Quiet location, wonderful and delicious, made-to-order breakfast. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We needed to ship our luggage to Matsumoto while we hiked the Nakasendo trail and the staff graciously filled out the freight form for us. We will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends.

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.

8/10 Very good

Imu is 15 minutes walk to the city. The tiny room is clean. No kettle in the room but has a free available coffee machine, hot and cold water in ground floor. Bring your own thermos flask if you are a cuppa lover. Close to combinis and grocery store. The hotel offers food that I found pricey! The nearby grocery store has great varieties of bento, ready to eat food and by 7pm discounted food starts.The grocery offers microwave to warm food. I did not find microwave available within reach in the hotel, did not bother to ask anyway. Has no washing machine in site but 5 minutes walk to the laundry self service. The iron is rechargeable, I found it non-functional. 5 minutes walk to stations. 20 minutes by bus to Gion, Nishiki market is 20 minutes walk or 4 stops by bus then 5 minutes walk to the hotel. 5 minutes walk to the train station that will take you to Osaka. The staff is very polite. They respond to email day after. I asked to receive my package from Jins that i ordered from my earlier trip in Tokyo. I regret to not sending our luggage from Tokyo to Kyoto using the available service in Japan due to trust issues, what should we do if luggages will not receive on time😂? I will try on my next trip to make my trip comfortable. Tokyo station is chaotic and packed! It was very uncomfortable with the luggages We regret not booking luggage locker online, we are not aware of this service. We thought there will be available locker at all times.
