This was our first time in Japan, the staff are super nice and welcoming to tourist. They helped us navigate the area and even booked reservations for us.

Christie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We are a family of 4 and we booked 2 rooms. The service was incredible from start to finish. Aya and Rodrigo go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. There was also a young Japanese man, I forgot his name. He was the sweetest person you will ever meet. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The neighborhood is very quiet and a little bit away from the city, but there are places to eat within walking distance. I would stay here again if we ever came back to Kyoto!
Rasika, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Maria, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

BRINDHA, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is the nicest hotel staff on the whole planet. I'm not exaggerating! As my husband is a vegetarian, we were concerned about getting decent meals. Not only did the staff arrange a special vegetarian breakfast for him (served in the room), but helped us make dinner reservations, and, on a memorable occasion, raced a block away where we were waiting at the laundry, with three options printed out with QR codes and everything, to help us decide which one we preferred. Great with taxis, too; and always remembered to learn our plans for the day and to ask how our day had gone. The hotel is in a small-scale residential neighborhood, quiet but with many services. It is a bit of a hike from the nearest subway station, but it is not hard or genuinely expensive to call a cab if you haven't the legs for it.
Christina, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
S V, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

2/10 Poor

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.

京都は好きで良く行き、中級クラス以上のホテルに沢山泊まっていますが、京都で静かに過ごすには最適な宿でした。 スタッフのサービスもアットホームな感じで非常に良く、また施設自体も綺麗で清潔、隣の部屋の音も全く聞こえません。 お風呂も含めて細部にまでこだわっている施設やアメニティも良く、朝食がまた絶品でした。 次回は、このホテルの別の施設に宿泊しようと考えています。 自分だけの隠れ家的な感じで利用でき、非常に良いホテルです。
