Hotel Keihan Kyoto Grande

We had connecting rooms--both rooms had 2 twins and a bathroom. It gave us plenty of space. The location is right next to Kyoto Station, which is very handy if you come by bullet train. You can connect to the hotel from ground level or via the underground connector if weather is bad. Breakfast was included in our rate and it was a decent-sized buffet. There was various fruit, a pancake maker, salad bar, sushi, miso, and various dishes like meatballs, roast beef with vegetables, ginger pork, etc. There was even sake and wine! Luggage storage upon check out was handy (we didn't need to depart Kyoto until later in the day). There is self-storage on the 2nd floor with lockers for small and medium bags and chains for larger luggage.

*The check-in process was annoying. It was all self-service, but we had to do the whole process twice-once for each room, despite it being one booking and one rate. *The beds were moderately hard. Not the hardest we've had, but definitely harder than we prefer. *Coffee was not good at breakfast *No nightstands, which was awkward.

Excellent location. Friendly staff. Good breakfast!

Nothing to complain about!

La posizione vicino a stazione e metro, colazione ottima, stanza confortevole, staff attento alle necessità della clientela

Non ci sono cose che non mi sono piaciute

The hotel is in a very convenient location, right near Kyoto Station, which made getting around Kyoto easy. Having laundry facilities on-site was also a great bonus, especially during a longer stay. However, the room was quite small, with limited space for luggage and very few amenities provided inside the room. Guests need to collect items such as toiletries from the amenities area on the first floor for daily use. While this is practical, it would have been more convenient if some basic amenities had already been available in the room. Overall, the location and laundry facilities were the main advantages, but the small room size and limited in-room amenities were disappointing. This hotel may be suitable for travellers who prioritise convenience and transportation access over room space and facilities. The location and laundry facilities are consistent with guest feedback elsewhere, while small rooms and lobby-provided amenities are also recurring observations.

The rooms were quite small and felt a little dated. They were also not especially suitable for families travelling with children, as there was limited space to move around or accommodate luggage comfortably.
