"Close to subway station but no wi-fi."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
The lobby was beautiful, we walked in and I was pleasantly surprised. However, once we got into our room, it was pretty mediocre. The bed was hard and the bathroom was really musty, which I could deal with if there had been WI-FI! The bathroom was so damp that there's no way it's not growing mold. However, the room was equipped with a television and a small refrigerator, as well as robes for both my husband and myself and a hair dryer. We didn't use the public bath, but it was supposed to have great views. As for the location, it was super close to the subway station, which is awesome. It was a slight trek to the Nishiki Market, which was amazing. There is a nearby spanish restaurant which offers free wi-fi and the food is good as well, so we ate there a couple of times. The polite and helpful hotel staff provided walking maps of the area, which were useful. We were allowed to leave our bags after we checked out until we were ready to leave, which is always nice.

"Hotel Granvia Kyoto - an oasis in a train station"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 26, 2012
This a first class hotel. Especially in Japan where tiny rooms are the norm the rooms were luxuriously sized and very nicely furnished.. English was spoken by many staff. The location can't be beat for convenience. It is in the train station with easy access to the Shinkansen, subway and major bus routes. Also if you are travelling to another destination they will help you ship your luggage there for a reasonable fee.The train station has numerous shops, restaurants,even a department store and two malls.
"Good Kyoto hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 25, 2012
We stayed 4 nights at the Righa Royal. It is clean, convenient, and well maintained. Typically, the beds are not ultra comfortable, although in our stay in Japan we learned to expect this. We had 3 in the room (2 double beds and one sleeper sofa bed) and it was not cramped. The bathroom is very spacious for a Japanese hotel. We were pleased to find coffee in the room, but very surprised to find a bill for 300 yen for each time we opened one of the convenience packets. Unfortunately, the hotel was unwilling to waive this charge, which for a 4 night stay in 2 rooms we found a bit cheap. Other than that complaint, we would recommend the hotel.
"Great little hotel + bonus points for the spa!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 24, 2012
We thought that this hotel was in a great location for what we wanted from our stay in Kyoto. We were doing day trips over to East Kyoto, a day trip to Nara etc. so it was great that it was near to Kyoto Rail Station & some good cheaper spots to eat in the vicinity - japanese pancakes, noodles etc & a supermarket less than 5 mins away. The SPA on the 11th floor is amazing, especially for the price that we paid for our semi double bedroom. (we slept fine in the narrower bed). Hotel staff spoke good english & the hotel was clean and pleasant. we'd definitely stay here again.

Far from Kyoto city center. It was a 20 minute subway ride anywhere from the hotel, but it was nice and quiet. Rooms were large.
"fare from the center..."
This location of this hotel is only interesting if you have to be at the Kyoto convention center. Must to be a very fancy palace in the 80, but look old and not so fancy by now.
"Grand Prince Kyoto"
Beautiful and serene. On the grounds where the Kyoto Accord was held. A bit out of the way for dining unless you plan to eat at the hotel. Wonderful service.

