless. The next day, I tried waiting inside the building. As soon as the bus arrived, the staff announced, "The bus to the park has arrived," so waiting inside seemed more convenient and reassuring than waiting outside. ④ The shuttle bus from the park to the hotel was full, and I couldn't get on. The last bus had a long queue, so I had to take a taxi. The fare was 1400 yen. This was the first time I had taken a taxi from a hotel near Disneyland. I saw another guest's review saying, "The bus from the aquarium to the hotel passes by the land-based exhibit, so when I got to the aquarium, the bus was already full, and I couldn't even squeeze onto the last one." If I had arrived earlier, considering the show's end time, I could have boarded the bus at the aquarium. If you want to go home after the show, it's best to skip the shuttle bus. ⑤ Guests who have booked breakfast have priority and a separate queue. If you booked a room-only package and purchased a breakfast voucher at the hotel front desk (not the restaurant), you will need to queue in another line. You can also queue on the TV in your room. I hope the hotel will make some improvements and establish a more comprehensive system in the future.

I stayed at the Greek Blue Hotel for two nights at the end of February. As for Tokyo Disneyland (TDL), the bus stop is a bit far, but it's not an official stop, so there's not much you can do about it. It's fine when the weather is good, but it can be troublesome when it rains. It's a 10-minute walk from Ikspiari to the Tokyo Disneyland bus stop, so be careful. There are no buses from Maihama Station from evening until the last bus at 10 pm, so be aware if you're going to Ikspiari after visiting Tokyo Disneyland. As for Tokyo Disneyland (TDS), the entrance isn't far from the bus stop, but as other reviews have mentioned, the buses get very crowded after the park closes, so be careful. However, they add some extra buses on Saturdays, so they seem to be more flexible in this regard. Buses to Maihama Station in the morning can also be crowded, so I recommend arriving at the entrance about 10 minutes early. The room was clean and spacious, nothing to complain about, but if I had to nitpick, it would be: - I wish there was a stool in the bathroom (there was one in the room, but it was heavy). - The bathroom lighting could be brighter. - There was a kettle in the room, but it remained untouched after I requested cleaning. I would appreciate a replacement if possible. (There was even a bowl of instant noodles inside.) - I couldn't clearly see the wattage of the microwave's "high" setting (it was clearly 600 watts). - The hairdryer was weaker than I expected. These are minor issues, but... - The large table was very practical. - The sofa was sturdy, making it comfortable to eat at the table. - The convenience store was well-stocked and very convenient. - The staff were very friendly. The price was very reasonable, around 10,000 yen per person for a single room on weekdays (though I'm worried the price might increase later). As I mentioned before, once you get used to it, traveling by bus is no problem at all, so this hotel offers great value for money. I'd like to try their breakfast next time.
