Lovely quaint Japanese hotel in a great location close to downtown Kyoto. Staff were friendly, attentive and very welcoming. Very clean hotel-would Definately recommend
We had an amazing stay. The rooms are exceptionally comfortable and well-appointed. The location is in a nice neighborhood within walking distance of various temples and the Gion district. I would highly recommend this property.
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!
Great stay. My girlfriend and I went just for two nights and had a wonderful time. Very cool hotel. We had breakfast and dinner one day and it was delicious. The staff was very kind and helpful. Can’t wait to return
This place was possibly the best hotel I've stayed at in 20 years of travelling. The customer service is impeccable, the rooms have been carefully thought-out to provide maximum relaxation, and the restaurant is top notch. Ensure you eat there!!
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!
The service was exceptional. Decor calming and serene. Location was absolutely perfect for exploring all the busy “must see” locals, but also authentic & beautiful.
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!
The Junei was spectacular in beauty, service, amenities and dining experience. It was so lovely it was difficult to leave. The staff was outstanding and makes you feel as if you are their only customer. We can’t find one negative about this hotel. We highly recommend it.

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!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
