This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel in the last 6 months and it’s a great value for the price. The neighborhood is convenient to lots of hotspots but is quite quiet. The staff does a nice job taking care of the hotel. It isn’t super luxurious but really nice for a short trip to Kyoto. I would stay here again.

Kyoto Granbell Hotel was a fantastic stay. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout my visit. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with great amenities. I really appreciated the early check in option, which made my arrival smooth and stress-free. Would definitely stay here again!

One of the few mid price hotels in Kyoto with an onsen. Rooms are small but nice. Opulent bathroom with wonderful pola products. Very good breakfast with both Japanese and western options. Convenient walking to Gion/ Higashiyama area. Easy access to 2 train stations. 10 minute taxi ride to JR station. A few improvements: there are no drawers so please provide more hangers. Bathrooms are large but lack counter space around sink so add shelves please.
