"The check in experience was easy and though it wasn’t too difficult to get to the property was more out of the way than expected for where we were going. The mattresses were very uncomfortable, but the room size was huge and having a washer and dryer on site was very handy. "
"Staffs were wonderful , very clean clean kimono every day , food was good water tea and coffee also matcha available all the time . Hot springs , natural hot springs, sauna and steam room available , at any time . Respect the culture no shoes, but locker provided for shoes. Shoes were provided. Loved the place. Thanks to all the staffs "
"The bathroom was incredibly unique and beautiful! The amenities were excellent (the washing machine was a bit difficult to inderstqnd and launch correctly though^^)"
"It's a quit aria. I didn't recive any mail with instructions for check in, so it was not smoorh. Had ti use my international cim card to call them to get the code. But the room was very nice. "
"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...
"A lovely little hotel tucked away down a side street in Kyoto. Very friendly staff, nice room with good a/c (we stayed during an extreme heat episode so were very grateful for that). Nice eateries nearby. Would recommend."
"Very nice, exceeded our expectations. The wooden bath tub with the garden view is great. Maybe some more plants/ greenery in the garden would make it even better. Thank you "

"The staff were so friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean and spacious. The location is fantastic- across from Kyoto Station, shops and malls. Many amenities are provided in the lobby and there is a 7/11 attached with an entrance to the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel!"
"Seems like a new hotel - quite clean and nice. Staff spoke English and were helpful. Comfortable-sized room - not tiny. Had coffee all day and water, tea, and snacks in evening. Have a nice dining area where could sit.
Train across street and bus stop out front. Kyoto station in walking distance. Good bakery next door and convenience stores and restaurants close by."
"Amazing location for a few days. Very comfortable and located in the station which has convenience. Shopping around, food everywhere, just very busy when you leave the hotel if you want something different. The hotel however was very nice. "
"Great rooms. Always pleased with APA. The rooms were reasonably cool even after being out all day, a feature not present in other hotels I've stayed in over summer. All around great experience. The only question I asked myself after checking in was why weren't all of my hotels for this trip as nice. "
"Was a great hotel. Room was a bit small and the worst part was the bed was too low to the floor so you couldn't store a suitcase closed underneath, I had to open mine and slide it under. Overall staff was nice and they helped ship our luggage to Osaka. Also directly across from the train was superior! So helpful and would stay here again."

This hotel quickly became one of my favorite places to stay! I wish we had more time to enjoy it fully. The hotel offered a variety of on-site amenities, and the building itself housed shopping and dining options. They even provided coupons for some of the dining establishments within the building, which was a nice touch.
The restaurant we dined at was fantastic—the food was excellent, and it was conveniently located just downstairs. The hotel's location was ideal; it’s within a 5-minute walk to the station for the local line, making it very easy to get around the city. There was also a park and an aquarium nearby, providing great options for sightseeing and outdoor activities.
Access to all the locations we wanted to visit was incredibly easy, thanks to the close proximity of bus and subway lines. The pajamas they provided were so comfortable, making the stay even more enjoyable.
The only downside was the laundry facility—there were only four washing machines, and unfortunately, one was out of order. However, there was a coin laundry just an 8-minute walk away, so it wasn't too inconvenient.
Overall, this hotel was a beautiful place to stay and truly one of my favorites. I would definitely love to return!"
