"An elegant Kyoto ryokan inn with contemporary touches run by charismatic fifth-generation family owners." Full review
Michelin Guide "It’s a 19th-century townhouse, a rarity in Kyoto — a stay here isn’t a trip back in time so much as it is an experience of Japanese hospitality stripped down to its essence." 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

"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
