Hip modern hotel with Japanese aesthetic ”
I have to commend hotel reception Ms Miyu Yakabe for helping us with our lost baggage and redirecting it to our last stop in Osaka on checking in to Kyoto Granbell. Thank you, Miyu! The hotel arranged a Maiko show in the hotel lobby. It was a special event. We absolutely loved it! The dance and interaction during the show by Maiko Fukunae san was most enlightening and interesting. Do get tickets to this show. Fantastic location to access Gion and train stations to other places. The buses in Kyoto are so convenient and quite easy to use. Bus stops are very near hotel. You can take Raku buses 100, 101 and 102 for sight seeing. We took a normal bus as we did not have much time. We stayed in twin rooms, even though small, were very comfortable with Handy mobile phones you can use outside hotel. Good coffee in the lobby for the guest and it’s complimentary. The public bath on B1 is great. Try it. The lobby setup is very cool and inviting. Long couches and a long table to sit. Great hotel !

Wonderful!”
Stayed 5 nights over Sakura season and this hotel was incredible! Great location within a 5 minute walk to Gion and to the train station/bus stops. The staff was so gracious and friendly (and they have a couple people on staff who speak English for those not from Japan). They went above and beyond to ensure we would be absolutely satisfied with our stay (made room recommendations for our reservations) and they made my daughters birthday so special with origami animals and reserving a cake for us! The room was comfortable, quiet, dark. There’s massage services available after the long walks from touring Kyoto! And the public bath was beautiful and perfectly hot! We ate breakfast at the hotel daily (except not served on weekends) and it was delicious! And slightly different every day! We received some drink coupons and the bar area is very relaxing. Fresh ground/brewed Coffee is available all day in the lobby They had many COVID precautions, but it did not limit the comfort of our experience!!!

BEST HOTEL STAY in Japan”
I've traveled all over Japan during my 2 week holiday, from tip to toe and Kyoto Granbell Hotel was the best stay, make sure you have the address written down in case you need to show a taxi driver as they will think its Granvia not Granbell, so I had to keep showing people where the address is. It has a beautiful and modern onsen, dark and calm, the breakfast buffet was delicious and catered to both japanese and western giving us an insight of what the actual japanese breakfast is like, the room was clean, the staff super friendly. I would definitely come here again, later on in our journey we had another hotel stay which ended up being shabby looking so we left and went to find another Granbell in that area, Granbell Shinjuku in Tokyo this place was also very friendly and accommodating and clean. Granbell is definitely a good company to stay with, on my next trip i'm going to book with Granbell for most of my stays in different citys.

Definitely Going Back :)”
Excellent location - Near the mail railway lines, walking distances (In Japan, 10-15min walk is acceptable) to many of the places of interest for cherry blossom viewing! This hotel is located in the Gion area, so the food options were really awesome! Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, I was recommended to a few hidden treasures and places of interests that were not that touristy or crowded in this season, really grateful! Rooms were clean, I had enough space for Mum and myself, public bath / onsen was very modern and had a scandi feel, very different from the traditional ones that I was used to. Usage of onsen wasn't very high, so most of the time I had the place to Mum and myself!

Amazing”
First time in Japan and we didnt know what to expect since we are from Canada and everyone had warned us of the small rooms in Japan. The rooms are very small compared to North American hotels we are use to however they are one of the cleanest hotels I have ever stayed at. We stayed at the Granbell in both Kyoto and Tokyo for our trip to Japan and we have zero complains. The rooms were super super clean, we had water bottles restocked every day and the staff was amazing. Even with the room sizes being small we had no problem having 2 large luggages in there, we made it work! Would recommend both locations to our friends.

