If you have young kids this is the best hotel in all of Kyoto. Right next to a giant park that has a creek to play in(allowed as an outdoor playground), Kyoto aquarium, Train museum, and jungle gym playgrounds. Room was immaculate, staff extremely polite and helpful, and breakfast was delicious. Will be coming back next time we are in Japan

Nice, Appropriately (but not totally)Japanese
This is a very nice hotel, created in a modern, contemporary Japanese style. We enjoyed it. Clean, sleek Japanese decor. Clean premises (of course), good service (of course). Lovely room. Short walk (>10 min) from Umekoji train station. Breakfast buffet is exceptional: freshly prepared, broad selection of Japanese cuisine, but includes a modest choice of western dishes. Hotel features "experience spaces" open to all guests, including books/reading; coffee; music. This means no coffee maker in the room. Instead, you must find the "coffee space" on the fourth (?) floor, where you grind your own (curated) beans and brew your own cup. Oh well. Not our style in terms of convenience, especially first thing in the morning, but we will stay there again.

Umekoji Potel is undoubtedly one of the best hotels I've stayed in! The hotel was incredibly easy to get to and from Kyoto station (as Umekoji is one stop away) our room was amazing with a fantastic view of the park. The staff were amazing from the moment we stepped through the door and were always keen to help us when needed. The facilities are excellent and it was lovely to have different spaces to relax in other than our room. Incredibly family-friendly as well. Thanks for the lovely time!

Loved the location of this hotel, one stop on local line from Kyoto central station or a 10-15 minute walk. The area is quiet next to a lovely park and there is a family mart, a 2 minute walk away which is handy. The staff were all lovely and friendly, helped us to send our bags in to our next hotel and we have limited Japanese. Our room was clean and lovely comfortable beds which is what you need after a day’s sightseeing. Would stay here again.

Unassuming when you see the this hotel within a list of hotel but this is one of the best hotels (or technically a potel?) that I have stayed at in the past year. The area near the hotel is full of nature and you have an unblocked view of the sky from your room window. There is a cafe downstairs with tall glass windows if you want to spend your day on your laptop or reading a book while having coffee. There are also common space where you can self serve yourself drip coffee (with specialty coffee beans) or other drinks (alcoholic too). There are common rooms where you can find shelves of books, listen to music or play board games. The addition of these common rooms give a very friendly feel to your stay. This hotel is very unique in that sense and it's an easy recommendation for everybody who is looking for a great hotel to stay in Kyoto. Don't forget to try the hot amazake from the store near the hotel especially when it's chilly outside!

Beautiful hotel with great customer service. They helped my husband to organize a spa day for my birthday and left me a little present by the door on the day. They have a couple of indoor play areas for kids, a music room and complementary snacks including juice, wine and beer in the second floor. The location is great with easy access to restaurants and the train station. There was a temporary ice skating ring set up at the end of the street during the christmas week which my daughter and I loved!

Horrible check-in experienced. Rude and incapable staff denied check in at 3pm with reference to other people waiting, simply asking to come back later. Then requested to show identification despite address in Japan, then asking to input the address in the system, then asking for the ID again. Finally even asking Japanese partner for ID. Ms U. at check in both lacking manners and education

Centrally located, great with kids
We loved our stay. Accomodation was just right for us. Great location, 1 stop from main station with trains and buses stopping nearby (direct connections to many of the main sights). Main stations 15mins wslking distance. Calmly located right next to a park. Building in very goid condition. Spacious and clean room. Reception staff with decent english skills. We loved the activity rooms on each floor. Laundry, public bath snd rooftop are a plus. Some dinner options in the neighbourhood. Great with kids. Only downside I can think of is the restaurant for dinner service. Any deviations from the menu were either not possible overall (which they were the day before) or not possible to communicate (due to lack of english skills). But staff was generally very friendly.
