THE JUNEI HOTEL Kyoto Imperial Palace West

We loved our stay here. The staff were so nice and the room was perfect for our family of four to experience a more traditional type of accomodation.

We had the deluxe twin and the sunken bath was wonderful. Japanese breakfast was out of this world.

It was such a pleasure staying at The Junei Hotel Imperial Palace. The rooms were quiet and comfortable. The bentobox breakfasts were delicious, nutritious and had a variety of foods that even our pickiest family member enjoyed sampling. Most impressive, though were the hotel service team. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and consistently went above and beyond to help us make the most of our time in Kyoto. We felt comfortable and cared for throughout our stay. We look forward to seeing Kazuma and the whole team again on our next visit to Kyoto.

This boutique hotel was the absolute highlight of our trip to Japan. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the exceptional, personalized service. The staff is remarkably attentive and goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed—even greeting us with thoughtful complimentary snacks upon arrival.The attention to detail is evident in every corner of the property. The decor strikes a balance of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern comfort, creating a cozy and serene atmosphere. We absolutely loved waking up to the beautifully prepared and delicious traditional Japanese breakfast—it was a culinary experience in itself!While the hotel is a bit outside the central tourist hubs, it was actually our favorite part of the location. It is nestled in a quiet, peaceful, and genuinely authentic Kyoto neighborhood, allowing you to experience the local charm without the crowds. Yet, it is still incredibly convenient, being just a short, pleasant walk from the Imperial Palace and a nearby subway station. We also booked a relaxing aromatherapy massage in our room with very professional and attentive therapists that helped our sore muscles recuperate from all the travelling. If you are looking for a personalized, tranquil, and authentic stay in Kyoto, look no further. Highly recommended!
