Ulasan The Junei Hotel Kyoto Imperial Palace West

酒店本身並沒有任何設施，基本上活動範圍就在房間，但房間挺大，不是太大問題。設計上非常有心思，房間和浴室甚至有背景音樂，亦有歡迎茶點。但如果想選擇房間可能要早點到，我們到的時候5點多6點已經沒有選擇了，只剩下前台對面的雙人房，但不得不說，可能亦因酒店位置緣故，非常幽靜，配上鳥語花香的音樂另有一番感受。位於住宅區之中的位置有好有壞，壞處便是非常不方便，附近亦沒有便利商店，超市之類，最近的超市要走10分鐘，天氣冷的時候還是挺大風的，不太好受，而附近的公共交通站點最近亦要10分鐘，地鐵要差不多15分鐘，太多行李又沒有車的話不建議大家來入住，或者可以找方法存放一下行李先再來。

TikTokで嫁が見つけて行きたいと言う事で嫁の誕生日に宿泊しました！ 部屋もスタッフさんも素晴らしい👍 マッサージもよべて沢山歩いた疲れも癒やされました！ 周りには見る所も沢山あって素晴らしかった

小朋友喜歡這裏的榻榻米和温泉，除了沒有晚餐安排。前台服務人員態度非常好 衞生很好 入住問候信和小點心 等細節做的好。

酒店在一條安靜的小巷裡，去京都御苑走路即可，去二條城也是走着就到了。酒店員工十分友好，入住前往來許多郵件幫忙預訂晚餐，贊一個。出門、進門前台都會打招呼、問好。在日本來説房間極大，衞生間裏有巨大的浴缸。日式早餐豐盛，一定要預訂早餐。

酒店就是家庭旅館的房間，一共三層樓，沒有電梯。需要自己把行李搬下樓。走了一天，回到酒店還要爬樓梯實在是累！不適合有老年人或者孩子出行的家庭。這一點真的很勸退！但是酒店的服務不錯，房間也比較寬敞，距離市區較遠。

日式和現代的平衡，很舒適～

Our stay at the Junei Imperial Palace Hotel was great and one of my very best hotel experiences. The hotel itself was very comfortable and is beautifully appointed in a sophisticated traditional style. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly and went over and above to make our stay very enjoyable. I look forward to returning next time I visit Kyoto and I’m very happy to recommend this wonderful hotel. Ratko Petrovic June 2024

We wanted our first trip to Japan to be special and looked for a ryokan in Kyoto. But then we found this place, where the ambience is as close as to a traditional Japenese inn but provides all modern amenities. The staff was very welcoming and recognized us every time we entered. The room was spacious and we felt at home from the first minute. Especially the small but private patio in front of our window provided a beautiful view, even when it was raining. The bathroom was even more sensational. Everyone of us enjoyed the bathtub, including the soothing music. All in all: we couldn't have made a better choice! Thanks to the JUNEI HOTEL team our stay in Kyoto was even more wonderful, that we hoped it would be.

The staffs are extremely friendly and helpful providing us the map of amenities nearby and even gave us a detailed explanation of how to use the different functions and details of our room. I noticed the hotel has no lifts, so going up and down might be a challenge for disabled person. You might want to notify the hotel in advance for a room on the ground floor. Room is really huge for two person. Large sitting area, a huge bathroom and just lots of space. The room comes soft music and a separate music for the bath. Totally zen feeling. The only downside is the location - the nearest train station is a 15mins walk away but at the same time I love the quiet neighborhood away from all the tourist and crowd. I would recommend taking a bus to visit all the popular attractions since Kyoto is not as well connected via the train compared to Osaka or Tokyo. The bus stop is a short 3-4mins walk away. Bus 12 brings you to the downtown Shijo area (20mins ride). The nearest FamilyMart/convenience store is 4mins walk if you wanted to grab snacks or drinks.

We stayed in early July at the Junei Hotel Kyoto Imperial Palace West for two nights in a Deluxe Twin Room. We found the hotel to be in a good location for our literary, as we used taxis or the bus stop several minutes’ walk away on the main road. The bus stop is located at a ***** of restaurants, convenience store and laundromat. This is a small boutique two story hotel just inside an alleyway type street. The exterior entrance and lobby are inviting with the traditional wooden structure and lattice, lit with warm lantern lighting, especially when returning from an excursion. The staff were always very friendly, helpful and welcoming. We found the room to be very spacious, and the décor aesthetically pleasing. The raised tatami mat area with low table, is not only functional for eating and sleeping (there are two beds and I used the roll out mattress from the cupboard on the mats) but this area fused traditional with modern. There is a separate toilet located inside the door. The bathroom contains a shower and a large free standing bath adjacent to a balcony window containing a small bonsai type garden. This was a relaxing place to soak and unwind as the heated recirculating water burbled back into the bath, and light filtered in through the window and garden. The speakers in the bathroom complemented the scene with soothing tranquil music and nature sounds. In fact it was so good, we played this often via the room speakers too. A separate basin area outside the bathroom provides access to the balcony. It’s small, but I enjoyed standing out there when eating my BYO breakfast. We stayed at bigger brand hotels in the other cities, but we enjoyed the Junei Hotel Kyoto Imperial Palace West the most, and we plan to stay here again on our next visit to Japan. Tip: Make sure if giving a taxi driver the hotel name that you state “The Junei Hotel Kyoto Imperial Palace West’ as there is another hotel similarly named “The Junei Hotel Kyoto”, but further out.

Great location in low key residential neighborhood in good walking distance to Gion and downtown Kyoto for reasonably fit adult. Excellent service and attention to detail in the room. Front desk staff are attentive and patient, room amenities above and beyond most hotels. Well worth the money and I hope to stay here again next time I’m in Kyoto!

Our family had a great stay at the Junei Hotel. We had a family style room with tatami and an onsen style bath. It was a great experience. Incredibly clean and comfortable with the best pajamas ever! The staff is excellent and the small hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood which makes for a nice break from the tourist crowds. We found two great coffee places, a bakery, market and lots of small local restaurants within a few block radius. Highly recommended.

A hidden gem off the main road. We were warmly greeted but the front desk and explained the amenities of our room and how to the use the amazing private onsen/bath. The staff and the hotel were amazing. One of the pleasant surprises was the delicious donut store right next door. We loved being in a quieter part of town and were able to explore more areas. We were recommended to check out a really cool ramen place called Fire Ramen, which was delicious and a fun show to see the bowls of ramen catch on fire.

Amazing place - staff is very nice, room very specious, very clean, great location, great speakers in the room, very comfortable beds I had the most beautiful Time with my fiancé there. You will love it. Next to the hotel is a doughnut place you should try!
