Such a lovely hotel. The vegan breakfast set was fantastic and so were the free daily sake samples. My room was clean and bright and the staff were all so lovely. Highly recommended.

We stayed one night at this property. It is quite a walk to a station, but the area around the property has many shops and restaurants. It is only a 5-minute walking distance from the Pokémon Center. Check-in is at a kiosk, and staff can communicate in English pretty well. The property also provides essential toiletries, including a toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, and razor. They helped us store our luggage after we checked out because our Shinkansen is scheduled at 20:00, allowing us to explore Kyoto hand-free. There's also a restaurant in the lobby, serving modern, vegan-friendly Westernized meals. They even offered free sake the day we stayed I want to give a shoutout to the very helpful staff who support us with our mishap with Yamato Transport. Their name are Uehira Ryoma and Matsumoto Haruka. I had my Osaka hotel send luggage to Imu, however, the luggage was arriving late. I had to leave at 20:00, but the luggage was still not delivered at 17:00. The staff helped me call Yamato and my hotel in Osaka to sort out the situation. They even offered to send my luggage to Tokyo if it got delivered after I left. Uehira-san even ran to a nearby Yamato location to figure out the situation. Luckily, the luggage finally arrived at 19:00. I am so thankful for their help.

Great nice stay.

This hotel is great. Internal decor and space design and allocation in the room is very good, making the best use of the space. The condition of the hotel is new. Breakfast is well presented. The staff are also very hospitable and genuinely pleasant. They are also good in English. Good location as well.

I loved this hotel! The location was perfect and in a walking distance from many sightseeing places. It was very clean too. Only the rooms were unbelieably small. For 1 person it would not be a problem, but for 2 people opening the luggage could be an issue. Despite this, I loved staying here.

Wow, what an amazing little hotel! We booked two rooms for our family of 4 to explore Kyoto. When we arrived we received a warm welcome and were able to leave our luggage locked in a secure location until check in time. We were offered free coffee, tea and water in the lobby. The rooms were sparkling clean. Yes, the rooms were small, but we believe that is typical in Japan. We are always more concerned about cleanliness anyway. And again, this place is spotless. We even had air purifiers in our rooms. Breakfast was great and plentiful. Lots of options (even western options). Subway was close (about a 6 min walk)for moving around Kyoto. The only somewhat downfall is that hotel isn’t as central as others in the area. However, the cleanliness of the room, great service and amazing breakfast made up for the location. We would definitely recommend the Imu Hotel in Kyoto.
