Oops, that isn't the Kyoto University Hospital and/or Medical Center. I don't think that place is affiliated with Kyoto University in any way.

That's south, by Fushimi, not really convenient to much, and I don't think there are many westerner-friendly hotels around there. You could stay at Kyoto Station, which has the Granvia, but you'll have to shlep yourself every day via train, bus or taxi.
