"If you've only got a night or two in Kyoto, there's nothing as convenient as the 535-room Western-style Granvia, which sits, literally, on top of Kyoto Station."
Fodor's

"Centrally located, the hotel is close to the shopping district of Shijo-Kawaramachi, but still has pretty views of the mountains beyond the city from many of the bedroom windows."
