K's house is international traveller friendly. It's a great option for those of us used to hostelling without struggling with Japanese. This means its chain of accommodation opens up easy accommodation in Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo, Takayama etc. As is with most things Japanese, you can expect high quality service, cleanliness and amentities here. Like most hostels, it provides only the... More

I love staying at the K's brand when travelling Japan because they offer cleanliness, good service and a modern backpacker feel. Good location with friendly staff members who speak English and go out of their way to get you to experience real Japan. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with clean bathrooms and good prices. Free WiFi and a cool... More

Stayed for 3 nights. The service is super friendly, the rooms are clean and comfy, great shower facilities and a nice bar next door. I stayed at more expensive 'business hotels' for 4 times the cost during my trip and I was really happy to return to K's - which says it all really.

About 10 mins walk from the JR Kyoto Station, it's not hard to find the K's house signboard with that striking yellow that is distinctive enough to be noticed from the rows of houses. Service provided from the staff was excellent with some knowing how to speak fluent English. We booked a private room with 3 beds and we didn't... More

K's House is located a short walk from Kyoto Station (which is a destination in itself); it is very clean, with the communal bathrooms scrubbed a couple times a day. The second-floor lounge has a coin-op laundry, and you have to rent towels. I stayed solo in a bunk bed room, and it was quite comfy. The bar is lively... More

K's house is about a 7 minute walk from the JR Kyoto station, which is also where the main bus stations are. This was our second time staying at K's (both times we had private rooms). This time we had our 1 year old with us, and it was great - it was the most comfortable bed we had the... More

The location for sightseeing around Kyoto is spot on. The hostel was really close to the train station which was handy when carrying all my bags. Upon check in I was greet nicely by the staff behind the desk. I was given loads of information before I went up to my room. My room was small but the bed was... More

I stayed in a twin bunk room at k's House in Kyoto for four nights. If you're not a fan of the shared unisex bathroom there is a public bathhouse a few minutes away. The facilities appeared to be cleaned regularly. The room was spacious and comfortable. There was a couch, tv, strong wifi and full length mirror. The location... More

I stayed in a double private room with an ensuite with my partner in April 2013. Our room was very clean & bigger than I was expecting, with a huge, comfortable double bed. The ensuite had a nice powerful shower with soap, shampoo & showergel provided. There were quite a few communal areas in the hostel, including a kitchen &... More
