Hotel Granvia Kyoto

Good hotel to stay in. It's located just above the main Kyoto train. It's also just across the road to the Kyoto Tower, one of the famous attractions. The hotel is clean, quite spacious with 2 single beds and some extra space. Facilities are Good and complete toiletries like toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, soap, shampoo, etc. Bed is comfortable and can sleep well. Breakfast food are labelled clearly as vegan, vegetarian, etc. There're lots of shops and eateries too around the hotel area. I would stay here again whenever I'm visiting Kyoto.

It was extremely hot during our stay in Kyoto. Fortunately, the hotel is located right next to Kyoto Station, which made getting around much easier and helped us save energy in the intense heat. We chose to pay extra for larger rooms, and they were spacious and comfortable. Since we had a late evening flight, we paid around JP¥14,800 to extend one room until 6:00 pm for a late check-out. While it was convenient, we felt JP¥14,800 was quite expensive for just a few extra hours. One thing we found surprising was that hotel guests still had to pay extra JP ¥1,000 per person to use the swimming pool. We thought this was rather unusual for a hotel of this standard.
