    “Fantastic Stay at Hotel Granvia Kyoto”

    First trip to Kyoto, and with only 2 nights here we decided to choose a hotel that is near to Kyoto Station. Best decision ever! This hotel is situated right above the station, location is the best and unbeatable. The international breakfast buffet is fantastic! There are also lots of places to dine and shop around the area. Thanks to the hotel we got a free room upgrade which was a pleasant surprise for our anniversary stay! The staff were all professional and ready to help, we dropped off our luggages in the morning upon arrival and they helped us to store until check-in time. Rooms are very clean and spacious, we liked that the shower, WC and vanity are separated. Overall we had a memorable stay and we love Kyoto very much! Thank you :)

    We booked two rooms for our family holiday at Hotel Granvia Kyoto and had a very pleasant stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was excellent, and the amenities were complete.

    “It was a wonderful hotel without any complaints.”

    I stayed at Hotel Granvia Kyoto, which I had wanted to visit for a long time as a base for watching performances at Kyoto Theatre and traveling in Kyoto. First of all, the location is unbeatable as it is right above the station. They quickly accommodated my early check-in and handled my luggage smoothly. The staff members were also very pleasant and always greeted me with smiles. The room was a standard twin, but it was just the right size, and both the bed and chair were very comfortable and easy to use. The room was of course thoroughly cleaned, and the housekeeping and linen changes during my outings were perfect. If I had to point out one minor thing, the toilet paper holder was a bit inconvenient to use. That just goes to show how satisfied I was overall. I definitely want to use this hotel again on my next trip to Kyoto. It’s a highly recommended hotel for a trip to Kyoto.

    “Location Location Location ”

    The location is perfect. It is right at Kyoto station, which has every train system in Japan. I could literally get anywhere. Also, so many shops and restaurants in the train station itself and right outside the station. ATMs are plentiful. I was worried that I forgot to get a ICOCA card at the airport. It didn't matter because there were so many machines to get one and refill when I needed. The hotel's staff are so sweet and accommodating. I had to switch rooms and I thought they were just holding my luggage for me for when I got back. No, it was waiting for me in my new room. I only changed rooms because I booked the last night separately since I extended my stay but the room I had was sold out. So, I booked a nicer room. The first room was clean but the carpet was pretty dirty. They provided slippers but I didnt want anything to fall. The second room, the carpet was lighter in color but very clean. Room service was great. Nice selection even at 10pm.

    The hotel is ideal if you need to stay as close as possible to the Kyoto Station, which will depend on your itinerary and travels. There is easy access to Shinkansen, limited express trains and local trains, food and shopping options plenty, both within the station building or around it (front and back of station building). However, if you don't need to be near the Kyoto Station especially if you are spending your time mostly within Kyoto, there are many other cheaper options in other locations.

    Everything about this hotel is great, from staff to location to cleanliness. The only issue that came up was that despite asking for a non-smoking room far in advance, we were assigned a smoking room and when we brought that up at the check-in time, they said the only available non-smoking room requires an upgrade and I ended up pay extra since I can't stand the smell.

    This hotel is clean, staff are great, easy check in and check out. This hotel is located right above the Kyoto station. There’s an entrance without going outside the station. Very convenient. Ground floor is the bus depot, bullet train station and other trains to go around. Lots of places to eat and shop within the same block. Once you get in the hotel it’s a different place from the hustle and bustle outside. Japan hotels are usually very tight in space. The hotel room I got is the usual western size where there’s ample of space. A little work/dining table and a chaise. Very spacious. It is surrounded by lots of places to eat, shops, there’s 7-11 at the ground floor for essentials, fresh food, water, snacks etc. One thing I would suggest is they add more lighting in the hallways. It’s a preference for safety. I recommend this hotel and will stay here next time.

    The location is excellent, directly connected to the station. Upon arrival, I left my luggage and went out hands-free. On the way back, I was able to have my luggage stored until departure, allowing me to fully enjoy the last sightseeing and buy souvenirs before picking up my bags at the station, which was stress-free. The staff was competent and pleasant, making my stay comfortable. The room was clean, and depending on the room category, the bath had a washing area in the Japanese style, allowing me to wash my body comfortably. Since I stayed during the dry winter, I requested a humidifier, and they brought it to me immediately. Thanks to that, my stay was much more enjoyable. Thank you very much.

