The hotel is exceptional and frankly exceeded our expectations. Its minimalist architecture centered on an inner garden is a real highlight. We had a fantastic stay. Everything was perfect, including the public baths and the breakfast. We stayed in a superior room. The location was good, only a few streets away from central metro and bus stations. The room overlooked a quiet street

12 minutes to go to Umeda, center of Osaka, by subway but actually we did like the area of the Fraser Residence better. Reasonably low priced. As a morning runner, less than 500 meters away a baseball court you can run around (350 meters) without worrying about cars, bicycles etc. We made a wash daily while being in the Fraser Residence - perfect.

Hotel Granvia Kyoto

Hotel in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto

Ideally located within Kyoto Station, Hotel Granvia Kyoto boasts an indoor swimming pool, a fitness centre and 9 dining options. The hotel offers spacious rooms with chic décor and modern facilities.

The Granvia is a comfortable and well run hotel located inside Kyoto Station. Kyoto Station is an architectural landmark and always a pleasure to see. It is also a transportation hub for busses, subways, and local train service, essential for visiting the far flung attractions of Kyoto. This was our fourth stay in this hotel. The hotel concierge service is exceptional, and I communicated frequently with my concierge contact, Saori, long before the start of the trip to arrange restaurants, and tourist visits. When she realized that we were interested in fusuma (Japanese sliding door painting), she located and identified a number of temples that were open only at very limited times, and that were not mentioned in any guidebooks.

Amazing experience. The room was huge and cosy. The onsen was fantastic. Everyone was extremely kind, they barely speak English but it was not a problem at all.

Location was excellent, easy access to JR station and plenty of food options despite the late hours. The vibes of the property was also on point, being an old Japanese-style building. Though I didnt use the lounge much, I could see that alot of thought was put to design the lounge area too.

Very clean, very conveniently located in walking distance from the station, eateries, buses. Tastefully designed with lots of thoughtfulness, tranquil. Made good use of the onsen which was a relief after long days of exploring. Very nice, special breakfast was a nice start to the day. Very professional, courteous staff, I will stay here again and highly recommend! The laundry room was small but the machines are efficient.

Lovely Japanese style experience, very nice room, with everything you need. There is a lot of entertainment options in the common area, including a Play Station, plenty of books and manga.

Loved the design of the hotel. Like being on a cruise ship. The view from our room was gorgeous. Felt luxurious and special! The rooftop bar was spectacular at night. Staff were warm and welcoming. We initially booked 2 nights here, but after the first night, we decided to book in for a 3rd! We had an executive room and had access to the executive lounge with free drinks and food at certain times. It was amazing value! 100% recommend staying here in an executive room :)
