    Wonderful hotel. Room was bright and clean and comfortable. Breakfast was really tasty. General lobby/restaurant/bar area had a nice feel to it, definitely quite 'hip'.

    The room itself was a bit on the small side- we had 2 large suitcases and we couldn’t open them up fully outside of the tatami mat area. Other than that, we had no complaints.

    We really enjoyed the tatami mat experience. The bathroom facilities were excellent as well with everything provided for us. The food was INCREDIBLE and the staff were lovely!

    We really enjoyed our stay at IMU Hotel. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the size of the room + bathroom was larger than we are used to in Japan, everything is clean and nice and the breakfast was really good (many vegetarian/vegan options!). We had in a room for 2 people with bunk beds.

    We couldn’t get the Air conditioning to work but on the second night we asked for the window to be open and that was perfect. I’m sure they would have sorted the air con but we were only there 2 nights .

    Great little hotel. Delicious veggie/vegan breakfasts, fantastic proximity to shops and restaurants.

    Quiet place for good sleep

    The only drawback of our stay is about storage. The room really needs more storage options, there were none in ours, so we had to keep our clothes and things on the small desk and in the suitcases. There were no shelves in the bathroom, although it was really spacious and just empty. Also there were no hooks for jackets in the room or for towels in the bathroom. This problem is not hard to fix, so I hope the hotel management can make this improvement happen.

    Clean and relatively spacious room, comfortable temperature and beds, quiet neighbourhood. The staff are helpful, friendly and communicative. The common area on the ground floor is cozy and relaxing.

    The location of the hotel is very good, close to bus stop and subway station, which can bring you to main sightseeings and the main train station. Personnel was kind, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was okay. There were free hotel amenities, coffee tea and water. In the evening the hotel offered free sake for the guests. Rooms were regular and clean

    Very small size hotel room with minimal luggage space. If you choose this accommodation, ensure that's its extremely minimalist so more suited to younger travellers. Having said that, we were a family of 5 and we managed ok.

    Excellent service from all staff at the hotel. Hotel was very clean and very secure and safe. Good location from Karasuma Station so easy access to tourist destinations. Free breakfast was a plus.
