Gran MS Kyoto was amazing! It felt so walkable and convenient. Truly a great spot for getting the most out of Kyoto. The staff was amazing as well! Thank you!
The hotel is located a short walk from a covered shopping arcade, the bus stops right out front to go to Kyoto Station, so great location. There is no food available at the hotel, but with a 7-11 and restaurants nearby, that is not an issue. The rooms are quite small. There is coin op laundry, but unless you are doing a VERY small load, expect several cycles in the dryer.
Great stay in Kyoto. Central location for everything we wanted to do and everything was within a walkable distance for us. Can't beat the 7-11 around the corner, too. Staff very helpful and friendly. Would stay again.
Overall good stay and hotel, it's located in a great location next to the main street and close to nishiki market, the room is a bit small but I guess that's to be expected on this type of room
We stayed at Hotel Gran Ms Kyoto for several nights of our 2-week trip to Japan and it was a highlight. Everything was so nice, clean, and comfortable, and it was really nice to be able to share a bed with my partner since we stayed in several twin rooms! The location was great- an easy 5-10 minute walk to Nishiki Market and the most centrally located. Wifi was fast, free water for drinking, and the price you can’t beat. Would absolutely recommend!

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
To start, the hotel's location is fantastic; it is centrally located in Kyoto and is close to the river, many subway stations, and many stores, restaurants, and attractions. The staff were also excellent and provided excellent and timely service. My main gripe with the hotel was the cleanliness; the room smelled a little like mildew — damp and musty — and we walked in once to a dead bug on the new (?) bedsheet. The bathroom did not have good ventilation, and there's no way to adjust the room's temperate since everything is centrally controlled. We kept our window open for these reasons, but since we faced a busy street it was often very loud with sirens. Even with the window closed it was not very soundproof.
The place was very nice. It was great to have an area to eat near the lobby. The room was a little small for 5 people, but we still enjoyed it. The location was great!

The walls are thin, we could hear a tv and snoring through the walls.
The wifi was slow and unreliable.
The room was too hot at night and the thermostat didn’t seem to do anything.
There was a high enough step into the bathroom that a stepping stool was provided.
It was a somewhat long walk to the nearest subway.
On the positive side, the location was excellent.
This hotel is located on Kawaramachi Street which is pretty much the main vein for downtown Kyoto. There is a lot of dining and shopping to do in the area so for the location and price, it was very well worth it. I overheard another hotel user complain about the AC not working in their room and hotel staff not really being able to do anything about that. Also convenient that a lot of the local transportation stops are closeby which included the bus, trains and taxi cabs literally parking in front of the hotel. Grand M's made my stay in downtown Kyoto well worth it and i would love to return here on my next Kyoto trip.
