10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic hotel and a great way to experience Japanese living. Not quite what I would call a full ryokan, our room fortunately had it's own bathroom and tub, while still having the tatami matt floor and futons. The tub was a deep soaker and set up to provide a private onsen experience. We really enjoyed our stay

Great location, friendly staff, food options near hotel, shopping area, and the main Kyoto train station is nearby. The rooms are clean, spacious, and have a touch of traditional Japanese theme!

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.

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!

8/10 Very good

The room is a little small for 5 people. The room is nice the only thing is the bathroom is sooooo hot you are sweating while in the bathroom. The tatami mats are ok. The location is great. Just minutes walk to Kyoto station. Tons of food options. The staff is soo nice.

Gathering in Kyoto

The hotel is very unique. Speaking to the owner, he has a. Vision for community within his hotel and provides at least two spaces where guests can gather. There is a “living room” space with a large table and kitchen appliances for simple food prep and coffee and the Sora Skydeck (rooftop) lounge for relaxing under the stars. The room was able to accommodate our party of four comfortably and very clean. Staff is friendly. Great stay!
Robert, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved this property. Has a chill vibe with a beetles theme and cool music playing, very kid friendly, story books, art supplies, origami, a shop inside the lobby, room sizes are huge can sleep up to 6 the futons were super comfortable, the bathroom is so fancy and luxurious, owner was very nice, laundry facilities are so clean. Loved all the amenities available and free yukata to wear during stay. Has a vending machine and kitchen in lobby. Very close to Kyoto station. And the cutest rooftop terrace to chill has stage and cute fairy lights qnd a stage. Only 4 levels so not so crowded.

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly and polite staff. Nice lobby with a family feel, including a small pantry. Roof floor is nice gathering place if weather is not too hot nor raining outside. Be cautious that hot water will stop if it's used more than 60 mins continuously. So stop hot water in bathroom right after use.
