THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was perfect and the staff were very helpful. The subway station was also very close to the hotel making it easy to get around the city."

Hotel Granvia Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Not sure what to expect, but the hotel was wonderful. It’s connected to the station, but slightly set apart, so there is not much station traffic, only hotel guests. All or most of the rooms have outside views. The room on the Executive Floor is beautiful and spacious. Some of the rooms have a good view of Kyoto Tower. The staff was very polite and attentive. We requested an ironing board and it was delivered quickly (within 1/2 hour). The breakfast at Le Temps (2nd floor) is excellent and delicious, and comparable to that at high end hotels. It has a good mix of Japanese and Western breakfast, a good dessert area, and a chef cooking omelettes and eggs to order. It’s also very convenient, and about an easy 5 minute walk to the Shinkansen platforms."

Kyoto Umekoji Kadensho

10/10 Excellent

"An absolutely wonderful place to stay! Everything was perfect, from the warm hospitality to the comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The place was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. You can really feel the care and attention put into making guests feel at home. We had such a lovely experience and honestly didn't want to leave! Definitely a place worth coming back to. We would love to stay here again on our next visit!"
