The Junei Hotel Kyoto Imperial Palace West

Istri saya menemukannya di TikTok dan ingin pergi ke sana, jadi saya menginap di sana untuk ulang tahunnya! Kamar dan stafnya luar biasa 👍 Pijatannya menyembuhkan kelelahan saya karena terlalu banyak berjalan! Senang rasanya melihat begitu banyak tempat untuk dilihat.

Hotel ini berada di gang yang tenang, hanya berjalan kaki ke Taman Kyoto Gyoen dan Kastil Nijo. Staf hotel sangat ramah, mereka mengirim banyak email untuk membantu reservasi makan malam sebelum check in. Saya menyukainya. Meja depan akan menyambut Anda dan menyapa Anda ketika Anda keluar dan memasuki pintu. Kamarnya besar untuk ukuran Jepang, dan kamar mandinya memiliki bathtub besar. Sarapan Jepangnya kaya, pastikan untuk memesan sarapan.

Hotel ini seperti kamar hotel keluarga, dengan tiga lantai dan tidak ada lift. Anda harus membawa barang bawaan Anda ke bawah sendiri. Setelah seharian berjalan, sungguh melelahkan harus menaiki tangga kembali ke hotel! Tidak cocok untuk keluarga dengan orang lanjut usia atau anak-anak yang bepergian. Ini sungguh mengecewakan! Tapi pelayanan hotelnya bagus, kamarnya relatif luas, dan jauh dari kota.

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。

日式和現代的平衡，很舒適～

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.

Small but nice hotel. Our room was clean and large with tatami area. The bathroom was very nice. Service was great. Only was a bit out of the way to many of the sights we wanted to see but close to the Imperial palace which we walked to. Easy to catch taxis about 100 feet away.

Amazing luxurious stay! Premium, clean and comfortable at a reasonable rate. The hotel staff was extremely attentive and helpful. Rooms were big and had a great atmosphere with the tatami area, built-in speakers with ambient music, and of course the relaxing bath! 10/10

This small boutique hotel is located in quite area of Kyoto, close to the imperial palace. The staff made our stay very pleasant and were always ready to accommodate any request or questions we had. The rooms where large even by western standards, more than 40 m2 and the bathroom with the tub was wondwrful I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone that goes to Kyoto.
