Ett riktigt nice hotell mitt i Kyoto med närhet till allt från shopping, restauranger, barer till fantastiska sevärdheter! Det Imperiska Palatset ligger inom promenadavstånd (ca 25 minuter) liksom Filosofens väg (om man är beredd att gå lite längre, kanske 45 minuter). Frukosten var väldigt god och restaurangen i sig var mysig. Rummen var mycket välskötta och trevliga. Personalen var alltid mycket hjälpsam och vänlig! Här fanns det dessutom två små tvättstugor med två maskiner i varje, så det var härligt att få tvätta lite kläder mitt under vår långa resa! Dock var faktiskt efterfrågan på maskinerna rätt stor så det gäller att hänga på låset lite när man ser att någon maskin börjar bli klar. Det fanns även onsen på hotellet men jag hann tyvärr aldrig gå dit! På det stora hela så tycker jag bra om detta hotell och kan absolut rekommendera det för den som vill bo lite mera "mitt i smeten".

Located in a central area but still quiet, room is cleaned daily which is a bonus. On check in the staff asks you to select a breakfast type, we recommend the western. The room has no safe and is pretty small, so's the public bathhouse. There are only two coin laundry machines which is not enough for a hotel this size, and their drying power is weak. The staff are generally nice but seem a bit inexperienced. Overall good hotel, suitable for light-travelling tourists

The hotel had all the basics needed to be an enjoyable stay. Staff was very helpful and the evening free drink in the lounge made for a nice relaxing end to busy, activity filled days. Location was very centralized and made it get around. Rooms were a bit cramped but the location more than made up for it.

The room was cramped but clean and had a view. The hotel is one block off the main street, so is one convenient to shopping, although it was a little difficult to find when we arrived. There is a lounge bar on-site which was great to unwind after a long day. There are an onsen and a laundry on-site. and

We were shocked to see how small our room . Very uncomfortable to move around even 2 people plus luggages. We used the hotel laundry , and was annoyed how long it took for dryer to dry even 7 pieces of clothes. The lounge area for guests is not convenient place to relax and be able to bring food from outside 😳 We have never stayed at any hotel during our travel and be restricted from eating our food bought outside of the hotel . Don't think we'll recommend this hotel to anyone.

A very lovely hotel with a nice onsen, the rooms are small but comfortable, the lounge at night is the perfect place to relax and enjoy some music and quiet conversations. The staff is friendly, extremely patient and helpful as well. It is nicely situated near several shops, restaurants (be warned the shops on the main strip and some of the off streets close at 8pm) and close to a few train lines/rails. Overall a nice stay.

If you like to have a clean stay I do not recommend this hotel. Upon entering the room, I noticed there were stains on every wall, extremely heavy dust accumulation on the bathroom vents, and the shower had yellow stains on the floor. I even had to wipe down the table because there was left over stains. Despite the unhygienic nature of the rooms, the staff were very accommodating and pleasant. Upon alerting and showing the staff, the room, they relocated me to another room and apologized profusely.

I loved the location. As soon we step out of the hotel we were in the middle of Nishiki Market and all the amazing food this place had to offer. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They even help me retrieve an item that I had left in Osaka. They were able to have it delivered to the hotel in one day. What was tricky about this location was finding the entrance upon arrival. The entrance is in an alley and not in the Main Street, which was confusing at first. But not a major inconvenience.

We had the Wellness Breakfast Buffet and it was great! Lots of good choices for breakfast - Western and Japanese. We were traveling with 2 older parents and it wasn’t really conveniently located for getting to train stations unfortunately. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the ambience.

Highly recommend Grand Bach! It’s a smaller boutique hotel which is not that easy to come by in the larger cities. Feels very intimate and not like a train station like a lot of the other hotels. Absolutely amazing service and best breakfast buffet I have had in a long long time. There is really good coffe, tea and water to have for free in the lounge. Right next to the food market (the quality of the food is not what it has been) and a short walk to the river and other interesting things. Many great restaurants near by (the ramen place “moon and back” (best ramen we had so far despite it not being a traditional place) is 2 min walk away and is open for early dinner in case you travel with a baby! Good laundry facilities at the hotel as well. Would def stay here again.

Located in the heart of Kyoto, on one of the most popular streets, walking distance to fish market and night life. Very clean, but small rooms, though bathroom is quite spacious. Shower was great. Daily clean sheets, sleepers and PJs. The only comment is about variety for breakfast. Each day is absolutely the same breakfast (pre-set, not buffet). Would strongly recommend to make at least small changes so that people who stay more than 2 days can enjoy some variety. Otherwise, would definitely stay at this hotel again. Great value for the money
