Wonderful onsen to relax in with beautiful products to use afterwards. Face masks, moisturisers and lotions available in the foyer for free. Snacks and drinks provided in the foyer for free when relaxing and planning activities. Easy to walk to restaurants, shops, train stations and many shrines. Our room was beautiful, spacious and quiet.

Loved our stay at Kyoto Granbell Hotel. Amazing location, main tourist attractions, bars, coffee, restaurants, public transportation, Kamo River, all easily accessible from Granbell. Staff was amazing and incredibly helpful, they arranged our luggage forwarding to Tokyo as we did not want to bring all our stuff one night to Hakone. Room was incredibly comfortable and quiet, the bathroom with tub was amazing, beds and small table with chairs made it great for a three night stay. We did not have breakfast or visit the bar but they looked great. Loved the self service coffee machine in lobby, snacks were a hit too. Filtered water machine was a great amenity as well. Unfortunately did not have time to enjoy the public onsen but heard they were fantastic. Hope to return and will be suggesting Granbell Hotel Kyoto to others!

We had a lovely stay overall. The staff were fantastic throughout — incredibly helpful, welcoming and always happy to assist with anything we needed. The hotel itself is beautiful and in a great location, which made exploring very easy. The only downside for us was the room size. Although the room was beautifully designed and very comfortable, there was very little space, and as two travellers with large suitcases it became quite challenging during our stay. That said, this may simply be a cultural difference in expectations around luggage and space while travelling. For solo travellers, shorter stays, or those travelling lighter, it would be absolutely brilliant.

The hotel is in a very good location, quiet, safe, walkable to many points of interest. The beds were a little hard for our likeness and the pillows too flat. We didn’t try the breakfast but it looked very basic. Lots of restaurants and shopping just at the door.

What an amazing stay in the heart of Gion with an easy walk to everything. Lots of eateries close by and a 2 minute walk to the station and Main Street of Gion. The service is excellent and we loved the amenity bar stocked with toiletries. The room is comfortable and quiet you just need to use your ninja skills to get in and out of the bed we booked the king room so there is no space to walk around the bed. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
