Hotels With Pools in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

Firstly, the location is superb. Kyoto Station is just a 10-minute walk away, and there are abundant dining options, convenience stores, Yodobashi Camera, and Don Quijote all within easy walking distance. Priced around 500, this established 5-star hotel offers rooms that are quite spacious by Japanese standards, providing incredible value for money. Free parking and EV charging stations are also available. They also have Chinese-speaking staff. The only minor imperfection was finding a hair on the bed, suggesting they could pay closer attention to detail in their cleaning.

The hotel boasts a fantastic location, just a 3-minute walk from Keage Subway Station. It's also conveniently located within a 5-10 minute walk of major attractions like Nanzen-ji Temple, Eikan-do Temple, and the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art. Plus, popular coffee shops like M Stand Coffee and Blue Bottle Coffee are a mere 3-minute stroll away. The accommodation and facilities were very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit.

Overall, our family of three, traveling with our child, had a very pleasant and positive experience. It was comforting to hear many familiar Chinese dialects spoken by the numerous Chinese guests in the lobby. The room was very spacious with excellent facilities, which is quite a rare find in Japan. Its location was also superb, being very close to the shopping street. We could easily take an evening stroll there even after dinner around 9 PM. We only had two minor downsides: 1. The hotel is located above a main thoroughfare, so traffic noise was quite noticeable at night. 2. The breakfast selection was rather limited. As executive room guests, we had breakfast in the lounge and were not allowed to go to the first-floor dining area. We weren't sure if this was a misunderstanding, so we couldn't tell if the first-floor offerings were more varied. These were the only issues we encountered.

The hotel is strategically located in the center of Lushan Duyue Bridge, 10 steps walk. The hotel is a Japanese architectural style, with a long history. The surrounding area is old buildings. The hotel bedroom is large. The bathtub and bath are all standard and dry and wet. The hotel was very clean. The service staff were very caring and carefully wiped every piece of luggage. The hotel's breakfast and dinner are also great, it is recommended and experienced, the restaurant environment, breakfast quality are very high, the key service is very considerate.

The hotel is nice. However, the weather was not so good. The hotel is not too far from Kyoto station but not close to any major attractions by walking.  Terrence is comfortable with a nice view over the garden and Japanese not call amenities. Maiko performance are available on Tuesdays and Sundays. Food is good. 

In the cherry blossom season, the hotel is difficult to set, although the location is not quiet in the scenic area. It is the signal that does not work, using the Kyoto Tourism official website network. The complimentary breakfast and dinner are good and the taste is good.

We had a lovely stay at Hotel Granvia Kyoto! It's clean, comfortable, and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to be helpful, which made us feel right at home. Our room was surprisingly spacious—both the bedroom and the bathroom, which was such a pleasant surprise! One of the best things about this hotel is its unbeatable location—right at Kyoto Station. It made traveling around, especially hopping on the Shinkansen or taking the Japan Rail to explore local spots, incredibly easy and convenient. Kyoto Station isn't just a transport hub—it’s a vibrant place full of life! With so many shops and restaurants, we found ourselves happily wandering, eating, and browsing for hours. It was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy some leisure time between our adventures. There’s something for everyone, and the atmosphere is so lively—it really added to our Kyoto experience The only downside was that our room was quite a distance from the elevator, which meant a lot of walking back and forth. It wasn’t a deal-breaker, but next time, we’ll definitely request a room closer to the elevator to save our legs. Overall, we’d happily stay here again when we return to Kyoto!

Online hotel bookings can often feel like a blind box draw, but Dusit Thani was definitely the right pick. Every staff member I encountered had an excellent attitude, the room was spotless, and even though the turndown service only provided a bottle of water, it was a pleasant and thoughtful touch. Thai brands truly excel in their service consciousness and aesthetic sense. The room itself was incredibly comfortable, and with no other guests in the public lobby areas, I thoroughly enjoyed the bliss of reading a book alone.

Found out that the car parking is only available before 11pm when we called to say we might check in later than usual. Had a bit of problem trying to understand the staff that was on duty that night as he could not speak much English. Parking attendant was nice though. Room is big and clean though.

The advantages are that the surrounding environment is relatively quiet, there are relatively few guests, and there will not be too many problems with the service process; the disadvantages are average cost performance, the landscaping is very rough and does not meet the quality of this price range, especially the hotel restaurant is not recommended, the price is expensive and the taste is very average, the breakfast is also very ordinary, and other means of transportation except taking a taxi are basically walking, and the air conditioner is a bit noisy.
