Kyoto is a city where the future and the past co-mingle in a vibrant harmony. As sleek steel structures arise, setting the tone for modern architecture, traditional wooden machiya still line the streets. Kyoto was spared during World War II, and as a result is one of the only places left where traditional Japanese culture and architecture can still be fully explored; Hotel Granvia Kyoto is the perfect place to begin your journey. Incorporated with the customary Asian style is their use of modern furnishings, and an impressively, breath-taking use of futuristic architecture that is part of the Kyoto Station complex. Hotel Granvia offers striking views of Kyotoâ€(TM)s mountainous skyline, and luxury accommodations that combine natural elements with modern conveniences, a full gym as well as fourteen first class restaurants. Designed to meet all of your needs under one beautifully designed roof, Hotel Granvia gives you a private entrance to the wonders of this historic city.

I was lucky to be booked by my hosts (Kyoto University) into this hotel again, super convenient and truly pleasant. I had, again, a spacious and comfortable room with great view, even from the bed, of the Kyoto Tower and a great Japanese bathroom. Excellent supplies. The direct access to the station with its further malls and shops was ideal as it was rainy season, indeed Monsoon, and for instance Isetan and its food floors just make for a great Japan stay right there. The Western warm pool is not included but the price is low and one can easily walk there - this being an in-station hotel, walks are long indeed - and it's a great place for lap swimming and there is a nice jacuzzi. (Being a selfish business traveler here, I appreciate the no-kids-and-juveniles policy. :-) ) There is a good massage place basically in the hotel too. And ofc all buses and trains go from here, including non-official shuttle buses and so on. Altogether, I had a great, relaxing stay and would definitely be happy to come again during my next Kyoto trip.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Granvia Kyoto. The service was excellent throughout our visit – the staff were friendly, professional, and always happy to help. Our room was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and we had a lovely view of the city. The only downside was that, because the hotel is located next to the train station, we could hear the trains and some music from outside. It wasn't too disruptive, but it's something to keep in mind if you're a light sleeper. Our biggest disappointment was that our children, aged 16 and 17, were not allowed to use the swimming pool or the fitness center because access is restricted to guests aged 18 and over. We had been looking forward to enjoying these facilities together as a family, so this was unfortunate.
