The Kyoto Hotel Granvia is not only the best hotel in the Kyoto Station area, it’s also the most convenient, since it located directly above the station itself.
Some of the upper floors of the Kyoto Station Building are occupied by the Hotel Granvia, a five-star Western-style hotel that claims the most convenient location in town for those who want to be near a variety of transport options. The rooms are fairly spacious and well maintained, and there are some good on-site restaurants and bars. The lobby is elegant and some rooms have good views over the city. You’re also within minutes walk of the two great food courts in Kyoto Station: The Cube Food Court and Eat Paradise Food Court.
