Experience of the stay
Staying in the Granvia Deluxe Twin grants you access to the club lounge.
For lunch, there was an all-you-can-eat spread of cakes, coffee, and soft drinks, and in the evening, there were all-you-can-drink options for alcohol, champagne, and snacks. The desserts were particularly delicious, and I went back for more multiple times.
The lounge and guest rooms have great views, including rooms with views of Kyoto Tower and others with views of the Shinkansen, showcasing various scenery from Kyoto. The interior had a luxurious feel, and the cleanliness made it comfortable to stay.
Being directly connected to Kyoto Station was a pleasant point.
Breakfast options included Japanese or Western buffet styles, and I frequently used the lounge for breakfast, hopping between different offerings.
I really felt full and had a wonderful stay.
It’s rare to have access to a club lounge with breakfast included, so I’d like to save points and stay here again.
Experiences during the trip
After drinking at the club lounge until I was full, I headed out around midnight to enjoy some late-night ramen at Daiichi Asahi near Kyoto Station. It was around 11 PM, and I waited in line for about an hour. The broth was light and delicious.
I spent the daytime wandering around Porta and had some motsunabe.
For sightseeing, I visited Fushimi Inari and Kiyomizu Temple, both about a 10-minute drive from the hotel. I was worried about parking on a Saturday in May, but I went around 9 AM and found a spot easily.
90% of the visitors were from overseas. It was cloudy with occasional rain, and there were fewer people than expected, so I recommend going on days when rain is likely but not certain.
