Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae is a hotel a 5- to 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station. From 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. it serves ice cream, coffee and snacks, and in the evening it runs a free drinks service with sake, beer and wine. Some guest rooms have a separate toilet, sink and bath, and guests take the amenities they need from the first floor and can store luggage there. The hotel is away from central Kyoto, so buses or the subway are needed to reach sightseeing spots.
