Yamanouchi Nakahatacho Hotels, Kyoto

"The staff is friendly, helpful, well trained, and with good manners. The hotel is very generous to offer free and delicious snacks, hot and soft drinks, and even ice-cream in the lounge area. We felt most welcome and being treated well during our staying. This hotel is a gem."

"We loved everything about the hotel. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and able to help us in English. The building was very quiet, with a welcoming atmosphere. Breakfast was delicious, and there were enough choices to keep it exciting if you're staying multiple days. Our room was a nice size, clean, and the bed was comfortable. We didn't use the public bath, but many guests were and they seemed to enjoy it. Central location downtown and the subway is minutes away. We will definitely stay here again."

"The service staff is very helpful and the room is always very clean and tidy. The bath spa is also quite large and enjoyable."

"Loved loved loved my stay, and I honestly can’t wait to stay here again. My favorite part was the water pressure, and temperature especially in this winter. Customer service was amazing as well! Will return soon x"

"I had a 4 night solo stay at Hotel Granvia Kyoto. Location was excellent for sightseeing in and around Kyoto as well as day trips using the Shinkansen to other cities. Great restaurants are plentiful in Kyoto station and within easy walking distance of hotel. As a female traveler I felt absolutely safe in this area and using the trains/subway and walking at night. Often hotels near train stations are seedy but Japanese standards are not the same as Europe etc. I booked a superior room with a beautiful view of the Kyoto Tower and noise was a non-issue from the street or the trains. Rooms are soundproof and I slept well every night. The superior room was divinely spacious and thoughtfully well appointed. After the cramped and pricier hotel rooms in Tokyo, the Granvia was a welcome and relaxing change. My breakfast was included and I enjoyed both the western and traditional Japanese restaurants. Gym access was a nice touch to burn off the oishi ramen and sushi! Staff are attentive and very respectful. Very elevated experience at reasonable price and Granvia exceeded my expectations. Beautifully appointed superior room was a full suite with seating area as well as table/desk area. Conveniently located with Kyoto station attached to hotel was unbeatable perk for my sightseeing. Highly recommend!"

"Second year coming to this hotel while visiting Japan. Have enjoyed both stays. Onsen open late hours and being a few minutes to the nearest station make this location a go-to when I'm in the area."
