"The rooms were tiny. My wife and I had to coordinate to open our suitcases. There was basically just a bed and a tiny amount of space around it. It certainly didn’t feel like 140 square feet.
On the positive side, the breakfast buffet was very nice."
"Needed to stay here because of work. Even with the air-conditioning set to 19 for the entire night, the lowest the room temperature got was 27. It was difficult to sleep and the hotel staff were quite rude. I don't recommend going here unless you absolutely have to"
"Simple basic room that matches the price you are quoted.
Relatively/Overall clean though the floor has some stickiness.
Things in the room works as expected."
"Staff don’t speak English bathroom only on the first floor we were staying at the 4th and no dinner and no breakfast available. Good for a step only one night before Kyoto. "

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA
10/10 Excellent
"Amazing hotel next to Tokyo station. Friendly staff and great breakfast selection. Will return. "
"Love, love this hotel. 5 minutes walk from the Kyoto station.
Complementary lattes and matcha at the lobby. Breakfast selections were exceptional.
The hot springs were amazing. The massage chairs were a great additions to end our day after all the walking.
Complementary ice cream all day and late night ramen can’t ask for anything more.
The staff were very attentive.
Will come back in a heart beat.

"Excellent, easy-to-get to hotel with wonderful lake view; very good place to stay and access Kyoto/Uji etc.
The only slight criticism would be the swimming pool - access earlier in the day (from 7:00 am ? and maybe keeping it open later than 17:00) would be highly desirable !!"
"Probobly the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Area is incredibly beautiful as well. Make sure to have lunch at the information center next to the train station. "
"The ryokan was beautiful and the experience was amazing. The food was delicious and the staff was very attentive and caring. Thank you for the wonderful experience!"
