Hotel Gran Ms Kyoto

Nice hotel property. Staff are nice and attentive. Clean. Good-looking. All basic toiletries are provided as well as air-conditioning, hair dryer, a couple hangers, an optional robe/dressing gown, tea kettle, mini-fridge, mugs. (Weather happen to be good when I stayed, so I don't know if A/C works). Internet was good most of the time. Went out or super low signal a few temporary times. Comfortable bed. Hot and cold water. They provide drinking water. Microwave on the 1st floor in the lobby. Washer and dryer on the second floor. Good location close to restaurants, shops, bus and subway stops. NOT near JR station, so if you have a JR pass, this hotel is NOT applicable. I posted photos on Google Maps.

Very good location just in center of Kyoto. Everything is SO CLOSE. In Golden week streets may be a bit crowdy but after that passed - it become better. Also there are river nearby which is great for sightseeing and walking at evenings. There was plenty of places with food, from cheap to more costly. Including chain restaurants like Matsuya or Nakau and onigiri stall with tasty onigiri and chicken nearby. Personal was very helpful with every our request and they even talked on our language too not only in English. Room seems small but it is actually have plenty of space and even TV is medium sized. N Room and bathroom both was very clean and bed was big and comfortable with master switch just beside it. Also there was bathtub in bathroom and it was great to have bath after hiking on Kyoto trail. All in all it was best place we stayed in Japan in this trip. Place is really quiet if you sleep with closed window and AC. Me and my wife never had any trouble with noise or sleep. With open window you can hear the noise from roads and streets.

Great location in Sanjo close to plenty of shops and restaurants, yet quiet due to location in a side street. Even though a full clean was only done every third day, staff still emptied out the rubbish bins and made my bed, even if I left the property quite late in the day. Front desk staff was also very friendly. There is a small anemities bar with things like tooth brushes, shower caps and theclike for you to use free of charge, and a map of recommended local restaurants.

The location is perfect, the hotel is really good, the staff and the amenities were very good. The room was really amazing, it's spacious compared to other hotels in the big cities for the same price range. The hotel is equipped with everything you need and it offers different kind of services for example luggage transportation to another hotel/city.

We needed a place to crash for our last night in Japan and the most important thing for us was being able to carry our bags a short distance from the rental car to the room in order to pack lots of things we’ve bought. Staff was lovely and they’ve let us use the entrance for half an hour during both check-in and check-out. It helped us greatly!
