    Pros +

    • Beautiful room with a lot of amenities and snacks! Amazing bath! Most importantly, the hotel staff was superb. Thank you!
    • Every staff member was extremely attentive, always very willing to assist, accommodating and polite. The room was immaculate! Breakfast was phenomenal.
    • We loved the coziness and room aesthetic with the tatami mats and the king size bed and the large wooden bath.

    Cons -

    • There was absolutely nothing I did not like. Junei is fantastic!
    • There was mold on the ceiling where the bathtub was located.
    • The accomadations are nice and the staff friendly, but that is what we experienced throughout all of Japan. Therefore, we didn't think it justified the high price. Yes, you get free drinks but it's also easy to get that from a local store yourself. Most of the hotels we stayed throughout Japan was just as large and had the same amenities but the others were much cheaper per night.

    Incredible hotel! It should be 5 stars!Very friendly staff, gave us gifts for our honeymoon.Beautiful rooms, extremely comfortable beds and we loved the bath! Its 5 mins walk from a train station.100% recommended.

    7ReneePosted on: 6-6-2024

    We liked the quiet location and while everything in the central areas were a bit of a walk or uber drive it wasn't a deal breaker.

    Incredible staff - so helpful and kind. They helped with any restaurant recommendations and bookings without hesitation, and made sure I was okay when I wasn’t feeling well. The room itself was really spacious and clean. It felt more like a suite than hotel room. Complimentary minibar, coffee and premium teas to cap off.

    8BtrenkelPosted on: 4-14-2024

    Stayed at the Junei twice. First room layout wasn't the best; second room was much better (less wasted space). Hotel is a in very quiet neighborhood.

    Learned it - whenever a hotel shows you a room with paper covered windows in their online portfolio. It means your room or in this case bath room looks out to something not so great. Hence all natural light is covered. Only natural light comes from the bathroom; the room itself has no window.We stayed at 2 more hotels in Kyoto and Nara - and all of them had a decent view. One of them had a fantastic view.

    10SupriyaPosted on: 4-12-2024

    Unique! Rooms and bathrooms are spacious done in Japanese style. Do not miss the breakfast. Its Japanese style and wonderful. Staff is very courteous. Metro stations are close by. Very walkable neighborhood.

    10AliPosted on: 11-25-2023

    A mix between modern and traditional Japanese style design with a touch of luxury. Staff spoke perfect English and were super helpful. They surprised us with a nice gift so for our honeymoon. Overall the stay was 10/10.

    10FatimaPosted on: 11-15-2023

    Everything was excellent, amazing hospitality, great staff and excellent rooms

    Location however the staff were very helpful in helping us navigating the locationThe lack of restaurants for breakfast

    10ChouPosted on: 11-2-2023

    If you want comfort, and tradition, look no further. Junei Hotel is a true gem in Kyoto. The concierge service was outstanding. Tailored our visit with personalized recommendations. Quiet, refined, and perfectly located. The roof top gardens are a peaceful retreat after a day of sightseeing.

    There is no view from the room and we could not even open the window. The hotel doesn't have facilities like a pool, gym, or shop, so it's recommended for those who prefer a cozy boutique hotel experience.

    10HiroPosted on: 11-2-2023

    Exceptional room, food and service! Mini bar includes local sake, bear, and multiple kind of juice and it was complementary which was amazing. The breakfast was a culinary journey through Japanese cuisine.

    We could not make a reservation for dinner on the day of arrival. They require advance booking. Taxi driver did not know the place.

    10RobertPosted on: 11-2-2023

    Their hospitality is unmatched. Felt like home away from home.From the decor to the cuisine, everything reflected Kyoto's elegance. A must-stay for any traveler. Staffs were family-friendly and accommodating. The cultural experiences offered were engaging and educational. Enjoyed the on-site spa in the room and local artisan crafts. We also experience Japanese sweets cooking class nearby hotel. Rooms were immaculate and comfortable. The amenities at Junei Hotel are first-rate. I liked Hinoki Bath!

    Restaurant was closed when we arrived. Not many restaurants nearby. Need to walk about 20 min to Kyoto station and Gion district. Not many shops around the hotel.

    8JuliePosted on: 9-22-2023

    The staff were excellent - very helpful and generous with their time. The room was very quiet and peaceful. Excellent breakfast.

    Location - we had to taxi most places as it was too hot to walk.

    8KevinPosted on: 7-14-2023

    Very comfortable and spacious, personal onsen in the room was very luxurious, staff was friendly and courteous, restaurant and meal was very good, location near local shops and shrine was quite convenient.

    Very expensive (but you definitely get what you pay for), a little far from metro stations.

    10AnnPosted on: 6-24-2023

    The hotel is about a mile from Kyoto station and very close to Gion and other points of interest. It was located on a quiet street. The property was beautiful.

    I thought it was well done.

    10Ling S. L.Posted on: 5-15-2023

    Japanese style design with every details is superb and it's very clean. It's has private bath tub in the room which we can enjoy onsen in the room. There is a set of skincare provided in the room and Kyoto tea and coffee bag for us to enjoy in the room.

    If fit 4 people with all the luggages, it will be a bit narrow.

    9JonathanPosted on: 4-9-2023

    We stayed in the big suite on the first floor. Cool minimalist / modern style, comfortable bed, beautiful onsen-style bath. Dinner at the wagyu beef focused restaurant was phenomenal. Japanese breakfast was very good. Staff was friendly and helpful in arranging taxis, dinner reservations. Overall it was a positive memorable stay.

    Breakfast was Japanese style and great but very big, no lighter options and got to be a bit much for 3 straight days, so we skipped one morning. The ceiling of our room had a surprise dripping leak that awoke us one night. We told the front desk and the reaction was sympathetic, but they seemed surprised despite there being a water stain on that part of the ceiling. Seemed like it should be a known issue.The room was the largest in the hotel and comfortable but a bit tight for a family of 5 (3 extra futons did fit snugly), but we expected this. The location was on a quiet street in an older urban neighborhood near the big river. It was fine with good access to a train line, but not particularly idyllic. The cool internal style of the hotel made up for it, though.
