Hostels in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

This hostel provides free bath and face towels, which was super convenient and comfortable for my three-day stay. Everything was great; the showers had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, and the toilet in the bathroom was clean and even heated. The smoking area is outdoors. When I came back in the evening, there were even guests playing Contra in the lobby. It was a very pleasant stay.

I wanted to stay in a traditional Japanese-style room typical of Kyoto, and I had a wonderful time. I was impressed by the earthen-floored kitchen. It was a comfortable stay in a charming old house. I used a private Japanese-style room on the second floor facing the shopping street. The Japanese furniture, such as the low table and clothes rack, was lovely and convenient. Although I could hear conversations from other rooms, everyone was well-mannered that day, and it became quiet after midnight, so I was able to sleep without any problems. The location is very convenient, right near Higashiyama Station. I stayed there for a concert held at the Rohm Theatre, and the convenient location made getting around very easy. They offer free porridge for breakfast, which I enjoyed. I think the rice is delicious, as it was very tasty even without adding anything. If I have the opportunity to stay again, I'll bring some dried sardines and kelp! I was very grateful that they allowed me to leave my luggage after check-out. There is only one shower room, so I used a nearby public bath. Coffee, tea, and green tea are available free of charge. You can make it by boiling water in the kettle. Towels, yukata (Japanese robes), and toothbrushes are available for a fee, so guests need to purchase them or bring their own. There are many delicious restaurants nearby, and I enjoyed trying various places like Shokudo Hayashiya, Marushin Hanten, and Kyoto Gion Bologna Coffee Shop. I would like to stay here again if I have the opportunity.

My experience was perfect. The front desk attendant was very helpful and kind. The room was exactly like in the photos. Good facilities and she let us leave our luggage until 4PM. I highly recommend this place. The best guesthouse I have stayed so far.

Initially, I was a bit confused because the photos on the website looked different, but after a 3-night stay, my conclusion is that I'd probably stay here again if the price is the same. Pros: * Location. * Everything is on one floor, so there's no stress of moving between different areas. In other capsule hotels, the front desk, beds, showers, and lockers are often in separate rooms or on different floors, requiring you to constantly carry your key around. If you forget something, you end up making multiple trips, which is a real hassle. * The bed is long, stretching along one wall, and the opposite side is a solid wall with no other beds, making it less likely to encounter other guests when getting in and out. * Earplugs were provided. * The facilities were kept clean. Cons: * It felt older than it appeared in the website photos. * One side of the wall is used for large luggage storage, which gives it a somewhat cluttered impression (though this doesn't matter once you're in bed). * Two large, usable refrigerators are available.

Very satisfied with my last stay, clean and comfortable This time, I felt that the dishwashing staff on the second floor were really busy. I didn't dare to stay for a long time. I felt like they were unhappy. They were like this at night and during the day when the food was being collected... I just happened to be in a good mood. Yeah..but it’s awesome even if the bowl is too loud and the cup is not broken👍

I really loved this place. It felt super cosy, I was looking to stay in a traditional Japanese house and this scratched the itch. Check-in is not too confusing, you just follow the instructions provided. Yukatas available to rent. My room was very clean, and I didn't have any problems with noise. Location is good, near two bus stops and a 15min walk from Kyoto Railway station. A highlight is the public bath nearby - highly recommend going!!!

The location not far from Kyoto Station was not bad and the neighborhood was quiet. The room was a good size to stay alone and the staff was friendly and nice! The bedding is clean but it seems that there is some dust in the room if it is not well ventilated. (If there is dust, it is left from the nose) The hanger jacket on the wall was missing, so I couldn't hang my clothes. I hope the shared washbasin and tea table are cleaned better! And it was a little bit like paying only one towel for four nights. If there are a few improvements, it seems to be the perfect hotel

Hostel combined with a cafe. 2nd floor is a large common room, often busy so you can easily meet people there. Beds are very comfortable, but bottom bunks lack headspace. Small amenities like toothbrushes, towels, etc. cost yen. While they are cheap, the principle of charging what every other hostel in Japan provides for free didn’t sit well with me.

A decent hostel with an excellent location near Gion in NE Kyoto, and very near to a station with direct trains to Osaka. The room was OK in size but very bare, only a double bed and tiny shelves for nightstands. It was a shame as you could easily fit a table/ chairs/ small wardrobe in here which would make it much easier for storing things instead of on the floor! Shared bathroom was OK, and only one shared shower for our floor, thankfully it was always free when we needed it. It was quite expensive for what it was so slightly disappointing, but I guess Kytoto is now a very expensive city to stay in.

The hostel is located in the historic district, meaning you can stroll the picturesque streets in the morning before the crowds get too crowded. The hostel itself is very cozy. We rented a private room (it's larger than in the photo), but a shared room would have been just as nice. The window in the private room doesn't open, but there's air conditioning. There are two toilets, a European-style shower, and a bathroom. There's a washer and dryer (coin-type). The kitchen has everything you need, plus tea and coffee, and it's generally a pleasant place to hang out. The guests are pleasant, with many Japanese staying there. The hostess is wonderful, very hospitable. Thank her so much. She can recommend places to go and make you some mincemeat. If I ever go to Kyoto again, I'd stay here, not in a shared room. This was probably the nicest place I stayed on my entire trip.
