The Junei Hotel Kyoto Imperial Palace West

The hotel itself does not have any facilities. Basically, the scope of activities is in the room, but the room is quite big, so it is not a big problem. The design is very thoughtful, the room and bathroom even have background music, and welcome refreshments. But if you want to choose a room, you may have to arrive early. When we arrived at 5 or 6 o'clock, there were no options left, only the double room opposite the front desk. But I have to say that it may also be due to the location of the hotel. It is very quiet and equipped with The music of chirping birds and fragrant flowers has a different feeling. The location in a residential area has its pros and cons. The disadvantage is that it is very inconvenient. There are no convenience stores or supermarkets nearby. The nearest supermarket is a 10-minute walk away. It is quite windy when the weather is cold, which is not pleasant. The nearest public transportation station is 10 minutes, and the subway is almost 15 minutes. If you have too much luggage and don't have a car, I don't recommend you to check in. Or you can find a way to store your luggage before coming back.

My wife found this hotel on TikTok and wanted to go, so we stayed here for her birthday! The room and staff were great👍 We also got a massage, which helped relieve the fatigue from walking so much! There were lots of things to see around, so it was wonderful.

The balance between Japanese style and modernity is very comfortable ~

The hotel is in a quiet alley, just walking distance to Kyoto Gyoen Garden and Nijo Castle. The hotel staff is very friendly. They sent many emails to help with dinner reservations before checking in. I like it. The front desk will greet you and say hello when you go out and enter the door. The room is huge for Japan, and the bathroom has a huge bathtub. The Japanese breakfast is rich, be sure to book breakfast.

The hotel is a room in a family hotel, with a total of three floors and no elevator. You need to carry your luggage downstairs by yourself. After walking for a day, it is really tiring to climb the stairs when returning to the hotel! Not suitable for families with elderly or children traveling. This is really discouraging! But the service of the hotel is good, the room is relatively spacious, and it is far from the urban area.

The front desk staff is a foreigner, and when I checked out I asked them to arrange a taxi for me. The taxi was taking a while to arrive, so they went out in the light rain to guide me to the main street. I was able to leave feeling refreshed. Thank you very much.
