The hotel location and proximity to Kyoto station and other train access points was perfect. The hotel itself is quaint and comfortable, with its own style and charm. The rooms were very comfortable and clean as well. The absolute best part were the staff - friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming and helpful. The owner himself greeted us on our final day and was extremely appreciative and humble. Such a pleasure to support a local business owned by such a lovely person and operated by a wonderful team.

I like the design of the hotel, the bedrooms and even the bathrooms. It’s very new and well designed. Half the room has a tatami with space for three futons, and the bathroom has a separate design so one area for toilet and one area for bath and shower that can be used separately. The staff it’s nice. No restaurant, but they have facilities for cooking, laundry, and movies. They also have a rooftop for when it’s not raining.

Of all the places we stayed on this trip, this was our family's favorite. The space was perfect for a family of four and we loved that the room got a lot of sunshine. We also appreciated the rooftop space for hanging out between excursions as well as for our morning cup of coffee. The lobby was also a great place to hang and it had a nice espresso machine and a place to cook simple meals. We made use of the easy to operate coin laundry which allowed us to bring less clothes to free up space for souvenirs. Getting places was also convenient since we were a 5 minute walk from the main train station as well as 5 minutes from the less crowded subway stop south of the hotel. The only word of warning is that this is a more traditional Japanese style room with futons and mattress on the floor, so no chairs to sit on but this is what made the room more comfy in my opinion. With that said, my wife made use of the lobby area tables to do a few business calls and it worked great. Finally, Yugo and Shin were very helpful answering any questions we had. We'd definitely come back to use this hotel as a home base to explore more of Kyoto.

Hotel Imagine exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, the staff provided warm, attentive service, making me feel truly welcomed. The rooms were impeccably clean, elegantly designed, and equipped with modern amenities, offering both comfort and style. The hotel’s location was perfect—convenient yet peaceful—allowing for both relaxation and easy access to Kyoto Station. Every detail, from the bedding to the thoughtful touches throughout the hotel, showcased their commitment to excellence. I highly recommend Hotel Imagine to anyone seeking a modern Japanese tradition experience. I can’t wait to return!
