We spent 05 nights in Imagine Hotel Kyoto from 21 to 26 Dec 2025. A cozy and warm space near the Grand Kyoto Station and Avanti Kyoto Shopping Mall. Great Hotel crew especially Axe helping us with our queries. The shared lounge is amazing where we cooked our breakfast there daily. The owner himself met us on our 2nd day, and wish us to have a great stay in his hotel. Overall a very nice place for family, which include my wife and 03 kids (age 13 to 17). Definitely will stay here again when we travel to Kyoto. Highly recommended.

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

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.

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!

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.

Perfect for families

Very nice place to experience a Japanese style kind of living environment. Place is spacious too! Futons perfect for kids to sleep on. Very close to the train and bus stations! Highly recommend. Will love to come back to this hotel again.

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!

Great hotel, conveniently close to Kyoto Station and Kujo station on the subway. Lots of restaurants around but it was quiet at night in the room. A Welcoming lobby with lots of thought gone into providing guests with things they might need and some kitchen facilities. Loved the loan of the kimono/dressing gowns. The room was spacious. My one complaint are the terrible pillows which are like bean bags! That’s why I’m giving it 4 stars not 5. If you can’t have a good night’s sleep because of terrible pillows, it sort of ruins your day so it’s quite a big deal for hotels to be thinking about getting right.

Good for family, but some fixture needed to be fix

Overall it's clean, and staff is friendly. But some of the facility are broke and non fixed. such as some shelf, and the sofa rolling down handle in the middle (with nail head seen after rolling down)

Hotel Imagine is so unique, exhibiting the owner's passion for detail. The room fit our family of four very comfortably and we loved the shower/ofuro which I enjoyed every night after a long day of walking and sightseeing! While there was no breakfast included, there is a full-service kitchen with great amenities. We made our breakfeast every morning and the coffee machine was wonderful! There was also a very nice upstairs deck which we were not able to enjoy since we were out sightseeing during the day and too tired to use during the night. We will definitely stay at Hotel Imagine again!

From California with love..

Aside from being a beautiful hotel, the staff and owner went above and beyond our expectations of hospitality. They were able to resolve issues (not created by them) and also very helpful with suggestions of places to visit and places to eat. The location of the hotel was very convenient since it’s close to the Kyoto station. Thank you again to the owner and amazing hotel staff, you made our Kyoto trip unforgettable!

AMAZING hotel - definitely stay here!!!

AMAZING stay at Hotel Imagine. Seriously loved everything about our stay. We had a family of 6 in the Deluxe Twin Room for 5 nights and it worked out great.

The design of the hotel is top notch - everything has been throught through.

The shared kitchen is FULLY kitted out with everything you need to cook. We cooked breakfast each morning - eggs, dumplings, etc. There's a decent grocery in Kyoto Station to make it easy to stock up on groceries.

The rooftop is a lovely extra space and we used it every evening.

Hotel staff is very friendly. The room is very spacious and we love the villa concept. Enjoyed the tatami and the bath tub. They have a common dining area for hotel guests to use and there are toys to borrow / bring up to the rooms. Highly recommend this place!

Clean, with a blend of modern and traditional

A new hotel, it was quite clean and bright. It's a bit unique in that it also has more informal aspects - like a common kitchenette and laundry facilities (although the washing machine and dryer are not the best). It's centrally located, within minutes walking distance to a major train station.

No reward nights earned, cancelled Hotels.com svc!

Front desk male officer was sensitive when we nicely enquired what was the additional ¥800 tax which we mentioned that we didn't see on the app. We perfectly understood later on that there is a ¥200/head tourism tax in Kyoto & were fine with that so long as we know what we're paying for. We even thanked him for explaining the tax & apologised for the trouble.

However on the same night, when we tried to use Hotels.com app to extend another night, front desk advised that they have closed their Hotels.com service. We explained that we would have booked nearer to Kyoto station with other apps but because we're traveling many days in Japan & want to earn reward nights therefore we went for this Hotel Imagine under Hotels.com. Ends up we didn't even earn a single reward night with Hotels.com with our 2N stay at Hotel Imagine! Normally if there's no reward night to be earned, the app will clearly state so but not in the case for Hotel Imagine!
We were also charged ¥1080 for misplacing a hotel card.

First impression with the front desk male officer when we first arrived at Hotel.Imagine was already somewhat negative as he wasn't courteous in asking us to wait for our turn though we were friendly & stood approx 1m away from the customers ahead of us. We feel brushed off with his tone & hand gestures.

Their petite female officer was much nicer, courteous, service oriented & patient. We appreciated her assistance in our 2nd night booking & call for an MPV taxi.

Excellent service & stay!

We had an enjoyable honeymoon stay! They set up our room prior to our check in, and the room is spacious and comfortable. We had to extend our stay due to the typhoon and they have been nothing but helpful! We are so thankful for their wonderful service and it’s a lovely stay! Oh and it’s a great location, just minutes from Kyoto station and a nearby Lawson’s.
