Concierge "This March 2006 addition to Kyoto's hotel scene raised the bar (and a few eyebrows) with its stunning public spaces and guest rooms fashioned by the trendy Tokyo-based firm SuperPotato."
Travel + Leisure "Super Potato is one of the designers behind the 189-room hotel with traditional flourishes—kimono fabric headboards; washi paper lampshades—in the Higashiyama Shichijo district. ." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler77.8
"Japan’s most historically and culturally significant city has never had the sort of upscale Western-style hotel it deserves." Full review
Time Out "Readers of Conde Nast Traveller voted the Hyatt Regency the best hotel in Kyoto (and Japan’s second best), and it’s very easy to see why: the gorgeous interior." Full review
Star Service "This gem of a boutique-hotel offers respite as soon as guests enter the towering bamboo forest at its entrance and continues inside with a stunning interior created by Super Potato." Full review

"Located in historic Higashiyama Shichijo and a seven-minute drive to Kyoto Station, the Hyatt Regency Kyoto is a 189-room luxury hotel with minimalistic decor inspired by traditional Japanese design." Full review

Concierge "If you've only got a night or two in Kyoto, there's nothing as convenient as the 535-room Western-style Granvia, which sits, literally, on top of Kyoto Station."
Fodor's "A fusion of ultramodern design with traditional Japanese style is what you'll find at this popular hotel above Kyoto Station." Full review
Time Out "The Granvia has one great advantage to brag about, over other hotels: most of the city’s buses, trains and subways stop only a few metres away from its front door." Full review
Star Service "The hotel itself rises 15 stories, with its lobby sheltered under an abstract geodesic skylight and stilted over a shopping arcade." Full review
Michelin Guide "The many banquet rooms and restaurants make this a popular hotel, which is linked directly to Kyoto Station." Full review
OysterUpscale
"Hotel Granvia Kyoto gains its four-pearl status from its sheer size with 596 rooms and 11 restaurants and bars." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"It helps that Kyoto’s largest hotel is also connected to Kyoto Station, allowing for easy access to every train and bus in the city." Full review
Frommer's "This hotel boasts Kyoto's most convenient location for travelers arriving by train: It's right atop the futuristic-looking Kyoto Station." Full review

If you can, avoid the least expensive rooms -- they have rather unexciting views of the station's glass roof.

"Imagine being able to step out of bed and straight into the shinkansen (bullet train)." Full review
