The location of the hotel is good. But the entrance is along the side road from the main road. First time will need to know how to navigate, otherwise the place is good.
The room is decent, clean and comfortable.
Response from Property: Thank you very much for staying at Hotel Grand Bach Kyoto Select.
We are glad to hear that you liked the location of our hotel. However, we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the difficulty in finding the entrance. Although our hotel is located in the center of Shijo Dori, the entrance faces Fuyacho Dori, which we hope will provide you with a relaxing atmosphere.
We are very grateful for your compliments on the cleanliness of our rooms.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write us.
We look forward to welcoming you to our hotel again when you have a chance to visit Kyoto.

A five star hotel, five star location at the central of Kyoto, shopping and eatery are within walking distance, complimentary drinks every night where you can bring it up to your room. My room has a king size bed which you hardly can find in Japan. Shower and water pressure are good. Since my room is a king size bed, it is understand that there might be limited room to open 2 luggages. I will recommend this hotel ! Cleanliness good !
Response from Property: Thank you very much for staying at Hotel Grand Bach Kyoto Select.

It's right beside the train station and along the tourist attraction
Hotel shower IS THE BEST, as there's the massage shower
The king bed is so luxurious
However Aircon is kind of hot, I think they fix temp in the winter
Response from Property: Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the convenience of our location, the luxurious king bed, and the amazing shower.

Hotel is located right in the middle of Kyoto shopping belt. Room is nice and clean. The only downside was that there was no space to open a large suitcase fully.

Nice hotel and great location! Very convenient and on a great shopping street. Lots of restaurants and things to do around. 15- min walk to Gion and 20 min walk to Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka areas.
It’s about a 5-10 min walk to major subway stations. I’ve very please led with my stay. The nightly drink tokens were great and the public bath was a perfect way to rest after a day of sightseeing.
Only thing is there were only 2 washer/dryer machines in the whole hotel so it made it possible to do laundry. You’ll have to wait. Also it’s a very busy tourist and shopping area but you’ll always have something to do.
Also it’s hard to find! It’s not on the Main Street! Wish the hotel would send directions or a prompt about it.
However, I’m still very happy with my stay!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Location is perfect. It was easy to go around from hotel as it was walk distance from Gyon district and also had metro stations near by.
Hotel is really nice. Room is big compared to other hotels we have been to during our Japan trip.
Hotel has its own laundry room which was very useful. Although i wish the washing machines were cleaner.