    It was a great location as we needed to go to Nagoya to Ghibli park so being in the station itself is very convenient. We spent a day at Kyoto National museum and the 1001 Kannon temple which is within walking distance. Also the food above the station/ISETAN were great so didn’t have to travel far. Also easy to navigate around as there are ample shopping and Kombini for snacks in the station. Saved a lot of time if you are only staying a short time in Kyoto. Rooms are quite sizeable and clean.

    “Very good”

    I found it difficult to locate the hotel as we arrived from Kyoto station which was already very overwhelming. Room looked nothing like the pictures on Trivago and was badly lit and small. The bed was not very comfortable. The staff and location are excellent but there was no mention about an over 18 pool policy until we got to the hotel. No mention of it on Trivago, the hotel's own website and even the information on the tv, we only found out when my daughter who was already in her bathingbsuit arrived at the pool. I was disappointed in general, we came from a Double Tree hotel stay in Osaka which exceeded our expectations and we imagined the same if not better from the Granvia, a more expensive hotel.

    “Extraordinarily convenient location!”

    After visiting friends in Shiga, spent a day in Kyoto before flying out of Kansai International Airport. Booked this hotel because of its prime location atop Kyoto Station. It was so hot (35 degrees C) and humid outside, I didn’t want to walk around the city with luggage. I arrived at the hotel at 2 pm and they let me check in early for free. Was so nice to put my stuff in the room and then explore the city a lot lighter. Kyoto Station has so many shops and restaurants that are connected. Isetan Department Store is also located at one end of the station. If you are interested in exploring parts of the city, the subway is connected and so easy to access with a transit card like Suica or Pasmo (Apple Wallet compatible). The room itself was clean, but a little dated. The bathtub gurgled at times after I used the sink. But, the bed was comfy and the room extremely quiet. Got a good night’s sleep. With the breakfast buffet, I was able to fuel up without breaking a sweat. Selection was good with both Western and Japanese offerings. I checked out and just headed down the escalator to board the Haruka Express train to KIX airport on platform 30, which was super convenient. Took a lot of stress out of the equation. I would definitely stay here again for the convenient location, quality service, and comfort. Thank you, Hotel Granvia Kyoto!

    We booked the hotel because we felt we were getting 4* facilities for 3* pricing. It is only after we arrived that we realized that the location of the hotel was so good. Whether you fly to Osaka or arrive by Shenkansen, you need only take an escalator to another world and your hotel. Also, almost all tours leave from the vacinity of the Central station, so you only need stroll from bed to a an early morning day tour. Finally, the station design and amenities are a destination in its own right to enjoy. I would say the hotel can do better with tourists. I may have seen only a few non tourists at the property over my 6 days, yet English was not widely spoken and the concierge was only open 10-5pm!!! What if I need help (which we did) booking a restaurant outside of these hours? the front desk was perplexed by my request and could not help...

    The hotel is a part of Kyoto station. It can be accessed after you clear the JR ticket gates at the central exit but before you exit the station. On the right you will find an escalator going upto the hotel. The rooms are luxurious and had superb amenities. We loved it but if you are super fussy you may find the AC control slightly old. It had closets and a safe. The staff was superb. The hotel had bell boys to take luggage to your rooms. The Breakfast spread was outstanding with delicious fruits, an Omelette station and just about everything. It was slightly expensive but worth it.

    “A short journey.”

    This is my first time staying at this hotel. I chose it because it is located above the main subway station, which is very convenient. When I walked in, a very young girl came to greet me and asked me if I could help in fluent English. The room is really big, the largest room I have ever stayed in Japan. It is cleaned every day and is super clean. The staff here are very friendly. If you want to shop here, it is also very convenient, and if you want to go anywhere, the transportation is also very thoughtful. If I go to Japan next time, I will still choose this hotel.

    “It is a comfortable hotel that feels the careful attention to detail.”