"Outskirts of Kyoto"
Located at one of the last stops of the Kyoto subway. Rooms are very large when compared to Tokyo standards. It will take 30 minutes to get into downtown Kyoto via Subway and taxi is about 2400 Yen one way. Not many dining options in the area although there is an excellent Izakaya restaurant about 10 minute walk away. Stay here if you want a large room […] and don't mind being a ways from downtown. Internet is 1000Yen/day which was the only downer. Read more
"Grand Price Hotel"
Very nice hotel; great service. However it is out of the way. There is a metro station within a 2 minute walk however. Hotel restaurants are quite expensive. And it does not have a coffee maker! You pay $4 for an instant cup.
"Out of the Way"
The hotel is very nice, but is so far out of the way. Kyoto is a great city stay in town and travel to your conference. It was a good deal though. Also, the subway stop shuts down early and you have to walk a long way in the dark (no street lights) to get back to the hotel.
"Great hotel - bit out of town but nice quiet location"
We had 3 nights here and were very impressed. Basic room price was good, all dining etc. were a bit expensive, in our opinion. But, there are some nearby restaurants and takeaways to help. It could be getting a bit faded now, but it really is still perfectly kept - clean, neat and modern furnishings. Staff were most helpful with local information, train […] / taxi / bus etc., and very friendly to the children - which always help. Read more
"Outstanding Hotel"
Our room was quite spacious. The hotel staff was helpful answering our questions. There is a 24-hour convenience store near the subway station and bus depot where danishes, snacks, and juices can be purchased. The hotel provides luggage storage service at Kyoto Station (service terminates at 6pm and is located near one of the shinkansen entries) so […] there was no need to stow our bags in the station lockers. There is some travel time from the central city to the hotel's convenient subway stop on the Karasuma Line; but with Kokusaikaikan being the terminal station, there are ample opportunities for a subway seat. Read more
"Great Deal"
A great hotel at affordable prices. All the best services with no complaints.
"Very nice hotel"
Very convenient to the convention center and only about 20 minutes by subway from the downtown area. Large rooms (for Japan) and everything was new and clean. The breakfast buffet was excellent, though a little expensive. I will definitely stay there again, the next time I attend an event at the convention center.
"excellent"
classic hotel, they bumped us up to a great suite. The food is pricey but there are cool restaurants down the street (check out Indofasia).
"Great Hotel!"
Staff was very friendly, helpful, and fluent in English. The hotel is a little outside of the major attractions in Kyoto, but it has close access to both subway and bus line. It was a perfect choice for our vacation.
"Great hotel, but located far from downtown"
Hotel staff was polite and helpful throughout our entire stay. The place was nicely maintained with a spacious lobby. Our room was in impeccable condition with a fantastic view of the surrounding area. They had nice Sealy mattresses, but the pillows could've been better. The hotel itself is located near the Kokusai Kaikan subway station (K 01) on the […] Karasuma Line which is a bit far from Kyoto Station (K 11). It takes about 20 minutes to travel between the two stations. The hotel is also located far from the city center, so there's not much to eat in the general location although Takaragaike Park is right next to the hotel which is great for a nice leisurely stroll, jogging, biking or even renting a boat to float around the peaceful lake. Overall, a great place to relax. Read more
"Excellent Hotel"
Location/Getting there: Booked via hotels.com for a conference. Location was extremely convenient for that purpose, being just across the street from the Kyoto conference center. Getting to the hotel was a snap despite us having way too much luggage. We took the bullet train from Tokyo (flew into Narita) to Kyoto and then local Kyoto subway to station […] K01. Exit 4.2 from Kokusaikaikan station debouches about 2 blocks from the hotel. Seamless transit system, no problems anywhere. Service: Courteous, professional, helpful, top notch. Language was not much of an issue, even for us non-Japanese speaking Americans. Rooms: We stayed on the 8th floor. The room was very well and tastefully appointed and large even by US standards. Great soaking tub. View (overlooking conference center and surrounding hills) was lovely. Internet: Only disappointment in that there was a daily fee (about 10 USD, obviously may vary based on exchange rate) for internet, but that was pretty trivial. There is also a charge by-the-minute business station (2 PCs in a nook off of the lobby) with attached printer. A nominal per-sheet charge. Getting to Kyoto: It was pretty quiet around the hotel (which was great). Getting into Kyoto was simple and convenient via subway. (A daily subway pass was Y600. Otherwise a one-way trip from Kokusaikaikan (K01) to downtown was Y280.) The ride from K01 station to Kyoto central station was 15-20 minutes but not a hassle at all. Getting out of Kyoto: Obviously the subway and JR work great, but as we had too much luggage we took a shuttle bus to Itami airport. The hotel can help with shuttles to both Itami and Kansai. You can book at the desk but must give the shuttle company 2 days advance booking. Shuttle picks you up at the front door, makes a few stops around Kyoto to other peoples' doors then off to the airport. Overall: A great hotel, excellent location if you are going to the conference center, pretty convenient even if you really will be spending most of Read more

