Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

The hotel is really close to Kyoto station and the breakfast buffet was amazing! Staff were professional and courteous and I really enjoyed the availability of the public bath and the operational hours (6am - 1am). The hotel room television screen has a guide for how crowded/busy it will be which is a bonus. Beds were comfortable as well. The reading lounge area was nice with complimentary green tea, coffee and water which was perfect to start our day.

This is our second time staying in this hotel and we love it! The location is everything - it is near the JR Kyoto station, which has a lot of eateries and restaurants. Bus terminal is also nearby. The room is clean and the beds are comfortable. Room is bigger than usual japan standard. The lounge is extremely useful. We could get free drinks such as coffee, matcha latte and hot milk. Will definitely come back here again whenever we are in Kyoto.

Excellent location right in front of the station. Room was small but very efficient.

My family and I LOVED this hotel. First of all, the breakfast is INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend getting it included with your stay. Located conveniently close to the JR station, so ideal if you're using Kyoto as a home-base to then visit close by areas like Kobe, Osaka, and Nara. Unfortunately I was not able to enjoy the on-site onsen (as I have many tattoos), but other members of my family did and greatly enjoyed it. If you have tattoos and want to enjoy a sento the nearby enough "Ume-yu" is foreigner and tattoo friendly. I would gladly stay in this hotel again for the breakfast alone; that's not to say the staff, beds, and location weren't good (they were), but that the breakfast is just that good.

This is a fantastic hotel! One of the best I've stayed at in Japan. It's perfect for the Kyoto tourist- great location just a short walk from the train station, good-sized room, excellent breakfast buffet. The bathroom was one of the biggest I've had at a Japanese hotel - WC, shower room with tub and sink were all in their separate area (unlike the typical "template" mini-bathrooms with a step up). The facilities were excellent, especially the lounge with free coffee and iced drinks. I loved the pajamas. Can't say enough good things about this hotel. And of course, the staff were great.
