Great hotel, staff, and location. The street is quiet and peaceful which is nice as other parts of Kyoto can be hectic. However, the hotel is walking distance from many areas and very central. The staff was great. I would highly recommend booking a rooftop session to use the sauna and cold plunge on the roof. The breakfast was traditional Japanese and delicious.

This is a wonderful stay and my best experience so far at Japan. People are super friendly. When you arrival, there is welcoming black tea. Room is very clean. Snacks and drinks are delicious and free! Bedding, bathing, showering are all great, comfortable and clean. Also this place is located in very quiet neighborhood. Convenient transportation to most attractions

The Junei Hotel Kyoto is a serene gem, close to everything but peacefully tucked away. Our Deluxe King Room was a beautiful blend of tradition and comfort, with tatami floors, a spacious onsen-style bath, and lovely skincare. The staff were absolutely wonderful: warm, friendly, and so helpful. We did not want to leave, will come back for sure!

Junei is not a full service hotel. Staff is kind. It has 10 special rooms for lovers & couples. Not centrally located. Expedia did this in Dubrovnik also. They advertised a hotel & I was in a house with an Australian couple. This is unfair, Expedia. There are other services we can move to!

Amazing time at the Junei Hotel. Staff were very friendly and helped us quite a bit. Front desk had excellent English as well as the restaurant staff. We had the dinner at the on site restaurant and it was beyond any meal I've had in the past. I would definitely suggest staying at this hotel!

Clean rooms. Well appointed with coffee/tea/snacks and mini bar. Very relaxing. Restaurant was very good for dinner and traditional Japanese breakfast (NOT Western style if that is your hope) walkable to transit, convenience stores, restaurants and some traditional temple sites. Welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend!

Lovely hotel with super friendly and helpful staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay. The rooms were spotless with a lovely Japanese aesthetic - a little bit of Japanese culture was a really nice touch. The minibar items, although limited, were all complementary. We had a king bed and an extra bed for my 19 year old son - both were extremely comfortable and the sheets really crisp yet soft. I found it more comfortable than the Peninsula in Tokyo. The location was great for us. Walk to some attractions, and a short taxi ride to the train and the main restaurant spot/down town. The front desk ordered a taxi within a few minutes.
If we ever return to Kyoto we would definitely stay there again.

Our stay at the Junei Hotel Kyoto was amazing! Best service we’ve ever received from a Hotel staff, especially from Masahito (I believe is his name) at the front desk. He went above and beyond with any request or questionwe had. Such a kind individual along with the rest of the staff. We can’t wait to be back!

The staff were friendly and kind the aesthetic was lovely and the area was a nice home base. The shower and amenities were also nice. The reason I am not giving it a better review is the cooling system was awful. The room was simultaneously freezing and damp. The futon for our son was super thin. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Friendly staff, great amenities, good location. The rooms are very clean, comfortable, private. The restaurant serves multi-course Japanese breakfast and dinner, make sure to sign up in advance. The hotel is close to the main train station, busy downtown, and also to a few temples within walking distance.

A truly wonderful small hotel.
A very soothing bedroom, beautifully designed with its own onsen bath.
Lots of thoughtful and generous touches, without being over the top. (No outside view because windows are screened, but that added to the sense of serenity.)
The bath was a wonderful way to end the day.
Superb location, not far from Gijon and the sights to the east of Kyoto, in a lovely quiet area.
Best of all are the staff. They are outstandingly helpful, thoughtful and kind. They also came up with eating recommendations and were immensely friendly and useful when I had a problem affecting onward travel. A great team!
Strongly recommended.

We stayed here for two nights during our visit in Kyoto. Great location for a couple of nights, as it is close to the Kyoto National Museum and Sanjusangendo temple. The staff were welcoming, kind and wanted to ensure we had a great a great stay. Breakfast was exceptional! We had the most incredible and delicious traditional breakfasts. A highlight of our stay! While I loved our room and the incredible bathtub it offered, the one negative for me was a musty odor in the room (I am sensitive to smell). We stayed on the ground floor and would ask the hotel to kindly look into this.
