Not worth $432 pn

I paid $432 per night, which was NOT worth it.Breakfast is horrible and you have to clean up after yourself, put your plates and mug on a tray and put it away near the kitchen.I don’t think the hotel was clean. There was half a carpet in the bedroom and it looked dirty.Given they don’t clean every day, and you have to request them to clean, the dirtiness feel makes sense.This was the ONLY place in Japan I felt wasn’t as clean. Staff could barely speak English but they did their very best to help with questions.They helped with booking my Maiko photoshoot, tea ceremony and a tour to Nara.They typed Japanese on their phone and showed the English translation.Do NOT book the private taxi tour to Nara with them. Some tour company left flyers at this hotel. It was a total rip off.They charged 52,800 yen and I mentioned three things I wanted to do.I actually told them I want to do a 5-hr public transport tour but they said the 4-hr private taxi tour would be better as you win 1 hr. In the end, I had just 2 hours in Nara with visiting 2 temples and there was 30 min left for shopping (the 3rd thing I said I wanted to do in Nara).The hotel can’t do anything about it but they advertise this tour company so be aware.The bathroom is very small and the bed is oddly placed. You can’t get into bed from the sides but from the foot end only.The location is great. It’s just a 7-minute walk to Gion district and very convenient.$432 p.n.wasn’t worth it given the room size,cleannlines,breakfast

Kyoto Granbell Hotel was a fantastic stay. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout my visit. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with great amenities. I really appreciated the early check in option, which made my arrival smooth and stress-free. Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent Hotel

Fantastic experience from start to finish. The rooms were modern, stylish, and comfortable—clearly designed with the guest in mind. The location was perfect, especially for walking and exploring the area. The food on-site was solid, and the spa amenities were a standout—truly a highlight of the stay. We would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a well-rounded, relaxing, and upscale experience.

The room was super tiny. Did not have enough space for two people to have their suitcases open on the ground. They only will clean your room once if you stay 4 days, which is a big problem given the tiny trashcan in the room. The bathroom also reeked of mold.

We recommend this property. It is modern and fun. This is right where you want to be to enjoy Kyoto. You have to accept the rooms are a.bit tight size wise however it was fun to be close together. They had a full bar but no food availability there however just steps outside the door were a dozen choices. There was a Buffett breakfast but we did not chose that option. We left feeling we would return and recommend.

Hotel was alright, rooms super small, so small that there was nowhere to put your bag! The hotel itself was nice but not much to it, it’s in a great location. Overall it’s lacking that hotel feel and the rooms being so tiny made me look elsewhere on my return tomorrow. I don’t feel it was worth nearly 400 dollars a night.

Amazing property, especially for the price (near $100 USD per night). Great location for shopping, sight seeing and train. Very stylish room with extra seating and just enough room for luggage. Very friendly staff and nice lounge area. The men’s onsen was also very cool. Would not look anywhere else if I stay in Kyoto again in the future.
