the open my luggage and take my jacket . they keep my luggage 5 hours and when i open and was not there i call the manager and he don't fix the problem, not safety place
This hotel is centrally located (literally on top of The Kyoto Central Station), has great restaurants and cafés, gym and pool and excellent service. Wouldn’t go anywhere else...
Outstanding location, staff, rooms, bathroom! Only wish their gym and pool were open before 8am in the mornings. They wouldn't accept tips - awesome service is just a part of Japanese culture.
Convenient location. The rooms are a bit outdated but seems like the hotel is renovating so that should not be an issue in 2018.
Enjoyed the stay very much. One of the best hotels ever stayed. Great breakfast.
Great value and the location is amazing.. cant beat being above the main train station with access to everything including shoppinh center and ow so many restaurants... staff was great and rooms very clean with everything you need. Highly recommend!
We frequently travel around the world but it was our first time in Japan. We were nicely surprised to find that the hotel is physically linked to the station. It is also linked to an amazing shoping center. The hotel is excellent with extremely nice staff. They treat everyone like royalty. The rooms were great. Breakfast buffet was more of a branch with all the types of food anyone could wish for. We consider it the best hotel ever.
Can't beat the location. Convenient for doing day trips e.g. Nara and Osaka as well as visiting sights within Kyoto. Plus all of the places you can get snacks or a quick bite are at your doorstep.
Convenient location at train station with shopping, lots of great restaurants, post office and atm's. Clean and nice but not luxurious.
Definitely stay here for convenience and comfort. Staff is incredibly helpful.
This hotel is in the perfect location for anyone who will be traveling by trains in Japan. Hotel is a little dated but conveniently located and very clean. Gym was nice. Hotel bar was absurdly expensive - there are many better places nearby.
Great Location! I will choose this hotel as well next time to Kyoto.
Perfect location if coming from Tokyo on the bullet train. Hotel was very nice, if a little large and generic. Staff, particularly concierge desk, was very helpful.
Being at the Kyoto Train Station, this hotel is ideal. Kyoto transportation system is almost centralized from the Kyoto station. Hotel is clean, and extremely quiet in the guest floor. We had the room facing north, i.e., seeing Kyoto Tower right out from the window. That's a nice plus.
Strategically located, since you can move from the station to ANY part of the city surroundings like Nara or other cities like Tokyo. Buses go from there to visit the town. I can not imagine a better service than received always friendly and efficiently almost perfect. I travel quite frequently for business and leissure around the world and certainly thi is a hidden treausure. Is a Pitty there are no other Gran Vias around Japan and the rest of the world!
Beautiful hotel located right in the Kyoto train station, with views of Kyoto tower across the street and a pool as well. Room was was spacious and clean, and multiple restaurants etc right nearby.
I stayed at this hotel several times before. When it was newer, the room condition was excellent. This past experience that I had staying with the hotel was in general still pretty good. Especially, I was making a quick 1-night stay in Kyoto for a business trip, and was taking the express Shinkansen train between Kyoto and Tokyo. You couldn't find a better location than Granvia Hotel for an on-the-run business traveller, as the Hotel is right there in the same complex of the Kyoto train station, with an easy access to the gates of the train station that connects with the express train, the JR train, the local train and also the subway. The station is right in the heart of Kyoto. Within 10-minute ride on the subway, you will be visiting the amazing and always crowded Kyoto downtown shooping district. Or, if you have very limited time for a qucik but nice dinner or breakfast, you will find the Isetan shopping mall right next to the Hotel in the same train station complex, with more than 50 restaurants under this gigantic mall, which has probably the longest escalator, inside any mall in the world, that goes all the way up for 11 floors. It is an amazing scene just by looking at this unbelievable escalator. Well, if you have not yet stayed with this Hotel, I would suggest to try it for yourself. Another good thing is that its room rate has been somewhat reduced to a very reasonable range, as there are a few new and wonderful hotels recently developed near the shopping district.
Being right in the train station made arriving and departing Kyoto very easy and saved cab fares. City buses depart from the station and with the all day pass (500 yen) one can go antwhere. The station provides diverse and reasonably priced eating options. The only thing the hotel needs is wi-fi.
The location of this hotel was marvellous! We arrived late at night at Kyoto railway station from Osaka airport and were immediately in the hotel! It was very quiet (despite being a part of the railway station) and we had a wonderful view of the trains coming in and out of the station, as well as the city. The next day we went out the station door to find all the tourist buses waiting for us. You can buy a day pass for all the buses for 500 yen at the little bus ticket office. It also has a bakery where you can buy coffee and something to take with you for a snack.
Beautiful hotel; steps from the shinkansen, close to shopping and transportation. Note that there computer/business office consists of three computers, difficult to use. So take your computer if you need one.
