Kyoto Hostels

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.

The location is very good - ten minutes walk from the train station. A bonus is its proximity to Higashi Honganji temple and its detached garden Shosei-en. The hostel itself is very well set up and very well run. The facilities are excellent - the kitchen is as good as any I have come across in a hostel in Japan. The bunk beds are comfortable. The lack of privacy curtains was not a problem in my stay, but with less considerate room mates it could be. The showers are very good: plenty of pressure and good temperature control. The common/dining room is spacious and comfortable but I found the piped 'cafe music' from morning to night there irritating. The desk staff were all helpful and competent, and spoke good English. The cleaning staff worked hard to keep the hostel clean, and it was reassuring to see them going around disinfecting surfaces in view of the current coronavirus epidemic. No fault of the Kyoto hostel, but booking on the K's house website is unnecessarily complicated. I found it preferable to pay more for the ease of booking.com than wrestle with K's House booking process to take advantage of their 'secret deals' (loyalty discounts).

・Near the bus stop. There are also two convenience stores nearby.・You can stay in an old folk house. My parents' house is almost the same age as this house, so I was immersed in a nostalgic feeling.・Tourist information is posted in various places, so it's fun to take a look. I participated in the morning service of Nishi Honganji because it was recommended.・You can stay without meeting the staff. I stayed overnight without seeing anyone.・There was a kotatsu in the private room. It helped that my legs were cold.・There was a sanitary box in the dressing room. ・I was surprised when I received a phone call from my cell phone number. I'm very cautious, so I try not to answer suspicious phone numbers, so I'm surprised when I get a sudden call... Also, the staff who called me spoke too fast. I asked him to speak slowly, but it didn't work. I could barely hear ”Haruya”. I don't really know what you're talking about, so please calm down and speak slowly. I can't tell you anything.・When I heard that they were making rice porridge in the morning and went to see it, it was empty. I probably didn't do it because the pot was dry. It may not be done in this day and age, but if not, I would like an explanation.・There was a water tank, but it was empty. I wanted to drink water to take medicine. I can't judge whether it's not done in this day and age or I forgot to water. There were white streaks on the tank. Did you wash it?・Rent out the bath, fill it with hot water, and when you soak in the bath, you will be surprised to see the toothpaste float to the surface! You didn't clean it after the last time you used it. Please clean it... the charter fee was wasted...・The dressing room is very cold. It's an old private house, so the cold came directly. I want a simple heater. It was interesting and fun to make the room, but I felt that there were many problems in the details.

We stayed in the family suite. There were 2 beds and 3 floor mats. The beds were comfortable but the floor mats were so thin it was impossible to sleep comfortably as an adult. The room itself was very clean and had a really nice bathroom. However do not leave anything of any value in the room while you are away. We had something that was charging stolen from our room while we were out one day. We immediately noticed upon our return and alerted management. They assured us we would be compensated if they could not be found. That never happened and once we left the country, they completely changed their tone and refused to do anything. There is not a safe in the room so just take it all with you!

There was no xymi in a firm thick wooden bed, and the mattress was moderately soft and comfortable and had a good sleep time. In addition, the bottom of the mattress is tatami mats, and there is a cushion, so the hardness of the plate is not felt at all, and the size is about two tatami mats, and the cozy of the room is also the best. Gion kobashi and Yahanshin Sha shrine were also very close, and there were many restaurants and restaurants. The neighborhood is located in a quiet street in the old art town, so it is quiet and calm when you use the lounge or go to bed at midnight. The lounge also has tatami space, so you can really relax like you are in the inn. Towels and bath towels are also available for free, and amenities are also available in Shiseido, and if you have a real change of underwear, you can stay hanging. The location was good, so it was perfect for Kyoto sightseeing base.

Advantages: Located in the Kiyomizu area of Dongshan, five minutes to Kiyomizu Temple. Bus stop downstairs. Hygiene and clean. Warm service standard. Japanese style. The bathroom is very good and very scientific. Cons: Close to the road, a bit noisy. The front desk is on the second floor, above the Chinese restaurant.

What he said here can rent a bicycle. It turned out to be the kind of bicycle rented by the Kyoto municipal government. That kind of bicycle is not very good for Chinese people. I do n’t understand Japanese and I do n’t know how to open it! It's very convenient to live. The subway entrance is just as soon as the elevator comes. The room is quite quiet at night. There are not many people in the room. Everyone is conscious and careful ... the matching of the hotel. For the hardware of several hotels in Kyoto, this is not very good, but it is clean. Downstairs is Kamogawa, there is a bus stop, it is very convenient to go. However, it is a bit dark for a person to go back through Kamo at night, so pay attention to safety.

Very pleased with the level of care put into this hostel. All rooms are extremely clean, and the beds are comfortable and quiet. Despite the rooms holding up to around 15-20 people, it is extremely quiet and the bed pods are dark. Shower area was extremely clean and we were provided fresh towels every day. There is a comfortable sitting area with free coffee and access to Netflix. We had a very comfortable stay here and I would come back !