    During my stay at Granvia Kyoto this time, I realized that there are rarely hotels that surpass its comfort. For example, the spacious and user-friendly washbasin, the depth of the bathtub, the compact storage of the showerhead, and the quietness of the air conditioning and refrigerator... there are endless things to mention. Additionally, I was impressed by the comfort of the slippers designed for easy wear. I would like to continue using this hotel in the future.

    I had often come for meals, but it was my first time staying overnight, and I was looking forward to it. The location was of course great, and everything was very good. The cleanliness of the room was impeccable, and all the necessary amenities were provided. The view from the room was also fantastic, creating wonderful memories with my teenage son. I added breakfast at the last minute, and it was wonderful with a wide variety of dishes. Check-out was leisurely, allowing us to relax even after returning to the room. I would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.

    Not only the location but also the cleanliness and quality of service were high; everything was excellent! I stayed here with my mother, and she also said she would like to use this hotel again the next time she stays in Kyoto. Thanks to the comfortable experience at this hotel, our Kyoto trip has become a wonderful memory, and I sincerely appreciate it. Thank you very much.

    “I was able to spend a dream-like time.”

    A trip to Kyoto with my preschooler. Considering convenience, I chose this place as it is closest to the station. After arriving in Kyoto by Shinkansen, it was very helpful being directly connected to the station. I was surprised when I saw the lobby! I thought it seemed luxurious when making the reservation, but it was truly a wonderful space and stylish. I felt a bit out of place with my child (><), but the staff immediately greeted us with smiles and guided us to the front desk. Although the room I booked was very inexpensive through this site, the staff provided such thoughtful service that I felt a bit guilty. The room was spacious and really clean, and the mattress was so good that I slept soundly. My child was very delighted to see the Shinkansen from our room. Since it was directly connected to the station, moving around was easy, and in the evenings, we explored around Kyoto Station, making for a truly enjoyable dream-like stay with my child. On the last day, my child cried, not wanting to go home, and we promised to come back again. I have stayed in various hotels, including overseas, and even worked in a hotel myself, but I think the staff at this hotel truly have excellent service. You could feel that each one of them cared deeply about the customers. During the reservation process, I had several questions over the phone, and each time, they kindly and pleasantly assisted me. This hotel was really one that I couldn't have stayed at without this site, so I'm truly grateful. This year, depending on the situation with COVID-19, I'm thinking of going again!

    “Thank you for your help.”

    After the tea ceremony, I checked in wearing a kimono, and the package sent via courier was delivered to my room. I took off the kimono, and when I tried to open the zipper of my roller bag, it was secured with a plastic tie that couldn't be cut by hand, courtesy of Yamato Transport, presumably for security. There was a sign that said, "Please cut with scissors." I had no scissors, and my clothing was inside that package. If I put the kimono back on and went to the front desk, I wouldn't make it to my next appointment on time. I tried to cut it with a razor from the supplies, but that didn't work. I threw on a bathrobe, called the front desk, and a female staff member brought me scissors. I was able to open the zipper safely and wear my clothes. Thank you very much.

    “The best accommodations near Kyoto Station.”

    If accessibility is your top priority for choosing accommodation, make your reservation here right away. I traveled for 3 nights and 4 days with my parents, and they were very satisfied. It's conveniently connected to Kyoto Station, making it easy to move anywhere and great for getting late-night snacks. What I loved the most was the breakfast. You can choose between a Western-style buffet and a Japanese home-cooked meal; both were very delicious, but I preferred the Western-style buffet more. They even make the omelet for you and you can prepare your own ochazuke, it was truly the best. The view of Kyoto Tower was perfect as well. I am 200% inclined to revisit when traveling to Kyoto again. Hotel Granvia Kyoto is the best!♥️

    We spoke with the concierge representatives 2-3 times over our 2 night stay. They were fantastic. Their command of the English language was also really helpful. Yamada in particular, was helpful to us regarding directions to local sites, restaurants, transportation. Services like this is one of the reasons we choose the Granvia Kyoto.

    “Above average”

    The location inside Kyoto Station was very convenient, which made getting around easy. However, the overall stay was disappointing. The bathroom had a strong urine odor, and the room furniture felt outdated. The gym was very small with limited equipment, and it required an additional fee to use despite being a hotel guest. The 7 AM opening hours were also inconvenient. Overall, the experience did not meet expectations.
