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
Depressed and old hotel rooms
This hotel has an extensive reception and wonderful staff on reception. And wonderful housekeeping staff who are up against it with the tired rooms. The breakfast is very good. However, the rooms are shocking. We were in a standard family room, double bed and single. The smell of smoke on the corridor was really bad, but the smell in the bedroom was worse. It was soulless and so disappointing. The bathroom was tiny, and the carpet was so worn. We have stayed in many hotels in Japan, and this was really just an odd and unsettling place. You are basically just staying in a room in a busy train station. Do not recommend at all. The city is fabulous. Find another hotel to stay at

Disappointed. Complained at checkout but just received a very sorry ! Japan is amazing with lovely people
We stayed here for two nights in room 1106. Vast hotel but well located. Both nights the air conditioning did not work overnight and we struggled to sleep. Complained the first night but nothing changed. The air con worked in the evening and morning but nothing changed overnight so I conclude it is switched off over night which is bizarre. The pool advertised is ok but you have to pay extra for it albeit on £5 but the hotel is quite expensive. Advertised as speaking English but would have struggled with reception without google translate.

No heating/electricity after midnight in winter time??
We stayed at the hotel once last year, the only issue was the front desk staffs were chatting to each other instead of helping us, we stood up there for about 10 minutes and finally one person approached us. We decided to forgive you guys since we know you don't have enough English skills, maybe it's the reason you were pretending blind. When we planned our trip this year, we decided to stay at the same hotel just because of the location which is just outside the central exit. After checking in completed, the lady showed us a peace of paper, informing us there was a mid night maintenance starting from the 2nd midnight , or 3rd night very early time. We were shocked, since there was no electricity at all in the room we were assigned. Is it legal in Japan to not to provide heating in winter time？？？The lady insisted that the hotel provided the ongoing maintenance on the website whilewemade the booking. I am sure there's no such information listed. No one would say at the hotel room without heating in winter time at this latitude. The only compensation was for us to pay $100 more to stay at other room. Give me a break! Please do business in a decent way ! This is not Japanese culture we have experienced. We are just foreign tourists, we don't know the surroundings, and it's late, do we have other options? To make a long story short, we found a very nice hotel within 2 minutes walk- The Thousand, very friendly staffs, great room, great meals. You may find my review for this hotel as well. No more business at this location any more. Only the motel like room with very thin quilt assigned us gave us the chance to try out your neighbor's. Thank you for that!!!

Perfect location in Kyoto!!
This hotel is where you want to be! It’s so convenient staying on top of the train station. We shopped and dined at Kyoto station while we were staying here. We also were able to walk to donki a few blocks away, and jump on a bus to visit the Kiyomizu-Dera. Our room was clean and spacious. They provide pajamas and slippers and all the toiletries you may have forgotten at home.
