Great central location from everything
This hotel is located in the center of kyoto station. Was a little tricky to find getting off from one of the local trains but once we hit the central gate we saw the signs. The hotel is huge and the staff are more than accommodating. They were super nice and all spoke English. The hotel accepts and provides luggage forwarding. Our room was spacious for a Japanese hotel and very clean. There are tons to do in the station alone but we chose this hotel as its in a nice central location to all of the major things and sights in Kyoto

The room was clean, and the maids cleaned the room very nicely everyday. The room I stayed in was a bit far from the elevators, but that’s a good way to ensure you get your steps for the day. The location is very convenient with easy access to Kyoto station.

We booked this hotel for 3 nights, and planned to move to Osaka for 4 nights. Since the concierge is so nice and helpful, we cancelled the Osaka hotel and stayed in this one for 7 nights straight. The hotel is very convenient located inside the Kyoto train station. Which offers big shopping center, many restaurants ( make sure you find them) and shops. The room is big. Highly recommended.

This was my 5th stay at Hotel Granvia. What a dream to stay at a hotel located within the Kyoto Station - an escalator away from the subway and Shinkansen. The most convenient hotel in Kyoto. Also, many of the day tours outside of Kyoto met at the Kyoto Station. Love how I can forward my heavy luggage to my next hotel to make my train ride pretty much hands free! The hotel lounge offers a delicious variety of sandwiches and desserts. There is fine Japanese dining as well as a convenient gift shop with best Japanese souvenirs. Hotel Granvia is my #1 choice for all amenities!

Kyoto vacation
Amazing service, great access to transportation - central to to all trains and buses making it really easy to get anywhere in Kyoto and Nara. If possible get a breakfast meal plan - really great way to start each day's adventures.

Great hotel and right in the centre of Kyoto. It’s very convenient to travel to everywhere within Kyoto. The hotel looks amazing and the room was superb. The breakfast was pretty comprehensive. Definitely recommend to anyone and I certainly would be happily staying there again in the future.

Great hotel. We stayed for a week in Aug '24; family of 4 in two rooms.
Highlight: the ladies at the concierge desk. During the stay I left my phone in a cab and they were instrumental in getting it back. We asked them various travel related questions every day of our stay and they were super helpful each time.
Otherwise, hotel was a great hub for travel to other cities. Walking distance to great food, sights and shopping. Amazing to get out of bed and be on a train or in a taxi within minutes. After long travel days with kids great to get off a train and be in bed within minutes.
The only miss was the rules around the pool. I picked the hotel specifically due to the pool but it doesn't allow kids except for 7-9am, plus costs 1000yen per person to use. Hotel should reconsider these rules.
