Summary: Friendly staff; good location; chilled vibes. Beds had the essentials - personal light, curtain and electrical sockets; with a bit of extra space for storage. Traditional thin Japanese mattress but I found it comfortable enough. Good shower. All in all an excellent value hostel - the only improvement that could be made would be a better pillow as it was practically as thin as a piece of paper

Summary: Traditional and beautiful Japanese style guesthouse, which was more than I expected. The place was extremely clean and the beds/mats were suprisingly very comfortable. As people have pointed out, this place is small but I didn't see it as a problem. They provide tea and coffee, towels, shampoo etc. Only con of this place would be the fact that there's no airconditioner in the dormitory. How ever, the dormitory area is connected to a balcony which has an AC and a fan. They usually opened the balcony door and turned the AC on at bed time, so the dormitory wasn't too hot at all (even though it got pretty hot during the day). This is something you should consider if you're traveling Japan during the hottest season (I was traveling in the end if June). Over all I had a very good stay!

Summary: Staff are nice and helpful. Place is slightly grotty. Location is almost unbeatable as it accesses to everything and everywhere in a matter of 8-minute walk to reach a bus or Hankyu Railway.

Summary: Nice little hostel. Situated in a great part of central Kyoto. It was a short walk to multiple train stations, tons of shopping and places to eat.

Summary: Although the hotel is a little old and rough around the edges, the location, staff and basic facilities make everything worth it. I would recommend any who would be going to Kyoto to stay here for its friendly atmosphere and excellent staff.

Summary: The host of hotel is nice. It is suitable for teenager to stay. The tidy of room is ok, but one of the bed sheet got a bit wet. Other area is fine and the price is economic and near train station.
