Our stay was exceptional, and we can’t wait to return to Hotel Imagine Kyoto on our next visit!
Pros:

The location was perfect; just a short walk from Kyoto Station while still feeling quiet and uncrowded. The rooftop was a favorite spot for our kids, and the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. We also loved that the hotel offered cultural experiences like matcha making and Japanese lessons, and we hope to participate next time. Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay, and we’d happily come back.

Cons:

Nothing, it was 10/10.

Fabulous for families and close to Kyoto Station
Pros:

I’m so glad we booked this hotel. Super close to two different convenient stores and Kyoto Station. The room was large with two twin beds and our kids were comfortable sleeping on futon mattresses on top of the tatami flooring. The front desk staff were all super friendly and spoke exceptional English. Great location for families, they had laundry facilities, games and a lounge area in the lobby and coffee in the morning.

Cons:

The roof space was fabulous but always occupied!

Great location, clean hotel with some Japanese style
Pros:

Location was fantastic. The shower was terrific. Staff were extremely friendly and communicated very well. Mattresses weren’t especially soft but we were still able to sleep well on them.

Cons:

The multiple levels in the room didn’t add much and just felt irritating. Didn’t like the Japanese style chairs on the ground and really just wanted someplace to sit.

5 star service and perfect location for the traveller & shopper!
Pros:

It was a wonderful hotel for our family. Perfectly styled with a mix between traditional and modern. The room was spacious, quiet and futon bedding made for the most comfortable sleep during our entire Japan holiday.
The shared kitchen area had everything needed, clean and stocked with tea and a coffee machine. Our family enjoyed the games and kid's corner as well as the rooftop chillout area in the evening. The washing machine & dryer was also so convenient and only cost us ¥300 for a full load.
Kyoto station, Avanti and Aeon malls close by within minutes by foot was an advantage (not so much for our luggage space)!
The deciding factor for us wanting to return again was the welcoming staff. Special mention to Lara and also Axe who looked after us and gave some great local recommendations including TeamLab Biovortex within easy walking distance. Thanks so much -- 5/5 stars!

Cons:

They've really thought of all the details, nothing we didn't like.

For those coming from Kyoto Station, exiting through the West Exit makes the walk to the hotel shorter.
Pros:

We were very satisfied with our stay. The room had a traditional Japanese house style and was spacious enough, especially compared to the hotels we stayed at in Tokyo and Osaka. The staff were friendly and very helpful.

Cons:

The only downside was the lack of a breakfast option.
