Asia Gay friendly Vacations

The room was very clean and spacious and there was a temple near by I believe. It’s a little bit aways from downtown Kyoto but I like not having so much people around me. A lot of konbinis and fresco supermarket near by. I would stay here again. Very friendly staff

Pros: rooms are great (we stayed in the condo) - huge apartment, washing machine, small equipped kitchen. No complaints about the room at all! Lunch options: decent takeaway at the deli! Reasonably priced and tasty! Cons: - Pools: there are only 2 at the property. Pools are great, but honestly quite small for the number of guests at the resort. There were a lot of screaming and splashing children, which is fine, just would have been great to have an adults only pool option. - Beach: the beach is shocking to get to. I thought other reviews seemed dramatic, but it is over a busy road, the path is super unclear and the ‘beach house’ was almost impossible to find. Honestly not sure how people headed across with small children! - Restaurant: the BBQ restaurant in the hotel was pretty bad. Food was poor quality, mountains of dirty dishes were everywhere. Nowhere near good enough at a 5-star hotel and given the price point!

Room is right next to the main part of Dontobori. It also has a 7-11 about 5 feet away. Great location and it definitely helped to enjoy the city. I will be staying here again on my next trip to Osaka.

Hotel Granvia Kyoto was amazing. The room was spacious and beautiful. The staff were so polite and helpful. The location above the station was perfect. I really enjoyed my 3 day stay. 100% recommended.

Excellent service from STAFF

EVERYTHING WAS PERRRRFECT!

I wasn't impressed by this property, though it worked out okay for two nights. The communal bath for men was a highlight: clean and well-functioning. The hotel room also had some decent features. However, the room was unacceptably small and wasn't designed well. I would encourage this large hotel company to analyze and copy cruise-ship cabins, for example, to learn about space efficiency. The lobby decor and other materials were also lacking: overly cheap, colors that were needlessly dark or sad, and a lobby that was much too dedicated to a massive front desk and restaurant operations. We probably won't stay at an APA again. Some of the flaws were MUCH too obvious yet unaddressed.
