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.

Everything about this hotel is excellent. The location, the breakfast, the service and the room size after staying in Tokyo. I wouldn’t eat there because there are so many other options at a better price. In terms of the B&B rate, it’s very competitive.

We stayed for 4 nights as part of a small group tour. The room was booked on our behalf by the tour organizer. We had a superior twin room, on the 10th floor. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room, much larger than the previous 2 hotels we stayed at in Tokyo and Hiroshima. We overlooked the trains but we did not find it noisy at all. The room had all the amenities we needed, and there was a daily delivery of an English newspaper. The room was very comfortable. We loved the traditional Japanese-style bathroom, the shower was wonderful. We had breakfast included and there were many delicious choices. With the train station right there, the nearby department store, shops and restaurants made it a perfect place to stay.

The hotel is located directly above the train station which was great. The location allowed us to explore the city by foot although some areas are a long walk. The hotel is clean and well kept. We were upgraded to a larger room upon check in and were very surprised how nice it is. We had a beautiful sitting area along with an upgraded coffee machine, DVR, robes, etc. The beds were comfortable and the AC/heat worked great. The staff is very welcoming. We will be back.

Of the four hotels that we used in Japan, this was our least favorite. The location is terrific as most reviewers have stated; the front desk staff is very hospitable; the housekeeping is generally good. However, the hotel needs refurbishing with areas near the elevators showing signs of wear and tear. Our room had chipped furniture, plumbing that was often running, and bathrobes straight out of 2nd hand stores.

This is our second time staying at the Hotel Granvia Kyoto. The first time we stayed there, we had a room overlooking the trains which was very interesting but a little noisy. This time we got a room with a view of the city between two buildings and the room was very far away from the elevator. I asked for a view of the Kyoto Tower and was told our room type did not include a tower view. I booked through Expedia and there was no option to book a Kyoto Tower view. I think booking directly with the hotel is better for view preferences. The breakfast buffet was good with many choices and I liked the small omelette with tomato and cheese. The concierge, Mr Kawabata, was very helpful. He even walked with me downstairs to show me where the JR train entrance, buses and taxis were located. He went above and beyond my expectations The location is very convenient if you want to take trains, buses and taxis. We switched hotels and were more centrally located to many attractions including the Nishiki market which was a totally different experience which I preferred. The Hotel Granvia Kyoto is a good choice for first timers to Kyoto but it depends on your location preferences.
