    The granbell provides a very comfortable superior king room perfect for couples. The public bath is amazing after long days of exploring. The women's amenities were a nice touch with quality skincare products. It's also conveniently located near restaurants.

    Had a fairly nice stay, the hotel is chic.

    The location was marvellous and fab, at a walking distance from a Maruyama park. Besides, it was next to the main shopping street and subway station, the local metro stations and the common areas, including the Onsen soaking pools on the basement level. The room was impeccably clean and fancy, with a private bathroom. The breakfast in the restaurant was incredible and lovely.

    relaxing onsen
    small room

    A hidden gem in Gion

    Strolling through the serene streets of Gion, I stumbled upon this hotel, a retreat that melded traditional comforts with modern touches. The onsen was the perfect end to my day.

    While the room felt a bit cramped for my family of three, we managed well with the great amenities available in the lobby and the friendly staff's assistance.

    Consider requesting cotton bedding in advance if you have allergies. It's not automatic but the staff is very accommodating.

    tatami floor
    cozy

    Just a good pick for a weekend jaunt in Kyoto with decent value for money. The room was cozy with a tatami floor that added a nice touch. For a better breakfast experience, consider exploring local cafes nearby.

    fantastic access to the river and vibrant streets of kyoto

    I loved starting my mornings with a peaceful stroll along the Kamo River and then immersing myself in the lively atmosphere just steps away at Hanamikoji Street. The breakfast options were varied and delicious, fueling me for long days of sightseeing.

    stylish design
    excellent location
    noise issues

    The Granbell Hotel in Kyoto impressed me with its stylish design and cozy atmosphere. My room, the Superior King Room, had a king bed that stretched from wall to wall, perfect for a comfy night's sleep. The view from the window was a nice touch. I loved the public bath. It was a fantastic way to unwind after a long day of exploring the city. The staff were friendly and helpful, ready to assist with recommendations and reservations. Breakfast offered a great mix of Western and Japanese dishes, and I particularly enjoyed the pastries. The location was excellent, just a short walk from many local attractions and restaurants. The vibe was relaxing despite minor issues was great.

    The Kyoto Granbell Hotel has a beautifully designed interior that feels both modern and traditional. The public bath was a fantastic way to relax after exploring, and its accessibility made it easy for me to use.

    Rooms could be more spacious for comfort.

    small room
    limited cleaning

    The room feels quite small, similar in size to other urban accommodations I encountered in Japan. Housecleaning only happens every four days, which seems a bit of a stretch these days. I chose not to try breakfast because it looked overpriced compared to nearby cafes, but there's plenty of options nearby if you want something different.

    great location
    really good hospitality
    cramped room
    lack of storage

    The hotel blends charm with a great central location. Staff offered really good hospitality, and the public bath facilities were good. The room felt a bit cramped and lacked ample storage, which was a drawback during the stay.
