United States of AmericaWe were very happy with our stay at Kyoto Granbell Hotel! It was very welcoming from the start and we always felt like help was readily available. The room itself was crisp and clean, both the bedroom and the bathroom. The layout was somewhat unique with a king bed that stretched from wall to wall with a window at the head, but it definitely made for a nice sleeping environment. Felt very cozy. Plus, it was good for our baby too who could crawl around on the bed with fewer opportunities to climb or fall off. We had a pretty view as well, and an awesome location in walking distance of plenty of food, attractions, and train stations. All in all, lovely room and hotel!
United States of AmericaThe size of bed is big. The location is in old kyoto so we can feel the atsmosphere of old japan.
IndonesiaThe central location of the accommodation. You have access to coffee and tea all day. The weather was cold outside but you could warm up in the baths at the facility. Would love to return there.
South AfricaEverything about this property was amazing from the location, to the staff, and of course breakfast. Excellent bar as well. I would absolutely stay here again!
