Pros: - hotel looks so pretty and has that traditional Japanese style -Spacious room, clean and looks so neat. -arrival little sweets - you have all the stuff you need in this hotel including makeup removes, facial toners and serum. -private onsen. -beds are super comfortable -staff are helpful and friendly -able to send your luggage to your next destination - 15 mins walk from the station - there are cafes and familymart nearby. Thank you for having us. We had the best time staying at your hotel.

We loved this hotel! We loved the quiet neighborhood, a little out of the way of the main touristy area, but not too far to walk to catch a quick taxi to those areas. It’s just a short walk to the Imperial Palace gardens, which are free and open to wander through, picnic in, or even jog or bike in (which my husband did). Our room was on the 3rd (top) floor, and, while there is no elevator, the staff brought our bags up and down, and we didn’t mind walking up the stairs at all. The room itself was LOVELY, and I very much enjoyed the bathtub! (Those with mobility issues might have a tricky time with the stairs and floor mats around the table in the room (no western-style table and chairs except at the desk in the room), but if that’s not a concern, it is a truly lovely oasis of calm! The staff all speak excellent English, and were very helpful in finding a great restaurant for dinner (including making reservations for us).

Loved experiencing the Japanese family style room, service was excellent and they assisted with booking restaurants which were amazing. I highly recommend this hotel!

We took taxis to get to places but a bit of a walk to the subway station. Really close to the Imperial Palace and Nijo castle and good location to reach the Golden Temple.

What a wonderful hotel! So peaceful and quite, gives you absolute calmness and Japanese vibes. Comfortable! Love the built in music and the bath was another level!! The hospitality was amazing, the tea was on point, the staff is super friendly and speaks English very well!

The downside is that there are no elevator in the hotel, it's also not near transportations so keep that in mind.

Nice room, lovely breakfast, quiet location.

Lack of hotel amenities, such as bar/restaurant. No elevator, so difficult with heavy bags - but staff all very helpful getting up the stairs! Location is a bit out of the way, but public transport is easily reached.

Very clean, comfortable and good sizes of room. Staff were very helpful and kind.

Little difficult to get there by taxi. Kyoto has complicated one way roads. Every time I need to go out, staff printed the out map to take, so that it will not difficult to get back by taxi.

From the moment we arrived at the Junei hotel my family and I felt welcome. The staff were courteous and friendly at all stages during our stay. The traditional nature of the hotel makes you feel like you are having a true Japanese experience.

Amazing experience at The June Hotel. They exceeded our expectations. The perfect stay for our first time in Kyoto. The room was perfect, the onset was amazing and the staff was super sweet and accommodating. We loved the whole experience. Thank you!

Wonderful stay!! The room was huge and the personal onsen was very relaxing after walking all day. It is about 10 minutes away from the subway and there are many temples and shrines near by. Staff was amazing and always available for help.

The staff were exceptionally courteous and helpful. The room was very comfortable and relaxing to stay in.
