This is a very nice, modern hotel with direct access to a major rail hub. The downside to that is the sounds of the trains, which were audible in our 14th floor room. The windows were well insulated, so there wasn't much noise - just a background, clickety-clack as the trains went by. The lower floors might be worse. I also did not like the exceptionally long walk to our hotel room from the elevators. On the plus side is that the beds and bedding were very comfortable and everything was spotless. Warning if you are traveling with kids. My 17 year old son joined our trip after we booked our room. There was no way to pay a premium to allow him to stay with us, so we had to pay for an extra room for him and our 13 year old daughter. (Absolute max of three per room.) That was the opposite reaction than we had at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. At the Imperial, they rolled in an extra bed and charged $130 more per night. No big deal. Plus, the PJs at the Imperial were so much better!

Unexpected expenses above the hotel

This hotel was expensive and we booked for 2 adults and a child. We were not given bedding for the pull out sofa for our son and when we requested linen and a towel we were told that would be a further 9700 yen per night. When we went to use the gym or pool that was also further costs and our 14 year old son could not use this outside the hours on 7-9am. Completely inflexible and not worth the money. Part of my choice for the hotel was the amenities, very disappointed

Hope, los angeles

I’ve stayed at the Granvia since 2009–four visits in all. It’s still a good hotel but the furniture in the room looks old and tired, and the bathroom is dated. Putting the washlet controls on the sink cabinet was the worst idea ever—every time I leaned forward to put on makeup the controls were activated. And the step up from the bathroom is a tripping hazard
