The bunk beds give enough privacy and are big enough, toilets and showers are clean and modern. The Living room area is very comfortable and there is a little kitchen where you can actually cook nicely! I felt very cozy and at home during my stay!

I stayed here for three nights, super hostel! Location is convenient for travels via Kyoto station or railway. I visited most sights by a lot of walking, then it's more convenient to have a place to stay in the other side of the station. However this place has a lot of plusses to still go here: + Great beds, blankets: very clean! + Amazing living room on 1 st with nice couch, lot of space to chill and free coffee, tea, water. Downstairs is a even much nicer Cafe. + Great basic breakfast with toast, jam, egg, juice, coffee etc. All you need! + Helpful staff, lots of info on the nightborhood and places to eat. + Super clean toilets and (hot) showers. I would stay here again!
