10/10 Exceptional

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!

Excellent option in Gion District Kyoto

The Gran Bell Hotel Kyoto is a great option for staying, very well located, near all the main attractions inside Gion District. Enjoy its architecture and excellent services, especially their own Onsen! Breakfast plan included is worth it!

Dejlig beliggenhed

Dejligt hotel med god beliggenhed i hjertet af Gion. Værelset var super fint - rent, god seng og godt bad. Fin størrelse i forhold til andre hotelværelser i Japan. Det fungerede fint, at man selv hentede hvad man havde brug for i receptionen og at der var gratis vand og kaffe. Håndklæder blev hængt på ens dør, så man selv kunne skifte. Ville bo her igen, hvis jeg kom tilbage til Kyoto.

6/10 Good

직원들의 접객 태도나 로비가 식당과 같은 층으로 소음이 커서 뭔가 전체적으로 어수선한 분위기임. 그러나 대욕장이 있고 위치가 좋아서 또 방문할 수는 있음.

Ravi, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is a very beautiful hotel with an amazing location. The onsen is wonderful. The rooms are very small and too tight for two people, and the air conditioning is poor which is brutal in summer. Also, the breakfast isn’t very good, I wish I hadn’t pre-purchased it. Overall this is a nice hotel but over priced for what you get.
