The room was narrow and small but comfortable. It's conveniently located to restaurants and attractions. One of the front desk clerks wanted to charge us for checking in half hour before the 3 p.m. check in. But after checking with somebody in the back, she came back to say the room is ready and there won't be any charge. That was a little strange. Overall we were satisfied with the Granbell.

One of the few mid price hotels in Kyoto with an onsen. Rooms are small but nice. Opulent bathroom with wonderful pola products. Very good breakfast with both Japanese and western options. Convenient walking to Gion/ Higashiyama area. Easy access to 2 train stations. 10 minute taxi ride to JR station. A few improvements: there are no drawers so please provide more hangers. Bathrooms are large but lack counter space around sink so add shelves please.

Great hotel

Check-in was super easy and all the staff were very friendly. The hotel was close to a lot of things to do and eat. Very walkable area and safe. The room itself was small but it seems like rooms in Japan are small in general. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. I would for sure stay there again.

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel in the last 6 months and it’s a great value for the price. The neighborhood is convenient to lots of hotspots but is quite quiet. The staff does a nice job taking care of the hotel. It isn’t super luxurious but really nice for a short trip to Kyoto. I would stay here again.
