I've made a few friends here at Jalan Do hostel and I enjoyed my stay! PROS - Good capsule concept which adds a layer of privacy on top of the regular dorm experience - You are assigned your personal capsule with a key to access 2 lockers: 1 big one to stow your luggage underneath the beds (luggages above 24"...

I normally never stay in hostels/guesthouses as they tend to be dirty and lack privacy. But I was booking a last minute concert trip to Kyoto for 1 night and the hotels under 10,000yen were all booked. This looked alright and I figured the capsule style room would be better than an open dorm. The place was new, clean and... More

The best accommodation during my trip. Friendly staff, great value, great facilities, good location. The sleeping pods are the best form of dormitory accommodation; they should be adopted worldwide! However, I heard that they may be closing down, which would be a terrible shame. I sincerely hope that they stay open as I would love to come again.

The best thing about my stay here is how clean everything is. It looks very new! The price is also very affordable, which is why I chose to stay in this place. It is a 5 minute walk away from the Nishiki market where you can grab a bite of Kyoto's best delicacies. It is also very close to Gogyo,... More

This hotel is quite central. Located in the heart of Kyoto's shopping district. You will find almost everything you need around. The metro station is 5 minutes away, and there are plenty of restaurants around. The sleep boxes are quite spacious and comfortable. The only downside (and this have nothing to do with the hotel) is that you might encounter... More

Situated among the Nishiki market and covered shopping streets like Teramachi, and a very easy walk to anything you want to find on Sanjo, Shijo, or Kawaramachi (including areas like Pontocho and Gion), it was highly convenient--and thankfully the street it faces is not as busy. Unfortunately the first night one of the showers broke and there was some flooding,... More

Conveniently located near most bus routes, and Nishiki Market. Extremely clean facilities, incredibly nice and helpful staff. Slept in a top bunk, would have preferred a bottom, but it was very nice, large space with a light and outlet. Was on the 2nd floor, mens facilities were on the 3rd which was only a little bit annoying. Would most definitely... More

This was my best stay in Japan. The hostel is located right next to the food market, 15 minutes walk from Shijo metro station. It was a little hard to find.
