Hostels in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

La ubicación es estupenda. Muy cerca del mercado de Nishiki. El personal es muy atento. Tuvimos un problema con la reserva y lo solucionaron en seguida. Los servicios son inmejorables. Tienen de todo! Podrías ir a pasar un fin de semanas allí y solo llevarte ropa para cambiarte. Te dan pijama, tienen cargadores, en el baño tienen de todo. El baño es un onsen así que tienes que bajar un piso para poder lavarte pero es parte de la experiencia. De hecho recomendaría tener esto en cuenta para planificar la visita y tener tiempo para disfrutar del onsen y luego darte un masaje en los sillones de masajes q hay en el piso 2. Hay agua gratis y cafés (creo porque no tomamos). Es un hotel ligeramente incómodo para ir con maleta grande pero nos dejan un candado a la puerta de tu cápsula. La cápsula en sí es cómoda y nada agobiante. Muy recomendable!

Checked in but was given a bed that was already taken, however they rectified it quickly and switched me to a female dorm instead of my previously booked mixed- dorm. Showers are clean and there is a common kitchen area on 2nd floor and lounge area on 1st floor. The location is near bus stops which can get you to the train station. The bunks are quite spacious with an area to place your baggage as well. Great for solo travellers. Do note that there is a ¥200 fee per night that you will need to pay upon check in.

The concept of this hostel is great - something better and more inclusive than a capsule hotel with large, comfortable beds. Pros: The common area and kitchen were really nice, and the free beer hour provided a great way to connect with other travelers. The common area has huge windows looking onto downtown Kyoto. The staff were all super friendly and helpful and spoke English. You are given a keycard for access to the bed floors and after hours. You need to reserve breakfast the day before, but it's right next to St Marcs Cafe which I thought was a great option, so IMO you don't need to use the hostel's breakfast. The showers were good, and I never saw them full despite a lot of people staying here at this time. The laundry machine seemed easy to use as well. The location in downtown Kyoto is obviously great and close to bus stops to reach popular temples on the east side. Cons: The only problem I faced was that the iPod to control my bed and lights rarely worked! The first night, I was unable to recline the bed into sleeping mode or turn off the lights, so staff had to come reset something on top of the pod to get it to connect. It stopped working again after that, and I could not turn the lights on in the morning. I also did not get to use the special wake-up features. Because my stay was only a few days and I wasn't spending leisure time in the pod, I decided to just deal with the unlit pod. Also, I was the only person who I spoke with who had this issue. But the hotel should improve the engineering of the iPod controllers or provide backup physical controls on the side. This wasn't an issue for me, but my medium-sized suitcase would not fit in the pull-out luggage rack under the bed. I had to keep the suitcase closed and on its side between the luggage rack and the screen. I don't think that travelers with large suitcases would be able to fit them in the pod, you'd probably have to find an empty corner in the hallway. Overall, I would recommend staying here, just hope you aren't the unlucky one who gets assigned to a broken pod.

Been here once in 2015 during my solo trip. After staying here , I feel that I must bring my family here someday. And I did! My family of 5, 2 A and 3C aged 13,10&9 stayed in the Japanese style room from 09-11 June. It's off peak timing so not many ppl are staying here. We get to enjoy the peace and quiet. What's good abt this hostel ? Cleanliness is at its best. The shared bathroom, toilets areas are in top notch cleanliness. You can't find in other youth hostel. The communal onsen area is well maintained and clean. Everyone who use the area has the responsibility to keep it clean and tidy. And am glad that everyone is doing it well. Everyday between 10am to 3pm, u cannot stay in your room as the staff has to clean your room. Common area: kitchen and living area is shared and very cosy place for us to hang around. U can rent games like Uno, jenga from the front desk for free to play with your family. There is also an outdoor balcony area where u can just sit there and enjoy the breeze. The whole compound is at a residential area. So it's serene , peaceful and quiet. A very zen place. I was originally afraid that my kids who are city kids would be bored here... But they actually loved it. Especially making their own cup noodles dinner at the kitchen. There is no TV at the room we stayed , so we went to the kitchen area to watch TV and snack. Like all other YHA, u will be given bedsheets and pillowcase to make your bed and have to return them back to the front desk upon check out. The nearest JR station is abt 5-7mins drive away. It's so nice to come back again.

A new shape capsule hotel with tourist specifications The image of a capsule hotel was that an uncle who couldn't return by train because he drank it was staying, but TSUKIMI HOTEL has free space and can cook. Therefore, it was the perfect accommodation for backpackers. The staff were all cheerful and responsive and I felt good. This was a matter of luck, but the only drawback was that the next customer snored badly, but I escaped the difficulty because there was an earplug in the amenities.

Fabulous location, close to the main station. Easy to find, and lots inclusions in a bargain price. Lovely outdoor terraces on the ground floor (smokers) and 3rd floor. Washing machines and dryers on site, with the bonus that you don't need to provide your own detergent, at a VERY reasonable price. Immaculately clean, friendly staff who aren't afraid to speak English, and the rooms are very well-appointed. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm, which was comfortable, spacious and there is even an option to choose your own pillow, so that you can be extra comfy.

This is a guest house near Gion. The bed in the dormitory was small, but we had no problems. The water areas such as the toilet and bath are neat and clean. There is a bit of noise, probably because there is a snack bar with karaoke nearby.

It’s right next to Umekoji Kyoto West Station. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to Kyoto Station. Originally, I decided to visit the Kyoto Railway Museum, but the museum was closed because of a holiday at the end of the year (crying~). Arrived in Kyoto early, the front desk staff helped me store my luggage in advance. The employees are all young, so they feel very close. The first floor is equipped with a computer and sofa, and the top floor has a kitchen and a place to eat and chat. The foreign boss (I heard it was an Egyptian) seemed to live there too, and had a face-to-face meeting.

It feels very warm, the facilities are perfect, everything is complete, the breakfast is a bit monotonous, but the free one is also very good ~ the most important thing is that it is fully equipped and clean

2nd time this time. Anyway, it's calm, clean and convenient. I recommend that you stay overnight. There is a mini kitchen in the room, so you can cook simple meals. Cooking utensils and seasonings can be borrowed freely in the kitchen next to the front desk, so there is no other convenient hotel like this. Even if you eat around and think you don't need dinner, if you're hungry in the middle of the night. You can buy ingredients at a nearby supermarket and make a lot of soup. For those who are not satisfied with instant ramen, please try it. I think that it is also good for lodging for students taking exams. Three people can stay in a Japanese-style room, so it is also suitable for accompanying family members. It was very quiet, bright, and more convenient and comfortable than I expected. Only part of the scenery can be seen from the window, and the point is lowered because it is not located at the front desk, but other than that, there is no problem. When I contacted them when I was in trouble, I got a reply immediately. Recommended.
