Hotel berhampiran Sumao, Kyoto

First time in Kyoto but definitely not the last. The stay was amazing, literally across the street from Nijo Station. The bed was super comfy and the shower was outstanding! The check in is a hard 15:00, but staff will look after luggage both before and after your stay. Definitely will look to stay here again in the near future!

Nice and clean hotel, good location to browse the city. The staff are kind and friendly. The rooms are not big but family of 3 with one big piece of luggage can easily fit in. Japanese style room is very charming but you might need some time to adjust to a mattress firmness. The breakfast selection is rather limited and repetitive.

The location of hotel is in a walking distance from Kyoto Station. It is not close to the town 四條町. Every time when we go for shopping, we need to take a bus to the downtown. Easy access to anywhere by bus. The hotel staffs are very professional. The breakfast is highly recommended to book before departure. The hot spring, the room size, buffet breakfast, the service of reception are in a high standard. Highly recommended to the travelers who is planning to Kyoto. Interesting point: No shoes in this hotel. U need to lock your shoes in the locker before you walk in the hotel. They provided socks for you to wear.

Overall was okay, a bit far from Kyoto staion. But, hotel has shuttle bus every 20 mins and make it more convenient. Service and amenities were nice. The worst part was humidity of the room and cleanliness (quite low compared to Japanese standard), plus bedsheets were smelly.

This was by far the best accommodation we stayed in during our trip to Japan. I was a bit hesitant to book it as other reviews said it’s far away from everything, but it’s not. A short/cheap taxi from the train station (1000-1200 Yen) self-serve check in and self-serve luggage storage (which was a blessing!) We stayed in an apartment, spacious, modern, clean, separate bedroom, washer/dryer, bath and shower and full kitchen. I would live in this apartment if I could! There are staff in the reception area during certain times if you need help. The bus stop is right around the corner. Food options nearby.

- Lokasi bertentangan dengan Stesen Tokyo. Tetapi ia adalah bahagian restoran. Tetapi ia tidak terlalu jauh untuk berjalan ke stesen kereta api. Hotel ini besar dan luas. - Daftar masuk daftar keluar Anda boleh melakukannya sendiri di mesin. - Perkhidmatan simpanan bagasi disediakan dengan menghubungi kakitangan. - Bilik yang ditempah adalah 2 katil single biasa, tetapi telah dinaik taraf kepada bilik besar dengan ruang sofa untuk berehat. Beg besar 29 inci, 2 boleh dibentangkan dengan selesa, selebihnya lebar di sisi. - Bilik air bersaiz baik Tab mandi tidaklah kecil. - Kelemahan yang dihadapi ialah penghawa dingin tidak boleh dilaraskan. Ketika saya pergi berehat, cuaca di Kyoto sudah mula panas. Tak boleh adjust aircond jadi sejuk. Ia seolah-olah dikawal oleh kerajaan pusat. Panas sangat sampai tak boleh tidur. - Perkara lain ialah Dengan lokasi bersebelahan jalan Kadang-kadang anda boleh mendengar bunyi kereta memandu di jalan raya. Kadang-kadang terdengar bunyi motosikal membelok. Saya terkejut ＞＜

I love this hotel!! The room was huge as compared to other double rooms in a similar class hotel! The service was smooth. The hotel is new so we enjoyed the brand new amenities, super comfortable and clean! I cannot say anything bad about this hotel. It's absolutely 11/10!!

JR亀岡駅からすぐ。目の前にはサンガスタジアムが。高騰している京都市内のホテルに辟易していた私は多少時間はかかりますがリーズナブル&JR一本で京都まで行ける亀岡での宿泊にして正解でした。オープンして数年の為、まだ館内は新しく大浴場や岩盤浴もあります。無料の朝食サービスは思っていた以上に内容が充実していました。手作りのおにぎりは種類もいくつかありおいしい！駅まで戻らないとコンビニがないので買い出しした後にチェックインするほうが便利です。

Came here with family during the Sakura season. It's easy to get to the onset hotel. After arriving at the Ogoto Onsen JR station, towards the south exit you will find a cell phone attached to a board with explanation how to use the phone to call one of the onsen hotels. After the call, their shuttle bus will then come and pick you up between 2pm to 6pm I think. The hotel staff in general are very welcoming. Our family scored a deal with their penthouse suite with private indoor and outdoor onsen. Four of us stayed in the suite and the price is only slightly more than four of us staying in 2 regular rooms. It also came with a beautiful fruit platter for you to enjoy. The suite is very spacious with 2 separate toilets. The bath area has 2 sinks, a shower stall as well as a japanese style bathing area connected to the 2 onsen baths (indoor one is a hinoki wood tub and the outdoor one is a stone one. The outdoor onsen does have a slight privacy issue as there are some residential buildings in a distance. While my mom was a bit too modest to use the outdoor one (which I am not and fully enjoyed it), she did take full advantage of the indoor private onsen. Of course the hotel also has a public onsen for the guests. In fact they have two. One in each towers. I used the one on the top floor in the morning and it was a bless seeing the sunrise while soaking in the hot onsen water. Our package also included both dinner and breakfast that were served at their private dining room. Both meals were done in kaiseki style. We were particularly impressed by their dinner. Not only was it cooked with high quality ingredients and with beautiful presentation, they did not skimp on the quantity as well. Often after eating dinner at other onsen hotel, I would not feel full and actually felt a bit hungry later at night, at Yumotokan the courses kept coming and I was completely stuffed at the end. In fact I did not finish the rice even though it was so yummy (cooked from scratch in front of us with a flamed mini-stove). All in all, a very satisfactory experience. I can recommend anyone who comes to Kyoto/Osaka and wants an excursion and experiences the traditional Japanese onsen.

When visiting Kyoto, we wanted to enjoy some time in an onsen resort so we decided to spend two nights in Ogoto Onsen. After checking the details in their website, we booked a ”Biwa no kaze”room with private onsen and view of Lake Biwako. And we were not disappointed. The room looks newly renovated, and is very spacious with two beds and sitting area plus a tatami room. They offer different dinner packages, and we have chosen crab with steak as the main dishes for the first night, and lobster with shabu-shabu the second night. The foods were of very high quality, tasted and looked very nice. The breakfast buffet was very good with a wide selection of different items. The ryokan is excellent in nearly all aspects. We would stay here again when we next visit Kyoto.
