What guests think
At The Gran Resort Elegante Kyoto, travelers highlight spacious, traditional-style rooms with views, a clean and relaxing public bath, and a quiet location near bus links and the Imperial Palace, offering solid value for a calm Kyoto stay.
Several reviews note aging facilities or room drawbacks, such as older climate control, occasional maintenance wear, and some rooms lacking private baths that require using the public bath. Dining feedback is mixed: breakfast is praised as generous by some but felt limited by others, and policies prevented non-guests from joining a paid breakfast. Service is frequently courteous and helpful, though a small number of guests described inconsistent or unfriendly interactions. Expect a spacious, quiet stay with a strong bathhouse and some dated edges.
