This was my 5th stay at Hotel Granvia. What a dream to stay at a hotel located within the Kyoto Station - an escalator away from the subway and Shinkansen. The most convenient hotel in Kyoto. Also, many of the day tours outside of Kyoto met at the Kyoto Station. Love how I can forward my heavy luggage to my next hotel to make my train ride pretty much hands free! The hotel lounge offers a delicious variety of sandwiches and desserts. There is fine Japanese dining as well as a convenient gift shop with best Japanese souvenirs. Hotel Granvia is my #1 choice for all amenities!

The instructions to get to the hotel from the train station are poorly made and very confusing. We ran around the RR station with large duffles for >20mins before we ventured upstairs in to different ditto find the hotel. And we won’t even start about the directions on the RR station that are basically all in Japanese, and nobody can understand except the Japanese.

Outstanding hotel! Room was beautiful and had lots of signage in English explaining how everything worked including shower system. Staff went out of their way to make sure that needs were met. Concierge staff service level just incredible. I wasn’t feeling well and they contacted nearby medical facilitiy, made arrangements to be seen by Doctor and gave me a map and clear directions how to get there. Also advised me that he spoke English and a pharmacy was conveniently located next door. We already have two more reservations for this property in the near future.

Watch for additional charges for kids upon check in. I had indicated the number of kids and their ages in the Expedia booking so I was surprised when upon check in they requested addition cost because “this hotel treats all guests as adults”. I escalated to management but they did not honor the prepaid Expedia price and insisted on an uncharge. Also, kids are NOT allowed in pool. Only 18 and up. So much for treating all guests as adults no matter their age! Location was awesome, room very nice, great bathrooms. Just quirky pricing.
