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!

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!
