    Great staff and owner, helpful and friendly. Clean and cozy room, modern and youthful. I didn't realise (my mistake) the breakfast is exclusively vegetarian, but it was delicious nonetheless! Leaving our luggage after check-out was very helpful!

    If you seek traditional rooms, this is not so fun. Very Western.

    Everything was great. From our 2 weeks in Japan this was the best value. Good location, close to the market and transports, comfy beds, privacy. The staff was nice and let us leave our luggage, gave face creams and made very interesting vegetarian breakfast. One of the rare places to get decent sleep.

    The soundproofing on the doors is a little weak, so you can hear conversations happening in the hallway.

    The building is super new and the staff are super helpful and friendly. The free breakfast is nice and there’s complimentary sake in the evenings.

    there really isn’t anything we can think of.

    Where to begin? Great location, only few minutes from the metro station. Very pretty and stylish interior. Amazingly clean. but most of all outstanding and courteous hospitality of the staff. Especially the chef cook that works at the bar! Very comfortable checkin and checkout. The breakfast was delicious and a good combination of japanese and not too difficult for the western tongue. we stayed in another hotel in Japan the days before which was ok but this one was outstanding! the cherry on the cake was the free sake in the evening where we also met other kind guests. And also the free coffee machine (real beans) and tea, which is especially nice if you have a flight before breakfast. The Imu hotel made our stay in Kyoto perfect! Thank you so much! Arigato gozaimasu!

    The only negative aspect was that the room was quite warm but we asked a couple of times to open the window and it got better!

    Great location, staff was very helpful and friendly, room was very neat, clean and pleasant. Breakfast (always vegan) was very good as well!

    The AC is central and you are not allowed to change the temperature. The room was a little warm but they gave us the option of opening the window for cold air ventilation.

    Very convenient location to central lines and walking friendly to several locations.

    We could hear the bit noise when others use water. Breakfast was not buffet and only one plate of vegetarian food and soup which might be not enough for some people.

    Room was really clean and easy check-in, -out was with machine. Location was great, close to station. Staff was nice and reliable, I would like to stay again when i travel in Kyoto.

    The restaurant is vegan, which is fine, but on 2 of our 3 mornings the breakfast was basically salad and bread which wasn’t particularly filling. There is a children’s play area downstairs in the cafe area so there were often screaming kids around.

    A stylish little hotel run by very pleasant staff. The downstairs area is a cafe / restaurant but it’s mostly free for guests to use. The wifi is good in this common area at > 50mbps, but unfortunately it wasn’t so great from our rooms. Soft pillows!! There was a choice of pillows in the corridor ranging from firm to soft, so people from all corners of the world are catered for and can have a comfortable night’s sleep. The bed was also comfortable. A great shower that is fully stocked with shampoo, body wash, conditioner. Your room can be cleaned if staying >2 nights and towels changed each day, but we didn’t opt for this. Breakfast was free each day, with a range of juices and iced coffee. Can’t forget about the free sake that was available each evening too - what a treat! Location was excellent - close to a couple of different stations and a walkable distance to many attractions and restaurants / cafes / convenience stores. Secure luggage storage available. Our room was also available for check in early. An almost perfect stay in wonderful Kyoto!
