We stayed for 4 nights in a 8 bed dorm (¥2500 a bed a night). The first night other sleepers were opening our curtains. Because every bed has curtains for privacy. Then the next morning one member of the staff opened the curtain... Really weird night. But that was the only downside. The common space is big and you have... More

J-hoppers definitely living it up to its reviews! Stayed for 6 nights in female dorm. Really big bunk beds with medium-sized lockers in the room itself. Cleanliness was top-notch and the distance for bus stop and kyoto station fairly nearby. Staff were helpful in pointing us in the right directions. Overall, very good stay!

I've stayed in hostels in different countries and I gotta say, Japan has the most spacious and cleanest hostels ever! I stayed at this hostel for one night only and I really don't have any complaints. I was in a 6 mixed bunk room and was lucky enough to snag a big corner bunk. There's privacy curtains, bed light, a... More

I stayed just one night but the place was wonderful. Great services, soap and shampoo included, wifi and free internet, towels if needed... all this for the right price. Very clean and spacious. Personnel was lovely and polite. Only drawback is that there is no elevator but is a 5/storey building. If you have no issues with carrying around heavy... More

The hostel is located in a decent location as it is close to Kyoto station (10min walk) and very near to a seven-eleven convenience store. No elevator, so it can be a little difficult with large suitcases. The dorms were decent as they were provided sufficient space. However, the layout of sink and wash area on the 3rd floor is... More

Friends and I stayed here for two nights. The staff were friendly and the hostel was in quite a good location. We were able to hire bikes for the day from the hostel which was good, we were able to do a lot of sightseeing. There is no lift in the hostel- the staff did take our bags up to... More

Helpful, friendly staff that speak English really well. Well equipped kitchen facilities and overall good hygiene. Noe a perfect location, but close to metro and within walking distance of Kyoto station (main hub of public communication)

Stayed there with my friend. We didn't get the ryokan style, so we stayed in bunk-bed room. We got the tatami flooring though! The staff was really nice, she carried my luggage to our room in 4th floor even though I told her I would go down and take it upstairs after I carried the linen and blanket! Bathroom and... More

Really enjoyed my stay here. Location is good, you are walking distance from the station and a few tourist sites. Some good places to eat and drink nearby. Hostel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. When I stayed it was very busy and I could only stay two nights but the staff called around all the local hostels and secured... More
