20/10!! This has to be one of the BEST Hotel we've stayed at in Japan. For the price we paid, we we're not expecting such comfort, luxury, and space. The hotel feels clean and new, has a modern, yet traditional Japanese vibe. The rooms are enormous and the reception area features a coffee bar, and an ACYE Breakfast area.

It's located in the most beautiful and spacious property equipped with a public bathhouse that you must try, a laundry mat, a free coffee bar, and an rooftop terrace with the most amazing views!
Its also conveniently located next to family mart and 7eleven, and Kyoto's Starbucks. All the main attractions less than 30 minutes away on Uber. The train station is just a 6 minutes away walk.

This place made me really sad to leave Kyoto and I will recommend it to all my friends and family.

A beautiful quiet property near a Starbucks, a good ramen place and a short walk to a 7/11. Easy walk to the JR station and also the city bus to go into town. Very family friendly with great views of the near by park. Comfortable beds and a nice balcony to sit out on.

This hotel is amazing. My wife and I came to Japan for 2.5 weeks for our honeymoon and joked that the Potel was our home away from home, but it really was. Kyoto is amazing and we highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a sweet and modern hotel.

This is definitely not a family friendly hotel. They are charging you for a baby crib but offering you free drinks! If you are a youngster who is looking for free beer and free hipster coffee, this could be a good option for you. Other than that, this should not even be considered as a hotel.

The room was nice and clean and spacious. Great location by the park and aquarium. Friendly staff. Great breakfast with lots of American and Japanese choices. Easy drivable access to all attractions. Lots of extras in the hotel makes it for really nice time. I love the rooftop with a view. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Wow - we stayed here with our two kids and loved it. We had one of the family rooms facing the park on the 5th floor and could see the bullet trains from our beautiful balcony. We loved sitting up there or on the roof deck to watch all the activities in the park. The delicious coffee and afternoon drinks/snacks were lovely. We didn't do breakfast at the hotel as we were usually up and going early, but it looked delicious. A wonderful place to stay!

We had a fantastic 4-night stay at this hotel. We would highly recommend this location and will come back again if we travel to Kyoto in the future.

The room itself was clean and spacious, with a mix of traditional and modern design. The bed was comfortable, and all the small amenities such as slippers and robes were high quality.

The staff was very friendly and made the whole process seamless. The location of the hotel is great since it's in a quiet area but only one stop away from Kyoto station. There's also a family mart a few minutes walk away.

Umekoji Potel is a great property for those who want an open environment while staying in Japan. Our room size was comparable to most Western hotels and the balcony overlooking Umekoji Park made time in the hotel a treat. Tge park is a wonderful outdoor space, with many activities and events , used by local residentsvand visitors. The many unique common areas(coffee, evening drinks, music, rooftop deck, etc.) were great amenities to complement our stay. The close proximity to Umekoji Krotonishi station was a plus for midday and off hour train access(as it is the last station before arriving at Kyoto Station, however rush hour inbound trains are stereotypically packed with commuters. We will definitely return on a future visit.

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

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!

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!

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!

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

Er waren gratis extra’s zoals koffie, thee, frisdranken vrij te nemen, zelfs met enkele snoepjes en nootjes.
Voor ons was het ontbijt een tegenvaller; de Westerse producten die er waren vonden we niet lekker. We misten beleg zoals ham of kaas.
