A stunning hotel that we could not fault in any way. The room was amazingly modern and clean, and well furnished. The hotel was very well positioned only a few minute walk from Shijo metro station with direct access to Kyoto Station only two stops away. There was a cute bar in the lobby which also offered limited but very lovely food. The staff seemed to take pride in their hotel and their service was impeccable, nothing was too much to ask and they always offered kind greetings. We stayed one night when Japan were playing in the Rugby World Cup and we wanted to watch the game at a local bar. They gave some recommendations and then rang up the one we chose to ask for their availability and told us how it would work for a big event from information on the phone. This was invaluable and we went to the bar to watch the game which turned into one of our three week Japan highlights! Breakfast was unique but lovely and everything was served quickly from a choice of four options. Kyoto is a mesmerisingly diverse city and this wonderful hotel made the experience all the more enjoyable!! Even little things like intuitive controlled air conditioning in the room, extra pillows in the floor corridors and free Japanese sake at the bar every evening go a long way when travelling! Cannot recommend enough, would have paid double the price and still given it as good a review so the fact it is so cheap is amazing.

We enjoyed the bed & breakfast/hostel style atmosphere among the common area. It was nice to see the lobby lively with other travelers and the food was good too! Lots of vegan options. It was a nice balance of modern and traditional. Definitely recommend for groups.

This was one of our favourite hotels from our trip to Japan. The hotel was very stylish and had a nice bar area at the front (they offer free wine and sake to guests staying at the hotel!). The staff were super helpful and friendly, and they allow luggage storage in the daytime should you need it. The rooms were a good size and were clean. There was space for a few suitcases which was a welcome change from the hotels in Tokyo! Imu hotel is in a good location in the dead centre of Kyoto, it’s just a 5 minute walk to the metro station which takes you straight to Kyoto station. There are lots of bars and restaurants in the area too so plenty of selection to eat and drink. We didn’t try the food at the hotel restaurant but it did look great. We would 100% stay at this hotel again should we return to Kyoto.

The water dispenser and complimentary coffee and sake were AWESOME! Everyone was so kind and helpful, and the room was pretty spacious by Japan standards! We had a great shelf (console) above the beds (2 twins) and lots of outlets. Also, having the sink outside of the bathroom was a game changer. Loved the humidifiers and extra pillows in the hallway. And the lobby area is a cute and cozy place to hang. I would definitely stay here again!

Location could be a little more central, but I also liked that it was away from the chaos of the city. No notes other than that! We all really enjoyed our stay!

Cleanliness, the bunkbed, the breakfast. We are always looking forward for breakfast. Taste and presentation is excellent. I have never liked vegetarian food, but there’s is something I came to like. Although I didn’t ask, I hope there is an option to have a boxed breakfast option when you need to be somewhere early in the morning. Kiddo loves the bunkbed, too. The size of the room is small as most Japanese accommodation but there is a space to move around and open one luggage at a time.

It is a little bit far from the train station. Walkable but imagining if I have little kids, this is a bit of a walk.

From the beginning on, we felt like at home. Everyone at the hotel was so friendly and welcoming! The rooms were equipped with a double bed and a bunk bed. Both very comfortable. Enough sockets and USB-outlets to charge all your devices. All rooms are newly furnished, comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was a big surprise - lots of set breakfast menus- also vegetarian and vegan opinions - and a buffet with lots of homemade and organic dishes. A real delight to start your day! The restaurant also offers many vegetarian and vegan dishes. The playground next to the lobby was great fun for my daughter (8).

Some guests might miss a TV in the room - however, we didn’t.

RECOMMENDED. The hotel staff was very kind and they even had freebies everyday at the front lounge. They allowed us to leave our suitcases before the check-in so we could enjoy our first day without having to carry them everywhere or spend money on a locker. The room was small but cozy, even if we were 3 somewhat large adults with a lot of suitcases and carry-ons, we could fit comfortably well and didn't have any problem. The place was very well connected with many bus stops and subway stations, and was very close to many tourist attractions. We really enjoyed the time we had in Kyoto and would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Small room, ac was very high

The location of the hotel was perfect. The room was clean. The food was great. The staff were amazing! At the bar they offered selection of free sake to try, which we enjoyed so much. It was great opportunity to try different types of sake. There was one type of sake that I enjoyed very much and was interested in buying. The member of staff was so helpful that he found the location where they selling it and went to buy it for me on his day off. On our departure day he brought the sake for me. The staff at the reception helped us with transport of our luggage to Tokyo. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Room: Spacious and very clean, slight downside of no desk/table to eat inside the room (they provide communal space in lobby next to reception, but space is limited). Plenty of room to open 2x large luggages. 10/10 value for money. Shower: Amazing - strong water pressure and none of the icky pipings/curtains from the traditional hotels. The shower was simply very new. VERY spacious and enjoyable at 10/10. No tub. Toilet: Clean AND separate from shower which meant it was quite spacious. Bed: Slight firm but in a good way (i.e. does not sag), even on the top bunk. There are sockets for both bottom + top beds. Amenities: Free sake in lobby that gets rotated when it's finished; FREE HOT + COLD WATER from a boiler in lobby; reception has staff with fluent english + chinese + japanese; leaving luggage on check-in/check-out is very easy.

Cons: Wifi reception in top bunk bed was slow/choppy; if walking to Kyoto Station and Gion district it is a long walk (30+mins); toilet paper is terribly thin (as is with all hotels in japan)... But all in all these are immaterial against the price and overall experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ IMU Hotel Kyoto was a bit tricky to find at first, and we ended up taking an Uber since we hadn’t fully gotten the hang of the trains and subways after spending our first week in Hakuba. But once we arrived, we were immediately blown away. The hotel’s large, beautiful glass windows revealed the chef preparing a delicious gnocchi dish, setting the tone for an unforgettable stay. Inside, the restaurant and bar area exuded a friendly, welcoming vibe, with cozy seating that encouraged socializing. We quickly met some lovely couples enjoying happy hour, who kindly invited us to join while our kids had fun in the designated kids’ area. The food was exceptional—well-priced and full of flavor—and the cocktail selection was vast, making it easy to unwind after a busy day. We opted for the more traditional room where we slept on the floor. All four of us had our own single mattress, which rolled out on the tatami floor. The mattresses were like thick memory foam, offering great comfort. The first night, I slept like a baby, but by the second night, I did experience some back soreness from sleeping on the floor. Thankfully, we were only staying for two nights, so it wasn’t a huge issue. The hotel is in a quiet, peaceful part of Kyoto, but still within walking distance to the train station (once we figured it out). We were able to explore the Gion district and wander around the city with ease. Its location was perfect—quiet, yet close to everything we wanted to see. Overall, IMU Hotel Kyoto was a fantastic choice for our short stay. The combination of welcoming ambiance, great food, and comfortable rooms made it the perfect base for exploring this beautiful city.
