    “Fantastic Stay at Hotel Granvia Kyoto”

    First trip to Kyoto, and with only 2 nights here we decided to choose a hotel that is near to Kyoto Station. Best decision ever! This hotel is situated right above the station, location is the best and unbeatable. The international breakfast buffet is fantastic! There are also lots of places to dine and shop around the area. Thanks to the hotel we got a free room upgrade which was a pleasant surprise for our anniversary stay! The staff were all professional and ready to help, we dropped off our luggages in the morning upon arrival and they helped us to store until check-in time. Rooms are very clean and spacious, we liked that the shower, WC and vanity are separated. Overall we had a memorable stay and we love Kyoto very much! Thank you :)

    “Very convenient ”

    I stayed in a room for three, and the location was very convenient—great access to nearby places. However, the room itself wasn’t bright enough due to the dark furniture design, which made the space feel a bit dim. The female staff at the counters were friendly and helpful, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, my experience with the older male senior staff in a suit was not pleasant. When I asked him where the smoking area was, he didn’t answer and only pointed with his finger, which felt unfriendly and unprofessional. Overall, the stay had good points, but service consistency and clearer communication would make the experience much better.
