About the Hotel
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.

Reviews for Hotel Granvia Kyoto
Outstanding Hotel!!
This hotel is outstanding!! We absolutely loved our stay here whilst in Japan. The bedroom was incredible! Felt newly refurbished with all mod-cons! Incredible views of Kyoto tower from our room, located in the station but you would not know when in the beautiful hotel and its amazing reception area! Perfectly located for trains, metro and walk across the road to lots of bars/restaurants! Highly recommend and would love to return! Thank you for spoiling us!

A Wonderful Stay with Exceptional Service and an Unbeatable Kyoto Station Location
We had a wonderful experience during our stay at this outstanding hotel. Our first night’s room, located right next to the elevator, had a truly gorgeous arrangement that completely impressed us. Although our second night’s room, just two doors away, was also very comfortable, the first room was truly exceptional. We deeply appreciate the hotel’s thoughtful effort in keeping us on the same high floor and arranging rooms close to the elevator for both of our stays. We would especially like to commend the front desk officer who welcomed us during our first check-in. She was extremely kind and helpful, and we were very grateful that she offered us an early check-in after our long journey from Kansai Airport, especially given our advanced age. The hotel’s location is truly enviable. Its close proximity to Kyoto Station and the metro makes it an ideal base for exploring the city, particularly for senior travellers. The many excellent restaurants and department stores nearby also made dining and shopping extremely convenient. The buffet breakfast was fantastic, with a great variety of options. Although the rooms are a little dated, they are spacious, beautifully kept, and immaculately maintained. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly, courteous, and helpful. In recognition of the hotel’s excellent service, we have absolutely no hesitation in staying here again and look forward to returning on our next visit to Kyoto.

Great Position, Poor Room Quality
The location of the hotel was excellent; however, for us, the experience felt like clickbait. The lobby and shopping/restaurant levels were beautifully appointed and gave the impression of a high-quality hotel, but unfortunately the room itself was extremely disappointing. The room was tired, dated, and clearly in need of refurbishment. The carpet was threadbare in several areas, the couch was heavily worn and so uncomfortable it felt like sitting on cardboard, and the overall condition of the furnishings made the room feel neglected rather than welcoming. While the bed itself was reasonably comfortable, the pillows were in very poor condition and added to the overall sense of wear and lack of care. Given the contrast between the impressive public areas and the substandard room, we left feeling incredibly disappointed. Unfortunately, based on this experience, we would neither stay here again nor recommend the hotel to others.

Perfect Hotel
You cant beat this location. The rooms are very nice too. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here. You dont hear any noise from the trains or subway. The concierge was very helpful on several occasions

Outstanding Concierge Service and an Excellent Stay
I felt compelled to write a review of Hotel Granvia Kyoto because the concierge service was so outstanding. The hotel itself was truly excellent, but the concierge staff made the stay especially memorable. On one occasion, a member of the concierge team kindly walked me all the way to the Shinkansen entrance so I would not miss my train to Tokyo. That level of kindness and attentiveness left a lasting impression. The hotel had many other strengths as well. Its location directly in Kyoto Station made travel much less stressful and extremely convenient. The breakfast choices were excellent, and I especially enjoyed the buffet at Le Temps, with its huge selection of wonderfully prepared foods. The room was wonderful, and the amenities, housekeeping, and overall comfort were all excellent. Hotel Granvia Kyoto was an outstanding place to stay in Kyoto.
