"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. "
"It was a wonderful stay, a nice experience in a Japanese house. Mama and Papa are so kind and generous, very welcoming, and the place is so cosy and charming. I'd happily come back and stay here! 😊🤗 "

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 Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Umekoji
10/10 Excellent
"This property exceeded my expectation. It is a quick 1-stop train ride from Kyoto station. The property is right across the station with a Starbucks and Family Mart right next to it. There are also good restaurants and the Kyoto aquarium within walking distance to the property. The room is spacious than the usual in Japan and bathroom is very modern. Cleanliness in the entire hotel is very visible. There is a public bath offered for free, a traditional bath in Japan. The room is furnished with a safe, mini fridge and complete toiletries with a set of pj for the public bath which you can also wear in the room. There's a room for ice and a microwave along the hallway and a vending machine by the public bath. I need to mention how impressed we were with breakfast. It was a buffet with a lot of hot dishes, mixed of Japanese and American, desserts and drinks. Better to include the breakfast to your reservation. "
"Le buffet déjeuner était délicieux et toujours plein, même lorsque l’on arrivait vers la fin du service. Les bains étaient propres, nous avions accès à plusieurs options dont un bain de méditation. La chambre était spacieuse pour un hôtel japonais, mais le lit était très dur (nous nous sommes habitués après quelques nuits). Dans l’ensemble, nous avons eu une très belle expérience !"
"It's just a few minutes walk to the Kyoto station which makes getting in and out of the cith easy. Not far from many of the local attractions. The hotel has an osen which is nice. "
"We booked a large four-bed room at Hotel Emion in Kyoto. It was perfect for our family - room was super spacious and comfortable. The hotel’s in a really convenient spot too. There's a small JR line from the airport that connects straight to Kyoto Station and was wheel chair friendly.
The public baths were clean and were mostly empty (surprising). There’s also a vending machine in the hotel, plus a 7-Eleven right next door. There are also a few restaurants inside the hotel.
Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely come back!"
"A beautiful room at a reasonable price. Proximity to both the local subway lines and the JR line (bullet train) makes this hotel the perfect place to stay. There are a multitude of restaurants available too! Even convenience stores in the train station! I highly recommend this hotel. "
