Hotel Granvia Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Our first time in Japan. The accommodation was superb. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The room was kept clean and necessary amenities were provided. The property is conveniently located close to the public transportation, attractions, and shopping area. Should we come back in Kyoto we will definitely stay at this hotel again."

Hotel Emion Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids). We absolutely love this place and would definitely recommend it to others. The hotel is located in front of the train station and a bus stop, which provides easy access to transportation. There is also a 7-Eleven right next to the hotel. They also have several restaurants located on the 2nd floor if you don't want to go out for lunch or dinner, not to mention the large public bath that comes with a sauna room and big hot tubs. The amenities here are the best out of all the places we have stayed in Japan during our 16-day trip!"
