"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."

"A fusion of ultramodern design with traditional Japanese style is what you'll find at this popular hotel above Kyoto Station."

"The Granvia has one great advantage to brag about, over other hotels: most of the city’s buses, trains and subways stop only a few metres away from its front door."

"The hotel itself rises 15 stories, with its lobby sheltered under an abstract geodesic skylight and stilted over a shopping arcade."

"Sister hotel to the famous Westin Miyako in eastern Kyoto, this is a popular choice near Kyoto Station due to its location near the terminus of both the Shinkansen and Kintetsu trains."

Many staffmembers here speak limited English, and special requests can often fall by the wayside.

"New Miyako Hotel is a large, upper-middle-range property with close to a
thousand rooms in a convenient location next to Kyoto station."

The interior of the hotel have a distinct corporate chain vibe, but rooms are spacious, with flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. Train noise can be a problem in some rooms -- and light sleepers might want to choose rooms facing the courtyard, which are quieter.

"The decor differs floor to floor, but comes with a modern sensibility."
