My stay at The Junei Hotel Kyoto was a wonderful experience overall, but it wasn't without its hiccups. The attention to detail in the room decor and the quality of the bedding was impressive, making my sleep truly restful. However, the lack of accessible dining options nearby and some minor issues, like the surprise leak in my room, left a bit to be desired.

The spacious King Room felt more like a cozy suite with thoughtful features like a curtain to separate the bathing area and complimentary tea. However, some rooms lack windows, which can be a bummer for natural light.

Located on a quiet street near the river, the hotel is in an older neighborhood. While it offers a peaceful vibe, it's somewhat isolated from restaurants and shops, making it tricky for those wanting a quick meal nearby.

Breakfast was a culinary journey with delicious Japanese cuisine served in bento boxes. I appreciated the printed menu in English. However, the portions were quite hefty, and I found myself skipping breakfast one day. Dining at the hotel’s wagyu-focused restaurant was a highlight.
