This is a very clean and modern and new facility. Very nice. Not super fancy and people even come to breakfast in there provided pajamas. They have free beer and wine every evening and very cool atmosphere. It is within walking distance of about a block to the Starbucks and to the train station.

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

Loved everything about this hotel. Had daily sento time. The breakfast is amazing. Located next to a large park for walks. The kyoto aquarium is in the park. Close to the train station but not at all near the urban scramble of the station. Would stay here 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!

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.
