Overall good stay and hotel, it's located in a great location next to the main street and close to nishiki market, the room is a bit small but I guess that's to be expected on this type of room

My favorite accommodation in Japan!

We stayed at Hotel Gran Ms Kyoto for several nights of our 2-week trip to Japan and it was a highlight. Everything was so nice, clean, and comfortable, and it was really nice to be able to share a bed with my partner since we stayed in several twin rooms! The location was great- an easy 5-10 minute walk to Nishiki Market and the most centrally located. Wifi was fast, free water for drinking, and the price you can’t beat. Would absolutely recommend!

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
To start, the hotel's location is fantastic; it is centrally located in Kyoto and is close to the river, many subway stations, and many stores, restaurants, and attractions. The staff were also excellent and provided excellent and timely service. My main gripe with the hotel was the cleanliness; the room smelled a little like mildew — damp and musty — and we walked in once to a dead bug on the new (?) bedsheet. The bathroom did not have good ventilation, and there's no way to adjust the room's temperate since everything is centrally controlled. We kept our window open for these reasons, but since we faced a busy street it was often very loud with sirens. Even with the window closed it was not very soundproof.

The walls are thin, we could hear a tv and snoring through the walls. The wifi was slow and unreliable. The room was too hot at night and the thermostat didn’t seem to do anything. There was a high enough step into the bathroom that a stepping stool was provided. It was a somewhat long walk to the nearest subway. On the positive side, the location was excellent.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This hotel is located on Kawaramachi Street which is pretty much the main vein for downtown Kyoto. There is a lot of dining and shopping to do in the area so for the location and price, it was very well worth it. I overheard another hotel user complain about the AC not working in their room and hotel staff not really being able to do anything about that. Also convenient that a lot of the local transportation stops are closeby which included the bus, trains and taxi cabs literally parking in front of the hotel. Grand M's made my stay in downtown Kyoto well worth it and i would love to return here on my next Kyoto trip.

Decent place for the cost, good location

The location of this hotel was very convenient, walking distance from shopping, restaurants and bus/train. They provided adequate amenities such as toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, pajamas. The room was very small for the 2 of us and the bed was a double, both of which seems to be normal within this price range. One person had to sleep against the wall and right under the window, with curtains brushing against you. This room - while not luxurious - served our needs for a place to sleep, shower, and keep our stuff while we explored.

The rooms are small compared to western standards. If you have a clam shell suitcase, know floor space is limited even in a King Superior room. The Bathroom was very clean but there was a significant step up into the bathroom. If you have difficulties with tall steps, there are rooms available without the step into the wetroom/bathroom. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They can store Luggage for arrival/departure if you have an early arrival or late departure from Kyoto. Would highly recommend for a reasonable priced hotel in a fantastic location. 6 minute walk to Sanjo underground station and a few stops from Kyoto station on that train line. There are 2 laundry machines with tumble dryers available and accept coins only.

I felt like this property was misleading when it advertised air conditioning (AC) because it is not actually something you can control in the room. The hotel only has it on during certain hours and I was very hot all night as my window as chained shut. They also only have sheer window curtains and the bright lights from the stairway of the hotel across the street was very bright in my room all night. The WiFi was also terrible. But the staff was helpful and the bed was comfortable.

The location is the real star here—right in the heart of Kyoto, with easy access to everything. Temples, shops, restaurants, and public transport are all just steps away. It made getting around the city incredibly convenient, and we loved being able to pop back in for a break during the day. The hotel itself is simple and comfortable—nothing overly fancy, but clean and practical. If you’re planning to spend most of your time exploring and just need a good place to rest your head, this is a solid choice. Great value for the location alone. Would stay again just for the convenience!

The hotel was nice, and in a great location. The staff were friendly and helpful too. My only criticism was the noise in and around the hotel from other guests which did affect my sleep somewhat as the building has quite low sound proofing between rooms due to the building. If you are a light sleeper, this is something to consider, otherwise a great hotel and location.
