Stayed in the Twin Superior room in June 2026 with my 17-year old son for 3 nights. The room was thoughtfully appointed, gorgeously maintained and very spacious. The hotel is inside the Kyoto Station so coming in on Shinkansen from Tokyo and day trips to Nara and Arashiyama could not have been more convenient. While the Kyoto Station is bustling and crowded 24/7, when you walk into the hotel, it’s a peaceful oasis. The staff was very helpful and professional. Other areas of Kyoto are easily accessible via trains, taxis or walking. We used the laundry service which was very convenient, it was picked up at 9:30 am and delivered back to our room by 5:30 pm the same day. It was a little expensive though. Would definitely stay here again.

Location: Excellent. This property is located in the main train station which allowed for easy access to all trains, including Shinkansen and the underground. Yet very quiet. Shopping and restaurants all within walking. Hotel: Wonderful. Had everything required and I stayed 7 nights. Only issue is that the gym is not included. Staff: Wonderful and helpful. Room: Very nice and spacious. I recommend this hotel and would certainly stay here again!

Hotel Granvia is the perfect location: the JR and local trains are all downstairs. We’ve stayed here 2 years ago and loved it! The staff, bell hops and housekeping are so courteous and helpful. The hotel is inside the Kyoto station which hosts, restaurants and lots of stores for shopping. Hotel Granvia also has a beautifully lit Cinderella type carriage (at night) and a Kyoto sign - a photo opportunity! The only downfall this year was we were on the 9th floor and facing the train station (JR train side). Each morning around 3am we can hear the trains passing by… Other than that, we will stay at this hotel again facing Kyoto Tower next time we come to Kyoto.

This is my favorite hotel to stay at, the location and staff are amazing. The only thing that was a little negative was the slight wear and tear of the tables in the room and the floor area around the toilet is a little stained. Other than that, I love the size of the room we have, it’s huge for by Japanese standard. Slept comfortably and would 100% stay again because of how convenient it is being next to Kyoto Station
