Hotel Imagine Kyoto

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.

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!

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.
