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!

6/10 Good

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.
