Located conveniently to the Gion district of Kyoto, a relatively short walk to Kiyomizu-dera, and also Pontocho and the modern heart of Kyoto. Big, comfortable beds, and modern meets old world style. In-site onsen and bar, what more could you want?

The Granbell hotel is in the centre of Gion, and minutes walk away from most attractions, lots of restaurants and about 5-10 mins walk from downtown Kyoto. The rooms are fairly small, which is to be expected in the area. The hotel itself is prestine and had good facilities, including a laundry room and Onsen. We would return as it was a great location and had good facilities. The staff also were very friendly.

We stayed at the Granbell Hotel in Kyoto for part of our honeymoon, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The hotel itself is beautiful — stylish, clean, and designed with a perfect balance of modern comfort and Japanese charm. Our room was elegant and very comfortable, making it easy to relax after long days exploring Kyoto. What truly set our stay apart, though, was the staff. They went above and beyond to make our honeymoon feel special with thoughtful touches and warm hospitality that we’ll never forget. Every interaction felt genuine and kind, and it really elevated our whole experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Kyoto. Highly recommend the Granbell Hotel for anyone looking for comfort, beauty, and outstanding service and we will definitely be returning on our next trip to Kyoto!

Great free amenities available at the front desk. All staff were friendly and welcoming. The blockout blinds were incredible! We slept in one day as it was so dark and quiet, shocked when we opened the blinds! Great walking distance from a lot of attractions. Note we did not use the restaurant at all so can not comment on that.

Incredible place to stay albeit it will be small! If you have children or if you want more space this won’t be what you’re looking for, as we booked the largest room in the hotel and even then the washroom and room itself was smaller than expected. However, if you’re ok with that this place is fantastic. The onsen is great, the room is very clean, and the walking distance to everything is amazing. It’s situated in honestly one of the best areas in Kyoto as a tourist to be at and if you’re ok with a smaller room then this is absolutely a great deal

Loved the onsen. Hardly ever anyone there when I went. The breakfast was good but same menu for do many nights I stayed, however nothing opens early so do the hotel breakfast. Pancake restaurant very close opens at 11am good. Skip the okonamiaki and taki ball place on the corner... All undercooked. The bars in alley right next to hotel entrance had good skewers. Go to the one up the stairs on the right for best food and nice bartenders. The hotel had very kind and helpful staff. Rooms were exceptionally clean as was onsen. 2 washers not enough so I did laundry very early in the morning. Enjoyed the stay very much.
