Very modern and confortable hotel.
The hotel Granvia in Kyoto is modern, clean and well organized. The staff is very nice, polite and helpful. The location is very convenient to do day trips from Kyoto. There is a good choice of restaurants in the hotel although they are very expensive. We could hear other guests from our room. The hotel is beautiful at night with light displays and a spectacular view of Kyoto Tower. I would go back anytime!

Excellent hotel at Kyoto Station.
Excellent hotel at Kyoto Station. Outstanding Service & spacious rooms. Ideal if you have a connection to Tokyo or Osaka (Airport). And while you‘re there enjoy the architecture of the Kyoto Station by night. It’s simply amazing!

The perfect hotel! The place to stay in Kyoto!
Beautiful hotel and location could not be better! It is THE hotel to stay in Kyoto right above the train station, across the street from the Kyoto tower, tons of shops and restaurants everywhere! Luxurious, clean, kind staff, simply amazing! My only constructive criticism is in regards to their breakfast which could have some improvement - the food supposed to be warm (like scrambled eggs or hashbrows) were always cold. Regardless, I would stay there over and over again. It is really a wonderful hotel and location is unbeatable!

Excellent hotel
Hotel Granvia is connected to the Kyoto Station. The location is excellent, plus all the conveniences being in the station. The hotel staff speaks English. Room is spacious compared to Japanese standard. Breakfast (Japanese/Western) is very very good. It contains many options, food is delicious, coffee is great. We will come back again.

All of the restaurants were well above excellent. The view from Cotociel was worth the price of the meal. I will stay in the Granvia whenever I visit Kyoto.
