Reply To: Accessing Kyoto and accessible Kyoto hotels
Hi!
Will you be coming from Tokyo (Narita or Haneda) or Osaka (Kansai International)? When going from either, you will arrive at Kyoto Station which is the main hub in Kyoto for the subway and buses.
There are a number of hotels near the station which is likely recommended if you will be there a while.
Hotel Granvia is attached to the station but I believe the accessible route is a bit inconvenient and you end up leaving the station anyway…

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Station is just across the street from the station and much cheaper.
I think The Thousand Kyoto also has an accessible room and is just across the street, right next to Mitsui Garden Kyoto Station.
