The hotel is very modern, has a great view of the park behind the hotel, has an amazing happy hour offering of complimentary beer, wine, cheese, and nuts. The breakfast has a lot of great options, including many Japanese delights but is timed so don’t linger or the staff will make you leave.

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!
