Amazing property, especially for the price (near $100 USD per night). Great location for shopping, sight seeing and train. Very stylish room with extra seating and just enough room for luggage. Very friendly staff and nice lounge area. The men’s onsen was also very cool. Would not look anywhere else if I stay in Kyoto again in the future.

This hotel with its interior architecture and lighting design had a very post modern/futuristic, Ex Machina vibe. Which I loved! The staff were great. And I was very happy with my one bedroom unit. The amenity of the public bath was the highlight of my stay. I couldn't wait to go every morning and see the mini zen garden with sun shining through the sky light. As that was the focal point because the public bath was usally dark with low dimmed sconce lights. Will love to stay in the other Granbell hotels in other prefecture's of Japan in the future!

Great hotel right in the heart of the city. Super convenient to be able to walk to Nishiki market and the surrounding areas with ease each day. The staff was super friendly and the amenities were great. Even had an onsen in the basement to wind down after a busy day. Would certainly recommend!

We enjoyed staying in this property although it would have been nice to have housekeeping done daily during our 5 night stay. We were scheduled 2 housekeeping where they changed the sheets. The other days, we had to bring out our used towels and rubbish bins which I thought wasn’t of great service. Outside the lifts on our room floor, was also quite messy with all the cleaning equipment and products set up near the lift in the morning. I was also expecting USB charging ports in the rooms but didn’t get any. Aside from that, the hotel was in a great location. The staff who stood out was the lady who wasn’t Japanese (curly hair, darker skin). I forgot her name, but she was so helpful, so polite and would go above and beyond to try and accommodate the guests requests. She’s a great asset to the hotel and I hope the rest of the staff learn from her.

Everything was amazing. Perfect location. Only thing is the room cleaning which is every 3 days due to “eco-friendly” however they leave clean towels everyday at the door? Eco friendly wants to save water. I would suggest room cleaning with no towel change unless requested.

Great place that’s very efficient!

This hotel is in a great location, kept up impeccably well, and at a reasonable price (for Kyoto!). Rooms here are small (you’ll have to live out of your luggage) but the beds and bathrooms are perfect. My only issues were our basement room (we agreed to it to shave the cost, but if I went again I would have upgraded to a view) and the tv is not foreign-friendly. They have an Apple TV you can hook up your account to, but I was not able to get mine past some regional permissions so I depended on a previous guests account!

Si deseas estar en el corazón de Kyoto y no tener la necesidad de caminar la ciudad, es una buena opción. Por el precio, yo recomiendo hospedarte fuera de la zona turística… Kyoto es bonito para caminarlo, no es necesario estar en el centro para apreciarlo.
