Great family hotel.
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place for families with small kids! The common areas with ball pit, blocks, ping pong table were a hit with our toddler and elementary age kids
Joseph, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property

Great hotel. No complains at all, wish I stayed longer. They had free wine, beer and snack. Rooms are big, very spacious (compared to others I stayed at in Japan) The breakfast buffet it was ok (not my preferred food for breakfast) but convenient. The little cafe in the lobby has great sandwiches. Everyone is so nice, but I found that everyone in Japan is. Beautiful country!
Jessica, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was amazing. It was clean and modern. The restaurant was great as were the staff. Couple things to be aware of. Lots of kids which isn’t a bad thing but noise travels really easily in the hotel. You can hear everything. The second is the proximity to the train. While it appears close to the Kyoto station it can be a pain as the station closest is a local station and doesn’t come very frequently. All that said I’d still stay here
Ryan, 4-night trip

This is our second time staying at this hotel and we still love it. This is still our favorite hotel in Kyoto.

Tessa, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is very modern, has a great view of the park behind the hotel, has an amazing happy hour offering of complimentary beer, wine, cheese, and nuts. The breakfast has a lot of great options, including many Japanese delights but is timed so don’t linger or the staff will make you leave.

Very nice hotel, extremely clean with nice services as free coffee area and drinks. Rooms are spacious and the service is great. Location might not be the best for some guests, as it’s a bit far from certain attractions.

Thr breakfast is nice
Mei Wah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had an amazing stay at the UmekojiI Potel Kyoto! We stayed here for six days while we explored Kyoto, and the surrounding area including, Gion, Nara and Osaka. The customer service was extremely wonderful and kind! The hotel was spotless with the most special soaps and shampoos to try. The extras such as free beverages that included the pour over coffee bar (including grinding your own whole coffee beans in real time) and adult beverages in the evening that really was special after a long day of exploring—was outstanding! We loved our stay here with our family of five from the US and can’t wait to visit here again soon! Thank you Potel!

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.
Tracy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
George, 3-night trip
