    Standard Single Room
    Stayed 1 night in August 2026

    “I was able to spend time very comfortably.”

    I found this place because I wanted to keep it inexpensive and close to the station. It was within walking distance from Kyoto Station, and the room was clean with a big bed, allowing me to sleep soundly. For a training business trip, if you just need a place to shower and get some rest, the conditions were more than sufficient. I appreciated that the reception was available even after 9 PM. I would like to use it again.

    “Overall, it's a very good and stable hostel!”

    I didn't have any concerns about the facilities at the hostel except for the peeling of the non-stick coating on all the frying pans! LOL There are three refrigerators, three induction cookers, and a laundry that allows washing and drying for 500 yen. The living room is quite spacious, and on the rooftop, which offers a general view of Kyoto, there are two tables and six chairs. The slippers are free, and a bath towel is reasonably priced at 100 yen. It's also great that you can easily store your luggage, and using the shower after checkout is available for 300 yen. I think a lot depends on the other guests as well.

    “Kyoto Station is close by, and it’s easy to access various directions!”

    Good cost performance. Bad frying pan. Good shower and toilet, good loaned slippers, good three refrigerators. Good bath towel for 100 yen. Unhygienic Japanese and foreign users are bad!

    “The only thing I'm concerned about is the frying pan! LOL”

    The living room is spacious and has a balcony right next to it. The kitchen is equipped with three refrigerators and three induction cooktops. There is a coin laundry that allows you to use the washing machine and dryer together for 500 yen, and there is also a roof balcony. Overall, it is a hostel with reliable management and excellent cost performance!

    “The location, staff, and users are all good.”

    Within a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station. Thanks to the long hours that the staff are present and the clear signage for users, cleanliness was well maintained. The staff recommended some sightseeing spots, and the conversation was lively. I would like to use it again.
