We had a great experience at The Junei. The staff is simply amazing and hotel is tucked in a quiet area with a great coffee shop located around the corner and a pastry shop next door. After the busy crowded site seeing days in Kyoto it was nice to come back to what feels like a very local neighborhood. We walked to dinner a few nights and loved the local crowds (kids loved the chain restaurant Gyoza No Osho). We had a family style room for our family of four and it was perfect! The onsen bath was amazing! If you want a hotel that isn’t loaded with tourists this is a great place to stay.

Junei West is a great small hotel with amazing staff

agoThis is by far the best hotel i have ever stayed at. Beautiful hidden gem The room was spacious and having your own private onsen was amazing. The staff were very kind and helpful. Pros: - hotel looks so pretty and has that traditional Japanese style -Spacious room, clean and looks so neat. -arrival little sweets - you have all the stuff you need in this hotel including makeup removes, facial toners and serum. -private onsen. -beds are super comfortable -staff are helpful and friendly -able to send your luggage to your next destination - 15 mins walk from the station - there are cafes and familymart nearby. Thank you for having us. We had the best time staying at your hotel.

Lovely, Thoughtful and truely kind and helpful staff. Organized so well for luggage forwarding and everything we needed. Lovely bath. Comfortable beds Large family room.

Location, walk and commute needed anywhere we wished to arrive in Kyoto. Stayed 5 nights. Modest facility, no loby so buisness vudeo conversations tough with young kids No dining room, hotell kithen so breakfast inported upon request and eaten in the room. Spacy room but not in best condition

We loved this hotel! We loved the quiet neighborhood, a little out of the way of the main touristy area, but not too far to walk to catch a quick taxi to those areas. It’s just a short walk to the Imperial Palace gardens, which are free and open to wander through, picnic in, or even jog or bike in (which my husband did). Our room was on the 3rd (top) floor, and, while there is no elevator, the staff brought our bags up and down, and we didn’t mind walking up the stairs at all. The room itself was LOVELY, and I very much enjoyed the bathtub! (Those with mobility issues might have a tricky time with the stairs and floor mats around the table in the room (no western-style table and chairs except at the desk in the room), but if that’s not a concern, it is a truly lovely oasis of calm! The staff all speak excellent English, and were very helpful in finding a great restaurant for dinner (including making reservations for us).

The staff make this hotel. Location is fine, rooms are nice, traditional with modern style and touches but the staff make the place. Ignore the star rating, that's down to minimal additional facilities, if you don't want/need a pool etc, you can't go wrong here.

Nothing

This small boutique hotel is located in quite area of Kyoto, close to the imperial palace. The staff made our stay very pleasant and were always ready to accommodate any request or questions we had. The rooms where large even by western standards, more than 40 m2 and the bathroom with the tub was wonderful. Also it in a very quiet location so there is no noise of any kind.

Extremely helpful and nice staffs, love the room it’s well presented😍. Staffs help us to find a nice Yakitori restaurant nearby. Staffs help us to bring our luggage’s up and down from reception and to the room(our room at level three with lift)

Everything is good except no lift😅 luckily the staff helped us to bring the luggage.

Loved experiencing the Japanese family style room, service was excellent and they assisted with booking restaurants which were amazing. I highly recommend this hotel!

We took taxis to get to places but a bit of a walk to the subway station. Really close to the Imperial Palace and Nijo castle and good location to reach the Golden Temple.

What a wonderful hotel! So peaceful and quite, gives you absolute calmness and Japanese vibes. Comfortable! Love the built in music and the bath was another level!! The hospitality was amazing, the tea was on point, the staff is super friendly and speaks English very well!

The downside is that there are no elevator in the hotel, it's also not near transportations so keep that in mind.

Nice room, lovely breakfast, quiet location.

Lack of hotel amenities, such as bar/restaurant. No elevator, so difficult with heavy bags - but staff all very helpful getting up the stairs! Location is a bit out of the way, but public transport is easily reached.
