I was looking for a convenient place to stay when traveling by train from Osaka to Hiroshima and wanting to spend an extra day visiting the Hadachi Museum and Takamatsu. Okayama is then a very convenient stop and the decision was then between the Granva and ANA hotel. The Granva has a convenient location (so does the ANA) and the... More

I stayed here just for a night in the middle of May, 2012 and the room was a semi-double. It was a business trip and I was dropped off by car so can’t comment on the convenient location next to the train station. The lobby was certainly nicely appointed with a large central seating area surrounded by the higher walkways,... More

The Granvia is just next to the Okayama Train Station and connected to it by a covered passageway. The station itself has a large, modern shopping mall and food court where we got breakfast every day (good coffee and pastry shops) and a good dinner (udon and tempura) one night, all at very reasonable prices. Our room at the Granvia... More

It's connected to the station by a partially inclined walkway. We had booked an executive room with a third bed... More

The Hotel Granvia is in an excellent location, near many restaurants, good shopping and of course, the train station. Check in was fast and easy. I was given a large, pleasant room on a remodeled floor, which I found to be quiet, comfortable and well equipped. This is one Japanese hotel where the heating/ventilating and air conditioning works well. There... More

Granted Okayama might not be on everyone's list of places to visit in Japan but it is the connection point to Shikoku by rail and its Castle and the Korakuen Gardens are definitely worth a look. The hotel is connected to Okayama Station by covered walkway and there are the suual gift and shopping arcades you expect in every major... More
