The rooms are perfect, the breakfast is sublime, the location is superb, close to everything. Go out of your way to get to this property.

We loved this hotel! The staff were very kind and helpful, nice amenities available. Amazing location, we walked most of the time! We opted to use a very close by 24-hour laundromat for laundry that had multiple large high efficiency machines (less than 5 minute walk). Would definitely recommend staying here.

Fantastic location and modern
Really enjoyed Hotel Granbell Kyoto. Beautiful little modern property with lovely entry, lobby, and bar/dining area. Location is fantastic, Gion district with easy 3 mins walk to metro or across the bridge to malls and unlimited food choices. Temples and shrines in easy walking distance. Rooms slightly on the small side, with King beds taking up width of the room (have to crawl in from foot of the bed - would actually recommend getting 2 twins instead), but modern bathrooms and attractive contemporary feel. Breakfast excellent and well priced compared to other hotels we have tried in Japan. My only real negative was that I was looking forward to evening drinks at the beautiful little lobby bar and it was quite disappointing. Apart from one good bartender, the staff was very young and inexperienced. Drinks took far too long to make, menu was limited, and for some reason they insist you pay as you go rather than charge to the room. After a couple of disappointing evenings I discovered Bar Turquoise across the river and problem was solved. Overall recommend. Would stay at Hotel Granbell again.

Excellent hotel! The location is perfect in the Gion District, staff is more than happy to help with anything! Breakfast was shockingly good for a hotel breakfast, lots of options only complaint with that is starts at 7:00 am. The rooms were small, but it really doesn’t matter since you spend so little time in the room if you are a tourist, there is no desk or work area except the lobby, so it’s a bit hard to get any work done. overall, excellent hotel!
