The Granvia is an excellent hotel if you are coming into Kyoto on the Shinkansen. It is located right in Kyoto Station and is easily walkable to get there with luggage. The hotel is beautiful and very clean. The staff were all very nice and helpful. We would definitely stay there again if we are in Kyoto.

Great central location from everything
This hotel is located in the center of kyoto station. Was a little tricky to find getting off from one of the local trains but once we hit the central gate we saw the signs. The hotel is huge and the staff are more than accommodating. They were super nice and all spoke English. The hotel accepts and provides luggage forwarding. Our room was spacious for a Japanese hotel and very clean. There are tons to do in the station alone but we chose this hotel as its in a nice central location to all of the major things and sights in Kyoto

The staff were very nice, and the location is fantastic. The hotel is essentially part of Kyoto Station, so lots of places to shop and eat. It is also makes it easy to catch a train or subway. Our room faced the train station side and there was some railyard noise that may annoy some. The other side of the hotel faces the Kyoto tower and a busy street, so I am not sure if it is any better.

Really enjoyed my trip at this property - absolutely loved that it was right next to transportation. You do get a little lost trying to find it but going through their webpage does pull up a nice little tour to get you from the station to the hotel. A slight downside - I wasn’t sure how to enter the property after hours as there was more than one entry but waving at a staff member let us in. Rooms were large and people were friendly. In line with walking everywhere in Japan it did take 2-3 minutes to walk to our room from the lift so I’d suggest if you have mobility issues I’d request a room near the elevators. I would definitely stay here again.
