Free breakfast bonus. Clean shower & toilet facilities. Staff friendly and always readily available to help. Free storage luggage.
David, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property is located a short walk from the station, and is fully air conditioned. It advertises a “full breakfast” but in reality it’s just bread and jams, not a full continental breakfast, so be careful of that. You’re provided with a fairly large lock box for your valuables and the bedding is very soft.

Great place!
Great place. Quiet surroundings, but still close to transportation! Comfortable beds, didn’t use the common area so know nothing about them. The people working in the reception was so nice!

10/10 Exceptional

This hostel beats any hotel/ hostel I’ve stayed it. It is well worth the value. Lockers are spacious, staff is friendly and hard working, the amenities like breakfast, towels, slippers and laundry are a great touch. beds are spacious and comfy and I like that there was a designated smoking area on the premises. The only thing is the internet is a bit wonky but overall amazing stay!
Ira, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a family of 4 stay in a room with a double bunk bed and it had a small table in the room. Each bed had outlets close by and adequate space. Clothes hanging rack was nice to hang rain coats to dry off. 2nd floor common eating area was nice to have a place to eat and store food. Small market across the street for easy access for purchases. Very close to train station for walking and large shopping area within a mile.

10/10 Exceptional

Very foreigner friendly. The front desk speaks English and they are able to accommodate any issue you may have. Their breakfast is delicious bread! They wash the dishes so you put them in the sink afterwards. The location is perfect too, everything is within a decent train ride distance. Overall, I would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

6/10 Good

nothing particularly wrong with the place but the other people were super noisy every night between 12am-7am people are still constantly coming in and out of room the door is loud, and people unziping suitcases, and turning lights on. Quiet hour was supposed to start after 11pm was not the case.

Close to Kyoto station - good clean hostel
First time staying in a hostel and I was very pleasantly surprised. I booked a room for four adults with a private bathroom. It was very clean and quite comfortable. We only needed a bed for one night so worked out good. Not to get from Kyoto station - we walked to the hotel.
Parm, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The lady at the front desk was professional but not the young man. He didn't seem to want to give bus or train infos. Breakfast is just toast and marmelade. Coffee is the instant one with hot water. It would have been nice if the hotel could put a note saying that the guests must ooen and closr their luggage outside the room and not to shut the door.... I stayed awake until 1am because these 2 nutt bubble heads kept fixing their luggages and going in and out the room until very late. Just 4 mixed showers and 3 toilets for tge whole floor.
Annie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is located at Gozo Station, one stop away from Kyoto Station by the subway Karasuma Line, and takes about 15 minutes on foot. On the day of check-in, I went to leave my luggage, but the staff did not came out even after waiting for a while, so I had to return to Kyoto Station and use the coin locker. However, when I came back in the evening, the staff was very kind, and the facilities were generally clean. But because the room is small, I can't pass by if someone is organizing their luggage. and the lounge is not that spacious, so there are not enough seats in the morning or evening to night. Bread and jam are served for breakfast.

Sejour correct.
Staff adorable. Proprete impeccable. Lit confortable. Serviettes de bain changées tous les jours. Les boxs ne sont pas du tout isolés les uns des autres. La lumière du box voisin m'a géné quelques nuits. Idem si le voisin ronfle fort. Il manque aussi une étagère dans le box.
