Close to train station and shopping. Can walk to many of the temples and shrines
Ravi, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is a very beautiful hotel with an amazing location. The onsen is wonderful. The rooms are very small and too tight for two people, and the air conditioning is poor which is brutal in summer. Also, the breakfast isn’t very good, I wish I hadn’t pre-purchased it. Overall this is a nice hotel but over priced for what you get.

Rooms small but nice great area
Clayton, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice location close to downtown area and close to transportation. Quiet with very nice common areas, amenities and friendly staff. The AC in the room could not keep the room cool and the room was very cozy, so that was a surprise.
Christina, 4-night trip

The hotel was in a great location and the staff were very friendly. There was coffee available in the lobby 24 hrs but it would have been nice to have coffee in the room in the mornings.

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!
Gavaska, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel in the last 6 months and it’s a great value for the price. The neighborhood is convenient to lots of hotspots but is quite quiet. The staff does a nice job taking care of the hotel. It isn’t super luxurious but really nice for a short trip to Kyoto. I would stay here again.
Nicole, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel

Check-in was super easy and all the staff were very friendly. The hotel was close to a lot of things to do and eat. Very walkable area and safe. The room itself was small but it seems like rooms in Japan are small in general. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. I would for sure stay there again.

Kat, 4-night trip