Best Hotel in Kyoto for the Money”
I had an AMAZING stay here and highly recommend it. It is close to so much like the train station, food and temples. Plus they have a Geisha show that was an experience of a lifetime. The hotel staff was very helpful in recommending places to go and eat and spoke English. My room was VERY clean, with a huge (larger than King) comfortable bed, clean bathroom and Apple TV to boot. For the price I couldn't believe all the amenities this property had. Happy Journeying, Todd from The Curated Journey on Youtube

Perfect Place to stay in Kyoto!”
Cannot recommend this hotel more. I don't usually write reviews but felt Granbell deserved one. Its a perfect location in Gion (which is really the most beautiful part of Kyoto with the cobbled streets and Geishas walking by you if you are lucky enough on an evening!) with great restaurants and station round the corner. As an interior design wise feel they have done it beautifully, with a Japanese modern, eclectic mix. Also nice to have the 'public bath pool' downstairs after a long day. Staff also very helpful with us for items we forget which they have kindly posted. Only down side would say is the coffee from the coffee machine, but this is complimentary so really cant complain! Recommend to ALL friends to stay here when in Kyoto

Wonderful Accommodation's”
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kyoto Granbell hotel. Location is as perfect as it gets. Dining, shopping, site-seeing, transportation are all just a very short walk away. A refreshing change from the ultra-modern metropolis that is Tokyo. The hotel itself is modern, stylish with friendly, helpful staff, comfortable rooms and has a lovely spa. Highly recommended and we would definitely stay there again.

pretty perfect!”
wonderfully situated, beautifully designed, practicalluy perfect in every way. The staff is professional and accommodating, the rooms though not large are comfortable. the breakfast buffet is one of the best I have ever had at a hotel and a lovely mix of Japanese specialties and more usual American or European dishes. I have only been to Kyoto once so I can't say I can compare to other hotels here but I would be happy to stay here again!

Loved this Kyoto Hotel!”
We absolutely loved this hotel! The decor, larger than typical room size, & onsen amenity were a few of the top reasons. We had freshly stocked bottles of water, breakfast buffet option and the staff was extremely friendly. The main con was the air conditioning- because we were on the fourth floor with a sunny view, we had to keep our drapes shut to even have any attempt at a cold room. The room never got down to the 18 degrees Celsius on the thermostat but that really was our only complaint. Take advantage of the Maiko show tues/fri!!! Amazing experience!

Excellent”
Overall an excellent hotel with convenient location and very clean. Breakfast, although slightly on the pricier side, has excellent varieties and high quality. It is well worth the price you pay compared to many so so, hyped up food options near by. Nothing bad to say with this hotel. We will definitely recommend it.

Great Stay!”
You cannot beat the location of this hotel, right in the Ginza area. We arrived eat and they stored our luggage while we were shopping. Once we came back to check in they had taken our luggage up to our room already. We had the breakfast included and totally worth it! Japanese breakfast one day and next day large buffet. The room was great and so stylish. We enjoyed the free iced coffee in the lobby after shopping in the warm kyoto sunshine.

Convent, contemporary hotel with bath”
Loved my stay at this hotel for a few days in Kyoto. Granbell was modern and clean, with a moody flair. It’s a short walking distance to many sights in Gion. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn there is an small onsen on the lower level and recommend taking advantage for anyone staying here!!

EXCELLENT LOCATION AND BREATHTAKING FACILITIES!”
You CANNOT beat the location of the Granbell Hotel in the Gion District!! We walked EVERYWHERE we needed to during our 2-night stay in Kyoto! The facilities were just beautiful and the rooms were stunning/chock full of amenities and upscale touches.....please be sure to enjoy the private bath/onsen during your stay here. Would highly recommend this hotel to any family/friends visiting Kyoto!

Recommended for a relaxing staycation!”
This is one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in Japan! The rooms are bigger than standard Japanese size hotels. There is a public bath the guests can enjoy freely and it was really nice and relaxing. The breakfast was also amazing! It was buffet type and there were many options. The location is very convenient as it is near at least 2 convenience stores, near the bus stop, and in the middle of Gion area.

Nice and clean. Hotel”
It's a very nice and newly hotel . Near to most of tourist attractions. It's come with small public bath, good for relaxation after a long day. It's quite far away from train station but at least not so noisy.

Great location and quick walk access to Gion station. Room was very small but considering we didn't stay in the room very much, it worked perfectly for our trip. Room and hotel was newer, clean, and comfortable.
