THE JUNEI HOTEL Kyoto Imperial Palace West

We had a wonderful stay at the JUNEI HOTEL Imperial palace west! The environment was very traditional Japanese and was very joyful to stay in. My daughters loved the complimentary popsicle offered and the bamboo forest looking bathroom. The staff were super helpful and kind! They helped me find great restaurants near by! We spoke some Japanese to the staff and they loved it (even though it wasn’t amazing). We had the best time and really got to experience the beauty of the traditional Kyoto style! My family loved our stay and would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to find a cute Japanese hotel to stay in.

The room has a good size for a baby to crawl around and the staff was very helpful and attentive. The ceramic bathtub was amazing and we had a good soak every single day. Location is good too with many parking options available if you are driving, and it is only 10 mins drive to the city centre. Highly recommended!

A very friendly and personalised welcome at this smaller and more traditionally Japanese ryokan-style hotel. A low table and cushions, three types of tea, cool jazz in the bedroom, Japanese snacks, and the last word in bathroom automation for bath (taps you have to touch are sooo last century) and WC (mind-blowing!), plus piped birdsong and the sound of running water. ||It's in a relatively quiet part of town near the Imperial Palace Gardens, but there are plenty of informal restaurants and bars around, and it's on bus routes or a 15 minute walk from the subway station that will have you at the main station in another 15.

We had a fabulous stay at THE JUNEI HOTEL Kyoto Imperial Palace West. Our room was immaculately clean, spacious, and thoughtfully appointed with every comfort a guest could desire in a top-tier establishment. The spa-level products in the bathroom and carefully curated tea assortment were exceptional touches that made our stay truly delightful.|What elevated our experience beyond expectations was the hotel staff, without question the most considerate and attentive I've ever encountered. Their thoughtful service made every moment of our stay memorable.|I couldn't recommend THE JUNEI HOTEL Kyoto Imperial Palace West more highly to any traveler seeking a wonderful stay in Kyoto.

The kindest people who could not do enough for us. What a lovely stay in a quiet corner of Kyoto. Convenient location for all attractions, the warmest team and a comfortable spacious room. We were staying with our baby and the team went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thank you so much!

Came back after six years and felt home. The room was big and comfortable, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. I loved how the place blended traditional Japanese style with modern design—it felt both cozy and stylish. The bed was super comfy, and the bathtub was great for a relaxing soak. Would definitely stay here again.

The JUNEI HOTEL Kyoto Imperial Palace West is the epitome of Japanese hospitality. From the moment my family and I arrived, the staff was friendly and accommodating. We especially wanted to thank Ryuji and Rie for being so kind and welcoming. ||From our in-room onsen to the futon beds on tatami mats our kids slept on, it felt like we were staying in someone’s home. The room was cozy but enough for a family with two teenagers. ||We highly recommend this lovely hotel and we would like to stay there again during our next visit to Kyoto.

The Junei Hotel was one of the best hotel experiences that I've had in my life. The staff were so kind and helpful. Even with Japanese high standards, they exceeded my expectations. The welcome snacks in the room were amazing! I also loved the look and feel of the room. The cherry on top was the amazing soaking tub. High recommend staying here!
