This hotel is by the conference centre and is some distance from major sites. However the subway station is only 3 minutes away so if you don't plan to spend much time in your hotel the location is fine. The rooms are huge and overall our stay was a terrific value. This is a western style hotel, which is okay... More

I was travelling for business but stayed here with family. The best thing about the Grand Prince was its nearness to the International Conference Center. Frankly, I don't see why else you would possibly choose to stay in this location, although it's fairly easy to access central Kyoto via the subway. The rooms were very spacious and clean on the...

If you are attending a conference in the Convention Centre, the place is perfect: it is located across the road from the Convention Centre. I stayed at the top of the hotel (Royal 8th floor). The rooms and bathrooms are very large and clean. Service was excellent: rooms were cleaned 2-3 times a day, all hotel staff was very helpful,... More

Fabulous place to stay if you want to be away from the centre of Kyoto. The subway station is right accross the rd and its a short trip to Kyoto Station. My husband attended a conference in the centre wich is a 2 min walk & I went sight seeing. The hotel food was lovely although not that cheap &... More

The hotel is nice, nothing special and might benefit from renovation. The rooms are spacious accordint to Japanese standards. The location is very good if you are there for a conference at the int. conference centre and very close to the metro station, but it is far from the city centre (20 minutes by metro). We stayed with 3 persons... More

Stayed for 5 nights for an international congress. Pros: next door to the convention center, on a subway line, big rooms, rooms nicely done Cons: 20 mins subway ride to Kyoto station or expensive taxi rides for sightseeing, limited eating choices, watch out for incompetent concierge staff and their understanding of English My last comment is related to my experience...

The Grand Prince Hotel has nice rooms - spacious, cozy and clean. They have this advocacy of going green so the shampoo, conditioner and body wash are contained in big bottles (which they just refill) instead of small ones. They also let you have an option of foregoing the room cleaning service in exchange for a discount in the room... More

I stayed 6 nights at this hotel recently. It is located at the foothills, across the road from the Convention Centre, and is clearly largely used by conference participants. Firstly the pluses. The scenery is wonderful, and the rooms and bathrooms are large. Now for the negatives. The hotel is in dire need of an upgrade. The public areas are... More

The only gripe i have with this hotel is that it is a bit far from the downtown part of kyoto. The western breakfast is also a bit expensive but the hotel is clean, the beds are comfortable and nice. I do wish they had free internet but felt like it was a nice space and had good western amenities... More

The hotel is very big, clean and the staff are efficient and friendly - from the little dealings we had with them (we arrived late and left early). The room was spacious and clean if a little outdated, the bathroom (as with most in Japan) was tiny but had a shower & bath tub. The only complaint I had was... More