"Comfortable, yet located in the middle of nowhere"
The hotel is really comfortable, and the service is perfect. The only drawback is the location. It is the outskirts of Kyoto. Thus, it is highly recommended only for persons that have a conference in the hotel itself or a neighboring International Conference Center. Or for somebody that loves a silence and a beautiful park next to the place!
"Grand Prince Hotel Kyoto"
The selection of food available for room service is very limited.
"Grand Prince Hotel Kyoto"
Getting to the hotel was easy - it is a short walk from the last stop on the Karasuma subway line, exit 4-2. That is good and bad - it is the last stop so you cant make a mistake, but it is about 20 minutes from Kyoto, a bit remote for our liking . The trains are great - regular, frequent and on time. Buy the daily subway pass for 600 yen. Staff were […] efficient and courteous. There were three of us. The room was clean, spacious and well appointed. The toilet seat was always warm, which make the Kyoto Protocol-ers a bit annoyed, but they would have been happy with the old CRT TV. As westerners, we wanted to be able to make a cup of coffee , but we noted that we had to pay for the coffee and Japanese tea sachets provided, which seemed a tad miserly, for such a Grand Hotel. And the hot water jug, which seemed to double as a noodle cooker, only had Japanese instructions and there was no crockery except water glasses. Bring your own milk (creamer) and sugar as well. The cafe in the hotel took last orders at 8.30 but were not too enthusiastic when we rocked up at 8.20 soon after arrival on our first night and the waitress didn't suggest any alternatives and seemed relieved when we walked away. Make sure you get there well before closing time and maybe the experience would be a bit different. We ate in the hotel's Chinese restaurant and they took a very long time to seat us, even though hardly anyone was present. (Probably working out whether they wanted our business, because they closed soon after). The meal was average by Japanese hotel/restaurant standards we had experienced. Because there was not a lot on offer in the nearby village, we ate in Kyoto after the first night at the hotel's restaurant. But even in Kyoto dont leave eating too late. The criticisms are really minor things but were disappointing to experience, particularly since we had come from other hotels in Japan, some more expensive and some less expensive, that provided these simple services liberally and Read more
"Koyo hunting at Kyoto"
Nice big hotel in a quiet surrouding. The night scene of the hotel garden is particularly attractive, very pleasing to walk around. Room is very spacious with comfortable beddings, large closets and big bathroom. We have a wonderful stay.
"さすがプリンス!!"
バスルームの水はけが悪かったです^^;中庭があり、ベルボーイも対応良かったです^^
緑に囲まれた立地は最高。建物も村野藤吾先生の設計昔のよき時代のホテルを堪能しました。

"立地に勝るメリットあり"
ホテルと京都駅カウンター間で荷物を運んでもらえるので、いつも利用しています。これのお陰で、手ぶらの京都観光を、時間いっぱい楽しめます。場所は京都市街から少し北に離れますが、地下鉄なら思ったより近いし、逆に周辺環境は自然豊かで静かな場所なので、考えようによってはむしろ良いかも知れません。
"利便性が悪いようだが、返って街中より混雑がなく、ゆっくり出来る。"
土曜日の宿泊でしたが、ツイン2部屋の料金は非常にリーズナブルでした。 国際会議場の利用者の宿泊が有るためか、 施設も綺麗で、部屋も綺麗で広く、バス、トイレ、 洗面、シャワー室も有り、これまた広くてゆっくり できました。 ここを拠点に、また、ゆっくりと、京都を周って 観たいです。
"グランドプリンスホテル京都"
順番を待って並んだわけでもないのに、チェックイン手続きに10分以上かかった。その間、こちらは立ちっぱなし。 また、ホテルの予約システムに登録されていた名前が異なっていた上、チェックイン時に書く宿泊票と照合もせず、キーと間違った宿泊証明書を渡し、こちらから指摘するまで気付かない。 さらに、5分以上待たされた上、理由も説明されず、あっさりと「お待たせして申し訳ございません」の一言で済まされ、宿泊証明書も訂正されずに済まされた。 フロントの対応や予約事務・システムに難あり。 部屋は広め、清潔感があり快適。
全体的に良い印象でした。ありがとうございました。 一つ情報を訂正致します: 2/24チェックイン 2/26チェックアウト 以上で、御礼まで。
"ホテルの部屋が広い"
街の中心からは少し離れていますが、車(タクシーなど)を使用すれば問題なし。観光主体で色々まわりたい人向けというよりは、静かな環境で部屋でのんびりしたい時にはとてもおすすめです。 今回、ロイヤルフロアにアップグレードしていただいたため、他の部屋はわかりませんが、ベッドはとても眠りやすかったです。クラブフロア特典は、マッサージ器が使えたことかな。
"立地だけが"
サービスは申し分なかったのですが場所が不便でした。 しかも、近道の地下道は夜になると通れないのでかなり遠回りします。

