Very helpful staff rooms are very clean and there is a nice sitting area in the lobby that serves food and drinks. The neighborhood is full of interesting little restaurants and it is not far from many of the major attractions. The hotel is a great value for the price.

Lovely relaxed and friendly vibe at this compact, well-located hotel. Easy access from Shiju station. Lots of dining options nearby, and good food at the hotel. The free sake tasting and happy hour prices were a bonus. Families with children seemed welcomed and catered for.

Friendly place close to Shijo subway. Breakfasts were nice, rooms a little hot and small, would be good if you could open windows. Communal area really hip and food and cocktails were good value. Would recommend

Amazing hotel with really good amenities and really friendly staff. Free sake in the lobby for hotel guests too! It's a bit further out from Gion, but it makes up for it being really close to a train station and with really nice little restaurants and cafes in the side streets nearby. For what we paid, I highly recommend staying here.

Best hotel I stayed! Lovely breakfast choice! Room is reasonable side in Japan standard! Walking distance to public transit. The only thing was the breakfast area has a strong smell from cooking but hotel provides refresher!

Great nice stay.
This hotel is great. Internal decor and space design and allocation in the room is very good, making the best use of the space. The condition of the hotel is new. Breakfast is well presented. The staff are also very hospitable and genuinely pleasant. They are also good in English. Good location as well.

Superb hotel in great location
We loved Imu Hotel. The staff were fantastic - very friendly and helpful. The room wasn't a bad size and the bathroom was well equipped and clean. The futons were the most comfortable that we had during our stay in Japan. Breakfast was delicious - a choice of 4 different breakfast dishes each day and they were all great. Location was excellent - we were able to walk everywhere and there are some nice restaurants and bars near the hotel. Couldn't fault this hotel!

Hotel is convenient and nice to stay
This hotel is convenient and nice to stay. There are a coffee machine and tea counter as well as cold water machine for you. But in the morning there is not enough hot water for you especial in the winter time now. The tatami room is clean but it's a bit small. Toilet was clean.

清潔でモダンなお部屋
ダブルのシングルユースで利用しました。 オープンしたばかりのとても綺麗で広々としたお部屋で大満足です。 料金が抑えられているので、致し方ないのかもしれませんが、 スリッパとパジャマが備え付けでなかったのは少々不便でした。 それを差し引いても、気持ちの良い時間が過ごせました。 スタッフの皆さんも、皆さん明るく接してくださいました。 また機会があれば、利用させていただきたいと思います。
