The location was perfect and in a walking distance from many sightseeing places. It was very clean too. Only the rooms were unbelieably small.

We booked two rooms for our family of 4 to explore Kyoto. When we arrived we received a warm welcome and were able to leave our luggage locked in a secure location until check in time. We were offered free coffee, tea and water in the lobby. The rooms were sparkling clean. Yes, the rooms were small, but we believe that is typical in Japan. We are always more concerned about cleanliness anyway. And again, this place is spotless. We even had air purifiers in our rooms. Breakfast was great and plentiful. Lots of options (even western options). Subway was close (about a 6 min walk)for moving around Kyoto. The only somewhat downfall is that hotel isn’t as central as others in the area. However, the cleanliness of the room, great service and amazing breakfast made up for the location. We would definitely recommend the Imu Hotel in Kyoto. ![Street view of hotel](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3dfdc20f-e989-45a7-8517-308f1dd0ce83-1756740366954.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Example of one breakfast option](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/def499f2-7a12-45ff-83c7-badd3897aeca-1756740390923.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tod Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [Park Hyatt Kyoto](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-Park-Hyatt-Kyoto.h37609460.Hotel-Information) - [Homm Stay Nagi Shijo Kyoto By Banyan Group](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-NAGI-KYOTO-SHIJO.h22262839.Hotel-Information) - [Koko HOTEL Kyoto Sanjo](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Wing-International-Premium-Kyoto-Sanjo.h57122354.Hotel-Information) - [Momijiya Honkan Takao Sansou](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-Momiji-Ya-Honkan-Takaosansou.h15423458.Hotel-Information) - [Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St.](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Tsubaki-St.h46053153.Hotel-Information) - [Omo5 Kyoto Sanjo by Hoshino Resorts](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-OMO5-Kyoto-Sanjo-By-Hoshino-Resorts.h77089647.Hotel-Information) - [Yadoya Manjiro](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-Yadoya-Manjiro.h32106037.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Keihan Kyotoeki Minami](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Keihan-Kyotoeki-Minami.h39008598.Hotel-Information) - [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) - [Apa Hotel Kyoto Ekikita](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-APA-Hotel-Kyoto-Ekikita.h18661371.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Gion Misen](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Ethnography-Gion-Shinmonzen.h19071897.Hotel-Information) - [Grand Fine Kyoto Minami](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-Grand-Fine-Kyoto-Minami-Adults-Only.h5789665.Hotel-Information) - [Aoi Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-Aoi-HOTEL-KYOTO.h15895680.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Chourakukan](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Chourakukan.h92134358.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-FORZA-KYOTO-SHIJO-KAWARAMACHI.h65026979.Hotel-Information) - [Shijo Kawaramachi Onsen Soraniwa Terrace Kyoto](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-Shijo-Kawaramachi-Onsen-Soraniwa-Terrace-Kyoto.h111960262.Hotel-Information) - [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) - [Art Mon Zen Kyoto](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-ART-MON-ZEN-KYOTO.h21192240.Hotel-Information) - [Guest House Hannari](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-Guest-House-Hannari.h4714220.Hotel-Information) - [Rc Hotel Kyoto Yasaka](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Hotels-RC-HOTEL-KYOTO-YASAKA.h20361658.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Kyoto](https://www.expedia.com/Cheap-Flights-To-Kyoto.d6131486.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Kyoto Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto.d6131486.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Kyoto](https://www.expedia.com/Car-Rentals-In-Kyoto.d6131486.Car-Rental-Guide) - [Kyoto Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Kyoto-Vacation-Rentals.d6131486.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals) - [Things to do in Kyoto](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Kyoto.d6131486.Travel-Guide-Activities)
