This is probably the best hotel where I have stayed in the last 10 years. It is perfectly located, at the starting point of all public transports (train, subway, bus). Rooms are perfect, quiet, with a king size bed and with a beautiful view (ask for a room looking towards the center of the city, at a high floor). There... more

Ideally located above main Kyoto station. good facilities and service and value for money. Ideal for people wanting a springboard to explore surrounding areas too. We hired bikes to cycle around the town so saving even more money. more

I was thoroughly unimpressed with the Granvia, particularly because TripAdvisor raised my expectations sky-high. Good: Rooms were good sized. Location is convenient when you arrive. Bad: -It takes about ten minutes to get from the lobby to your room because the place is so huge. -Completely impersonal service and rooms. -The location, while convenient to the trains, isn't close to... more

I stayed 4 nights at this hotel to visit Kyoto and near cities. The election was perfect, very good hotel in an excellent location. It was not too expensive, so I think this is an ideal hotel to stay in Kyoto and travel around. Make the reservation through their web page which is cheaper. LOCATION: is just over the main... more

Just above Kyoto station and all transportation (train, bus and subway) start from here to Osaka, Nara or eastern Japan. Department store and shopping arcade is in the same building and tourist office or counters are all over. people are helpful, no worry to loose my way anywhere in Kyoto. Here is perfect base to explore in Kyoto and all... more

This hotel is right over top of the JR railway station, easily visible from the trains and marked by signs throughout the station. There is also parking for anyone arriving by car. This is a modern city tower hotel, built as part of the new station in the early 2000s. The location makes the layout somewhat confusing, although the long... more

I Stayed in the hotel Granvia for a business trip to Kyoto. The location is fantastic, right in the main station and right by the subway. The rooms were very pleasant and well appointed, however are very expensive relative to what you get. The hotel is surprisngly quite considering you are by the station. A few minor complaints: - There... more

Delicious (if pricey, but hey, they are in the hotel) restaurants, terrific location, absolutely no noise from the station, very spacious room with a fantastic view. Access to station and food stands invaluable when time was short. (Got half price rooms for three days.) Stayed on the 15th floor with separate concierge and the entire hotel set a standard for... more

Excellently located for access to the station and a cosy and familiar welcome to Japan. It is a super stylish western hotel with all the mod cons. For the main Kyoto sights and downtown it is a little out of the way however. One other criticism is that hotel guests have to pay the hefty cover charge to the sky... more

Not a lot more to add that has not already been said. The location is great and we found the hotel very easy to get to from the station...just look up and you will see it! There are lots of food venues within walking distance, with a lot of the better ones being on the 8th, 9th and 10th floors... more
