What guests are saying:
Location is ace. Comfortable and clean too!
The location is the best you can find. The room and hotel are clean.
I think that the room is quite small for this range of price (no space to let my lugguage open). The staff doesn't speak much English but professional.
But totally recommend this hotel.
Good location, convenient to travel around.
good location and nice food provided by hotel. Especially Thumbs up for the help given by front desk staff during typhoon period and be my translator at midnight time to coordinate with the airline CS to change my flight due to Osaka airport closure.
Highly recommended!!
Note to those who stay: the entry is down a side alley!
Nice finishes, great views (corner room), and solid construction. We rode out Typhoon Jebi while on the 9th floor and never felt scared.
It’s a nice hotel but there’s this constant overpowering, lingering flowery scent at their entrance (1st floor). As a person allergic to strong smells it got a bit uncomfortable after a couple days.
More prominent signs can be put up as hotel entrance is not facing main road. Overall very good staying experience and near to everything we have on our itinerary.

Hotel located near shopping area ”
Hotel is located near Nishiki market along Shijo Dori street. Restaurants is located across nearby Shinkyogoku Shopping District. Entrance to hotel is next to the lane, a bit confusing initially. Hotel do provide free night supper which is nice after coming back from night sight seeing. Will definitely go back there again if visit Kyoto next time. Keep up the good work Hotel Grand Bach Kyoto.

Good value for the money, convenient location.
The rooms are so tiny, there is no storage place. We had 2 small carry on that we couldn't unpack.
Not the most conformable room, but you get what you pay for.
We had stayed in 4 hotels during our Japan trip , this hotel was our less favorite. I do not know if I would stay again.

along the stretch of street with covered walkway which the hotel is conveniently located and what's more, it's just opposite the street markets. the hotel room shower was very luxurious, and it even has facilities like an onsen (public bath) at level 3 for use until 1am at night! great for a nice dip after returning back for a good night sleep! a very good stay indeed.

Cozy and clean rooms, great location near Nishiki Market.”
Hotel is conveniently located near a few train stations although if you are planning your trip around a JR pass, opting for a hotel closer to the main Kyoto Station would be more ideal. Nishiki market is within walking distance and the hotel is surrounded by a shopping belt enough to occupy you.
Accessing the hotel itself can be a bit of a challenge the first time as their reception is at the 2nd floor and the 1st floor entrance is at a relatively unnoticeable alley off the main street. A directional sign is present in Japanese so look out for that.
Rooms are very clean and amenities are provided on a daily basis. A comfortable and well maintained public bath is also available for those who are looking to experience a mini onsen and getting comfortable with the idea of being in the onsen environment before experiencing the real deal.

Good location.”
We spent 3 nights in Standard Twin Rooms. The rooms are just fit for twin beds and are difficult to open a 28 inches luggage. Besides, the walls are thin so that our sleep might be interrupted by the next door. However, the location of hotel is at the core area of Kyoto and let us readily to immerse ourselves in Kyoto city's convivial atmosphere and unique cultural heritage. The hotel also provides complimentary soft drinks and Ochazuke. I will recommend Hotel Grand Bach Kyoto Select to those who would like to deeply explore Kyoto and don't want to waste time on traffic.

The entrance of the hotel is a bit tricky to find but it's a very convenient location, within 15mins to the JR/metro station. The hotel room itself is clean. Staff are polite and friendly. The only negative we have is that laundry. Too less machines, too long queue. I had to wake up at 4am to do our washing...

Excellent location”
Pro:
It is an excellent location. Many restaurants, railways and shrines are within walkable distance. There are many shops, it is a great shopping district for the shoppers. The famous matsumoto drug store is just beside the hotel, you can get anything there.
You can select between an authentic japanese or western style for breakfast.
Cons:
The room is too small. I lived in a twin bed room with my friend and I don't have the space to walk after opening up our luggage.

Hotel location is good and convenient to visit tourist site on bus. The toilet has jets and makes bathing an nice experience, plus one can also use the public bath for free. They serve free supper at night and free drinks late evening. Only issue was the rooms are so small, you will not have rooms to place your lugguage. IF you have big or more than 1 lugguage, you may need deluxe room.

One of the hotel that prepare supper for its customers. The existing hotel entrance is located at the sideway instead of facing the main street (It seems like it was undergo a renovation ). Room was OK but a very much typical small Japanese room. Onsen was located in 3rd floor which gives extra credit for that.
