1. Hotel Granvia Kyoto 5* – Halal Hotels Kyoto

Ideally located within Kyoto Station, Hotel Granvia Kyoto boasts an indoor swimming pool, a fitness centre and 9 dining options. The hotel offers spacious rooms with chic décor and modern facilities. Free WiFi is provided throughout the property.

Rooms have large windows and are fitted with an LCD TV, extra-long beds and a bathroom. A minibar and an electric kettle are provided.

Guests at the Kyoto Granvia can relax in the steam room or the hot tub. The hotel features over 1000 artworks. It is close to Kyoto Station shopping mall and museum.

Location is the best, above Kyoto Railway Central Station. Same locations has malls, shopping centers and huge underground shopping center with food court. Due to centrally located you can get all sort of mode transportation available including tourist buses too. Staff as you expect in Japan is super friendly and humble. Response for room service was very good. Without t asking we got room upgrade. Breakfast has good selection but being Muslim it’s hard to find Halal food. Even though hotel had some Halal items on their main menu. Again very unusual.

Room had a good view. Room size and bathroom size was surprisingly spacious in contrast to most of the Japanese hotels. Staff at concierge were one of the most helpful. Love to go back and recommend highly.

This hotel is Muslim friendly – they provide prayer mats, Qur’an and qiblah direction (which is a bit inconspicuously located above the room entrance. Stand directly below it if you want to figure out the direction). Le Temps offers items that are halal and you can ask for the separated cutlery/crockery from the staff. That being said, no bowls so we just used the miso bowls (miso is halal). The spread is excellent even just for halal. However, there was a bit of miscommunication when I corresponded with the hotel staff before arrival, as they told me that there was no halal breakfast. Strange.

Luckily at check in I was told that there were indeed halal marked items, which saved me the problem of sorting out breakfast for my family. The FnB people were also a bit slow to reply emails and didn’t always answer all my questions, but I love the hotel so much that I can’t fault them for it.

A halal menu (though just a few items, but I’m not picky when I’m in Japan) are available at Le Temps for certain timings, but they will tell you to make reservations because the place is popular. Ukihashi halal menu is only available if you make a reservation. You can try it for the kaiseki experience. It’s expensive but I enjoyed the vip treatment so I’d do it again.
