Reviews of Kyoto Granbell Hotel
Devin Ho
This boutique modern blended hotel with traditional interior design brings a great value for the location (close to Gion & Kawaramachi)! The staff were a little overwhelmed with the luggage holding service and check in, but they were friendly and helpful. The breakfast here is almost like a DIY kaiseki experience with a huge selection at least for a hotel which was included with our booking. There...

Very good hotel. Stayed here for 4 nights and it was wonderful. Beautifully modern design, ammenities were useful and plentiful including face masks, moisturiser, tea, coffee and more. The room was one of the more spacious since visiting and the service was wonderful. Hotel staff are both friendly and helpful. On top of that, it is just a 3 min walk to the train station and a 10 min walk to the bu...

The hotel still has a great location, great onsen, and great aesthetic, I also have had some great times here, so it's still wor...

We opted for a double twin room instead of Queen, which I would recommend because it gave us a little more space to move around. ...

The Granbell hotel is in the centre of Gion, and minutes walk away from most attractions, lots of restaurants and about 5-10 mins walk from downtown Kyoto. The rooms are fairly small, which is to be expected in the area. The hotel itself is prestine and had good facilities, including a laundry room and Onsen. We would return as it was a great location and had good facilities. The staff also were v...
