Three and a half stars. Small hotel in the middle of everything in Gion neighborhood. Near Nishiki market and countless restaurants. But had to switch rooms since the first room we received was the width of the bed (this isn't an exaggeration) and we had no room for our luggage. Average breakfast for Japanese standards. If you're young and don't expect much in the way of service, excellent place to stay. Onsen was a nice touch but being in the basement a bit dark and claustrophobic.

Hotel Granbell was a perfect stay for our quick trip through Kyoto. The location was quiet though walkable to all the nearby attractions. The onsen was a perfect way to wind down in the evening and we appreciate the long hours of access.

Don’t let the simple entrance to the Grandbell Hotel fool you! Once you are inside, the grand foyer is revealed and your glorious adventure begins. The rooms are perfect, the breakfast is sublime, the location is superb, close to everything. Go out of your way to get to this property. We will come back to the beautiful city of Kyoto and the magnificent Grandbell Hotel.

We loved this hotel! The staff were very kind and helpful, nice amenities available. Amazing location, we walked most of the time! We opted to use a very close by 24-hour laundromat for laundry that had multiple large high efficiency machines (less than 5 minute walk). Would definitely recommend staying here.
