Great friendly and helpful staff. Recommended 2 restaurants which were both excellent and we would never have found ourselves. Away from the centre of town but easy to get there.

Breakfast could be more substantial.

I got the room with the bunk beds and regret not just reserving a regular room. Also, I tried laying on the top bunk and something was extremely wrong with the mattress on the top bunk (like a chunk of the mattress was missing)

The location of Imu hotel is excellent! Close to everything, or within walking distance. The property was clean, and the staff were very friendly and had great recommendations. I loved the breakfast, and I definitely missed having a breakfast included when I moved on to another city. As a solo traveler. I also liked that the hotel encourages people to hang out and be social with a happy hour

I would have preferred more variety with breakfast options, but for a short stay, it was ok. The luggage storage is a bit non-standard: you can use a chain lock and fix your luggage to a bar, but it's occasionally unattended and therefore not quite safe (if you have a backpack).

Good size, clean and quiet room. Comfortable beds. Internet connection fully functional. Hot and cold water available in the lobby and also free sake for guests. Some staff members were very friendly.

It can be changed, but, please, note, that rooms have really limited space. We had to rearrange the position of garbage can and night table, just so that we could fit in our luggage (vertical position). Hopefully the cleaning lady was not mad about it :D also, one of the twin rooms our friends were staying at, had a strong fish smell. I suppose the previous guests had a "fishy accident" and nobody cleaned the carpet thoroughly. But these were just small minuses, which really meant nothing considering all the positive aspects.

Breakfast was nice, location was ok (around 20 min on foot to Nishiki market area). The most appealing thing is free sake, as well as hotel bar discount for hotel's guests. Rooms are small, but that is to be expected in Japan. If you are a couple, I would recommend booking a double room loft, because you can leave your luggage on the upper bunk bed and save some space. Breakfast is really nice, although no meat included, unless you you really want it, you can pay extra. Each day you can choose one from 4 pre-decided breakfast options. Food was fulfilling and included vegetables. Staff had pretty good communicative English.

The door isolation to the hall wasn’t so good. It’s not a party hotel, so it becomes quiet relatively early.

Location, location and location! Easy access to subway/buses and a walking distance to great restaurants and bars. Great breakfast and super nice staff.

They do not offer one bed room for solo traveler. I had to book a bunk bed.

Staff spoke English and all you can drink sake? Should I go on? As a solo traveler it made it worth while because I got to meet other travellers who were visiting from North America and all over the world!

The staff are so helpful and friendly. Downstairs lobby is warm and inviting so there is often a nice buzz downstairs. This means you have the option to relax in your room or downstairs. Lovely food and drink on offer. Room was clean and cosy and the shower was nice and powerful.

It’s a modern hips hotel in a place where you normally would go out all day and come back just for sleeping (as Kyoto has so many attractions )

Price location and staff

Nothing to mention.

Sparkly clean property, good vibes and super friendly and helpful staff. The property also offers a wide Sake selection, which is a nice way to treat and welcome their guests.

We received phishing messages from this hotel on booking.com app. Not entirely sure if it is the hotel or the booking.com (or both) that lacks in cybersecurity. Definitely did affect the hotel experience negatively as it gave us unnecessary stress during our japan trip.

Clean spacious rooms, great breakfast.

The room is small but very comfortable, highly recommend for single/couple travelers on a budget. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the lobby bar is nice for a drink after a long day of exploring Kyoto. We also liked the included breakfast. Overall a great stay!

Room on the cramped side

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast. Lots of little extras including free coffe, tea and sake

The vibe of the place is quite "basic" and functional, don't expect something traditional.

Cosy and larger than average room (by Japanese standards) with a cute loft to sit and chill. Clean and spacious toilet+shower combo (the sink is in the room). Comfortable bed. Nice lounge.
