We hadn't planned to go to Kyoto and so we chose this as we arrived at the station and very happy were we with the choice. The king size bed was very comfy and we rated ourselves to room service breakfast which was very nice and very pleasantly presented. Nice to be given a toaster to ensure warm toast.

Don't be put off that this hotel is located at a train station. Using my preconceived American notions of train stations as dirty and unsafe, I almost didn't book here. What you won't fully realize until you get here is that the train stations (particularly the two largest, Nagoya and here in Kyoto) in Japan are AMAZING. Soaring structures, spotlessly... More

The hotel location is really strategic. Close to the train station, it is very easy to arrive from Kansai airport. It is located in a very confortable area with many restaurants and shops. The rooms are cleaned and there are many restaurants or loung inside the hotel. I hope to come back soon!

High end hotel with excellent service. It rained for one of the days we were here so it's nice to have shopping and restaurants connected. Internet/WIFI is free. Our room faced the trains and we had no issues with noise. The room had a seating area with a loveseat and two chairs which was nice if you didn't want to... More

This hotel couldn't be in a better location for anyone travelling on a Rail Pass. Enough has already been said about the hotel so I will just add that we were pleased at the size of our room and also the bathroom amenities. Hotel is very clean and the staff is excellent. Did not eat in the hotel at all... More

Great location inside Kyoto Station, great when you have suitcases, straight of the Shinkansen and you are at your hotel. Great WI FI. Friendly staff. Close to shopping and restaurants. Great views from rooms.Comfy beds.

Excellent location on top of Kyoto station, which is really handy for getting to the major tourist sights by bus, train or subway. Well-equipped, clean room with a great view over the Kyoto Tower. The laundry service isn't cheap, but is good and quick. Service was excellent and most of the staff speak good English and they were very helpful... More

Most people get to Kyoto by Shingansen and spend a couple of days there. I think the best hotel option and by far would be the Granvia for that purpose. No need to hassle with cabbing it to a different hotel, just walk 7 minutes whithin the gorgeous station and you are there... Beside this is not a cheap station... More

We were upgraded on arrival and had a very comfortable room on top floor. Very convenient for travel, restaurants and shopping. We had to rush to catch a train when we left and the bell captain took our bags all the way to the platform, so helpful. Definitely recommend this hotel.
