Very sweet woman working here and speaking with all the costumers, very friendly ambience, it's an easy place to make friends in the shared tatami space. I really enjoyed my stay, it's close to the station, multiple bus stops and in the city center. The place is very tidy, confortable and nice warm shower with towels and shampoo provided. Everyone is respectful and I could also take an afternoon nap in confortable warm bed. There's a nice clean kitchen you can use and fridge yo put your food. Thank you!

Lovely hostel in a beautiful building - inside and out. Location was convenient, close to Kyoto Station and every attraction was easily reachable by public transport. While the room itself wasn't big the bed was spacious and comfortable with a shelf. The other facilities were great as well, there were several showers and toilets on the floor - all clean and well equipped, same with the kitchen downstairs. Bonus that there was a wonderful sento closeby. Overall I had an amazing stay, really enjoyed it!

Josien

From

Netherlands

Loved this place. Good vibe, friendly staff, and a kitchen where you can cook. It’s in a quite peaceful area. It’s about half an hour walk to the main places, which can be a bit far if you just want to go quickly go out. But it’s close to a train station. All in all I loved this place and will come back to stay a bit longer in Kyoto if I can.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
