Hotel Granvia Kyoto

A perfect hotel

I have stayed at the Granvia Kyoto on two trips. The location is terrific, with JR trains and Kyoto subways virtually at the door. While some rooms are above the tracks, soundproofing is excellent. It is an elegant hotel, everything about it is superior, and the service is always great.

OK, not great

This hotel is fine as a place to spend the night, and the location is convenient to busses and trains. But it is an enormous hotel (95 rooms per floor), so don't expect any personal service of any kind. Food at breakfast is not good.

luxury hotel

Not a budget hotel, but if you want a a super central location and a place to actually look forward to coming back to in the evening, instead of just a place to crash, this is a good choice. Lots of food options in the station mall downstairs. Staff was uniformly helpful.

Fantastic location, service and room!!

This hotel was located directly in the train station and was fantastic not only for the service but the location and room. The food in the hotel was excellent!! This was really a very special hotel and i would HIGHLY recommend it.

Great hotel

Were staying in May 2008, room is not too small as we were expecting from reading reviews. Had a great view of the city and mountains (18th floor). Bathroom is small, but clean, rasors, hair brush and toothbrushes are provided, along with robes. A lot of food spots around and inside the Kyoto station. Very convenient for day trips travel to Nara, Hiroshima, etc.

Elegant and Convenient

We were upgraded and got a really elegantly appointed room with a wonderful view out over kyoto. Service and cleanliness was impeccable. And the convenience of being right at the train station which is also the main hub for city buses could not be beat.

Outstanding Hotel

This is a great hotel! Stayed 2 nights in May and was very pleased. Excellent location to subway and bus system, first rates room and excellent food. This food is high priced, but you get what you pay for. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone!

Conveniently located above the train station

This is a great, western-style hotel, located literally above the train station in Kyoto. It's very convenient if you have a Rail Pass and are coming and going by train. The subway has a stop here as well, so it's easy to get around the city. Another plus is that the rail station is full of restaurants of all kinds, so it it's raining or you just don't feel up to going out to dinner, you have plenty of options in addition to the numerous restaurants in the hotel (which looked good but are pricey). The only drawback is the size of the hotel, it's huge! We had a long walk from the elevator to our room and the lobby was always packed with people. Mot really a problem, but there are smaller, quieter hotels in the city which some may prefer.
