Beautiful property

Great hotel. No complains at all, wish I stayed longer. They had free wine, beer and snack. Rooms are big, very spacious (compared to others I stayed at in Japan) The breakfast buffet it was ok (not my preferred food for breakfast) but convenient. The little cafe in the lobby has great sandwiches. Everyone is so nice, but I found that everyone in Japan is. Beautiful country!

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!

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.

This is a very clean and modern and new facility. Very nice. Not super fancy and people even come to breakfast in there provided pajamas. They have free beer and wine every evening and very cool atmosphere. It is within walking distance of about a block to the Starbucks and to the train station.
