The staff at the Junei Hotel was amazing. They were attentive and helpful in every way. We loved how clean the room was, and the soaking tub was wonderful at the end of the day. The hotel is in a quiet, more residential part of the town, and we did travel by taxi quite frequently.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff
Exceptional staff and beautiful rooms. We had a wonderful time here and would recommend it to anyone. The location is excellent for the palaces if that’s what you’re into but not near the main shops and older districts. We caught taxis everywhere which the hotel organised for us and we were very happy with that. Wasn’t too expensive compared to Europe and other places visited.

For the price, JUNEI Hotel Kyoto Imperial Palace West is an excellent option for those interested in having a more traditional, ryokan-type experience. While there is not a huge list of amenities, the service was excellent (shout out to my man Rodrigo, who hauled our luggage up three flights!), the rooms themselves are excellent. We chose a room with a king bed, which was very comfortable, more so than other ryokan-style hotels we stayed at. The bathing tub was wonderful, with relaxing music and high quality bath products. Our king bed room did have a window, and was extremely clean, quiet, and peaceful. The location is convenient to the Imperial Palace but not necessarily to much else. There are some nice cafes nearby, though! Next door is a petite donut shop with a very nice owner that we recommend.

We were really disappointed with our stay at JUNEI considering how much we paid. We were placed in the room right next to reception which meant that you could hear everything going on outside including people coming and going and speaking to the staff. It felt like we had absolutely no privacy and we weren’t able to sleep well due to all the noise. The pillows were uncomfortable and I’ve been to cheaper hotels that have used better linen. They didn’t provide a phone charger which every hotel seemed to provide before we came to JUNEI. Overall very disappointing - hotels should never place guests right next to reception with zero sound proofing facilities.

Wonderful stay
The hotel is a nice blend of the old and the new. Room is big and has futon and western bed option. The tatami was well maintained, had a natural freshness of the flooring. The overall ambience was relaxing.The service at the hotel is fantastic; helped us to make reservations for dinner and any quick questions was followed up promptly even if they do not have an answer on the stop. We wanted to go Arashiyama and they came back with the transportation options. The breakfast was on time daily and fresh! Only downer was that they only have Japanese tv channels and the place can be abit of a search.

What a fantastic little hotel. Off the main tourist drag, but conveniently located. I can’t say enough about the staff. This hotel was a wonderful surprise, as I had booked it in desperation when I couldn’t find another hotel in Kyoto. Turns out it was my lucky day. I am almost tempted not to write a great review, as the hotel is quite small...however, this little gem deserves a major shout out for its excellent service and value. To those who book here...take care of this place.

The hotel is beautifully decorated with very, very modern facilities including a hydrogen bath which was lovely and a raised tatami area for having breakfast which was terrific. Staff could be more knowledgable about nearby restaurants as the location is a bit out of the way. Very quiet.

very nice boutique hotel spacious peaceful rooms
Nice spacious rooms, a lot of nice features. However aside from the one hostess, the rest of the staff was absolutely clueless about staying at the hotel. They didn't know about any places for breakfast no tours, couldn't even call a taxi. However the main girl was wonderful. When she wasn't there however, it was hard to do things.

Beautiful room / OK overall
The room was beautiful, a bit old style in terms of tech but it was overshadowed by the traditional interior. It’s a small place, only 8 rooms, however we met 6 persons in charge during our 24 hour stay. It did make it a bit awkward because some of them were super friendly, whereas others didn’t keep up. In essence, it’s worth the money but not sure if I’ll stay there again due to the location being far away from the center.
