I cannot overstate how wonderful my four-night stay at The Junei (Hirashimaya) was and how underrated this hotel is. I am already plotting on when I can return to Kyoto and place myself there again. GOOD: Do not miss out having breakfast in the restaurant attached to the hotel. As a food-lover, I was constantly spoiled every morning by what was presented to me in terms of quality and flavour. The room I had was silent—so silent the HVAC system sounded like a roar at times. It must be the Japanese way of quiet that ensures I felt like I was the only one in the place despite seeing the guests in neighbouring rooms. I appreciated this peaceful oasis so much. I love the amenities and the products provided by Mikimoto Cosme. There was anything one could wish for in the dressing drawer: hair styling equipment, hair brushes, hair ties, the usual conveniences expected from any self-respecting luxury hotel… And the towels provided were glorious. Housekeeping was meticulous and the room (especially the glasses and cups) was spotless. I read certain complaints about the location but those strangers must not know how to read a map. The hotel is 5 minutes from two convenience stores, less than 10 minutes walk to a major subway line (literally a left and a left, can’t go wrong)… and it was a 20-min stroll to both Kiyomizu-dera or the Gion area. As a solo female traveller, I felt absolutely safe in the neighbourhood. For monolinguals, the hotel staff speak excellent English! BAD: This is a gripe not even worthy of the label “first-world complaint”. The Junei has spoilt me so much. I did not realise it until I moved to the social media-famous Hoshinoya and found myself missing The Junei! I will certainly be returning next year.