京都駅でチェックインでき荷物はそのままホテルへもっていってもらえますし(時間はせっていされています) ホテルでチェックアウトした後も 京都駅まで運んでくれます ので 身軽な状態で観光できるので気に入っています「 今回大変混んでる時期だったのでミスがあったのか 予約の部屋が無く 一つグレードアップした戴いて スイートルームに泊まらせていただきました 大変素晴らしいお部屋で窓から見える紅葉がとても素晴らしかったです

"バス、地下鉄が、近い"
日曜の朝、朝市に、ホテルからバスが出ていました。ラッキョウの甘酢付けや、小さい丸い柿、お赤飯買いました。 お赤飯に、漬物を、入れてくださいました。 宝ヶ池も、散策しました。30分くらいで一巡りです。かけたり、歩いたり、地元の人が、沢山います。 鴛鴦、白鷺、亀がいました

"どうぞ家族で"
研修の場所がすぐ近くだったので選択しましたが、一人旅で泊まる所ではないなぁと思いました。でも、ベットに入るとすぐ意識がなくなるような心地良さで、隣の部屋の音も聞こえず朝まで目を覚まさなくて良かったです。早朝の宝ヶ池の散歩はとても気持ち良く、朝食も美味しかったです。今度は家族で泊まりたいです。
"地下鉄駅にも近く移動に便利"
平日であった為も料金以上に快適な宿泊ができた。 ホテル内のレストランで夕食を取ったが、サービスも良く 快適な食事が出来た。 是非、又宿泊したいと思います。
"静かな京都(8階 ロイヤルフロア)"
長男が京都で下宿をしているため素泊まりで2泊させていただきました。街の喧騒から離れた宝が池に位置するため、とても静かで「京都らしい」宿泊ができました。ホテルスタッフの方々のサービスも丁寧 且つ 節度があり、素晴らしいと感じました。 伝統あるホテルのため、1階エントランス等には若干の年月を感じるものの、部屋は数年前に全面リニューアルされており、プリンスホテルグループ統一のデザイン・色調のもと極めて快適で清潔、落ち着いた時間が過ごせます。バスルームは広く、またシャワーブースがバスとは別に分かれているため、気持ちよくシャワーを浴びることもできました。 場所が京都市街から若干離れているせいか、今回利用した際には宿泊料金も京都市街と比較して安く、主として車で京都郊外等を観光されるのであれば、コスト […] パフォーマンスも含め最高のホテルだと思います。また京都を訪れる際には予約させていただくつもりです。 Read more
"広くて快適な部屋"
観光で5泊滞在しました。 ツインの部屋だったのですが、とても広く綺麗でした。窓の外には緑が広がっており、気温も中心部よりは低いですので、暑い夏でも過ごしやすいです。 また、車で訪れたため、無料で出し入れがスムーズな地上駐車場だったことは結構大きかったです。 地下鉄の駅とバスターミナルまで歩いて数分なので、それらの手段で出かけるのにも問題ありません。 ただ、ホテルのまわりには本当に何も無く、最寄りのコンビニも地下鉄駅の逆側の入り口周辺まで行く必要があります。 京都に車で訪れる方には特におすすめできるホテルだと思います。

"Très confortable mais excentré"
Très bon hotel de 8 étages à 20 mn en métro (station en face) du centre de Kyoto. Excellent standing avec des chambres spacieuses et confortables. Par contre évitez l'espresso à 9 euros. Je le recommande chaudement
"Grand Prince Hotel Kyoto"
Très propre et confortable. Prix des déjeuners et restaurants plutôt élevés, un peu excentré par rapport à la ville.
