From start to finish everything was perfect. I booked my first trip to Japan about 3 months ago and after reading reviews I chose the Junei hotel in Kyoto. …

We absolutely loved our stay at the Junei Hotel Kyoto and regard it as one of our favourite hotels we've ever stayed at. The hotel and rooms are absolutely stunning- you feel you are at a relaxing garden or spa. The free drinks included in the room were also very handy coming home from a long day of exploring as well. We did the rooftop sauna and it was absolutely magical- we requested the telescope as well and due to the perfectly clear night, we could see the moon and Jupiter! Location wise, it was great- walking distance to the main station. We did take a few cabs but that was mainly due to the extreme heat and travelling with older folks. Lastly, but certainly not least, what made this place so special was the staff. They were INCREDIBLE- so kind, friendly and always going above and beyond to any request we had. 10000/10 customer service and experience!

I went on a trip for 1 night and 2 days! Overall, the inn was new and clean, and the staff provided pleasant customer service, making us feel comfortable from beginning to end!The building itself isn't that big, and the entrance is set back and narrow, so I was a little lost since I wasn't familiar with the area💦Sake and juice were provided, and the tea was all delicious!Personally, I was happy that the hair dryer was refurbished♪There was space in the sauna, so I used it! The exterior is very stylish, and since it is reserved for private use, you can spend a relaxing time!It might have been because it was still cold, but the sauna itself is so big that even after a lot of relaxing, the temperature didn't get too high!If you go for the sauna, you may not be able to get well-equipped.Everything else was very satisfying! ! I would like to visit you again if I have a chance 🙌

Very “Japanese” hotel without having the atmosphere of a Ryokan. The welcome is serious but not warm, the rooms are well equipped but without daylight or almost. …
