    “Comfortable and great cost performance”

    Its very affordable and so comfortable. Very friendly staffs and its common area are so comfortable to hang around. The area around the hostel is so safe and beautiful too with the river, shrine, and the bridges perfect especially on the summer. Bed in dormitory are quite comfortable and shower are good too. Its close to shichijo and kyoto station making it easy to wander around!

    “Happy stay”

    Travelled with a friend. Located nearby a bus stop, convenient store, and walking distance to the Kyoto city main public transport station. Clean room, with a big sofa to sit in after tired walking whole day. Toilet and bathroom are clean. We didn't mingle in the common area as we were busy visiting the area, but we did see the others socialising there. And slippers are provided at the hotel entrance. Do go visit the nearby onsen, walking distance from this hostel.

    “Good hostel but a little too mixed for my liking”

    This hostel is a bit of a walk from the station but not far . It has good amenities included like washer/dryer, kitchen , casual lobby area, and more. I didn't like that the bathroom was not seperate and it was usually too crowded. The staff are all very helpful and nice and it's clean for the most part. But don't know why they charge for basic stuff like a towel instead of providing it. The rooms are pretty cramped for an 8 person room so keep that in mind. I will say you meet some of the coolest people in this hostel

    Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you appreciated our facilities, welcoming staff, and the opportunity to connect with fellow travelers. We’re sorry to hear that the bathroom setup and room size weren’t quite to your liking. As for towels, we offer them as an optional rental so that guests who bring their own are not charged unnecessarily. Thank you again for staying with us. We hope you had a memorable time in Kyoto.
