When it comes to travel in Japan, Kyoto is the place to be! Kyoto is a popular destination not only for international visitors but also for Japanese people. Hotel Granvia Kyoto is directly connected to Kyoto Station, making it extremely convenient. With warm and courteous hospitality and a clean and luxurious atmosphere, it is no wonder that everyone who stays at this hotel leaves with a great sense of satisfaction. This hotel is recommended for those who want to fully enjoy a luxurious trip to Kyoto.
Recommendations
The hotel is conveniently located directly connected to Kyoto Station, so you can go from the station to the hotel without getting wet on rainy days. The hotel will keep your luggage after check-out, allowing you to explore the city without having to carry large luggage. Since the hotel is directly connected to the station, it is very convenient and easy to pick up your luggage. Even if your schedule calls for an early morning transfer the next morning, you can spend a relaxing time since the hotel is directly connected to the station.
Also, the hospitality of the staff is well known for being very courteous. The thoughtfulness of the staff is wonderful, such as when they informed us of a delay due to a Shinkansen accident at check-out time. Since many international travelers stay at the hotel, you can rest assured that many of them speak English or are familiar with it.
The Kyoto Tower View rooms have a beautiful night view of Kyoto Tower and Kyoto city in front of you. If you want to enjoy the night view, I suggest you stay in a room on the 12th floor or higher.
Hotel Granvia Kyoto is also recommended for its delicious meals. There are three restaurants where breakfast is served: one is the Japanese restaurant Ukibashi, the second is the buffet restaurant Le Temps, and the third is the Granvia Lounge. The variety of breakfast alone is so great that even if you stay at this hotel for several nights in a row, you will never get bored of the different menus.
In addition to breakfast, Laun offers tea time, afternoon tea, and cocktail time, so you can relax at any time of the day. You will enjoy such a luxurious time that you will want to make a day of your stay at the hotel.
Points to note
This is a very popular luxury hotel. During travel seasons such as autumn foliage, reservations often fill up early. Early reservation is recommended.
Also, since the hotel is directly connected to the station, you may be bothered by the sound of the train if your room is near the platform. If this bothers you, please reserve a room with a Kyoto Tower view.
Some rooms may be very far from the elevator. If the room is far away, it may be a little difficult to walk. If you are elderly or need assistance, you can request a room near the elevator.
