It’s close to every thing and walkable. It’s very close to the market which is good. The host is very nice. The house is all shared space. Cons- is that if you are someone who is a light sleeper is not for you ( but everyone are respectful in terms of noise/quite time) also its a shared bathroom meaning you have to time when you are going to take a shower. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aac43471-4ece-4187-a937-c3dc46fd27cc-1766986734877.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/51825156-71b9-4eae-bbc3-db172251edc2-1766986735470.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a55db30f-5003-49c3-98a0-6989cc23b256-1766986735898.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### sarah Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### soraya 3 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location and great staff ##### soraya Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### sherwin 14 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotelnis very cozy 😁 ##### sherwin Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam 7 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved this place ##### Adam Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 1 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Friendly staff; good location; chilled vibes.

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! ##### Estella Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amata 23 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Très mignon Petite chambre plutôt traditionnelle, très confortable.

My only grouses are that without heating, the beds are too cold and if you go, pick the upstairs bed rather than the beds below because the beds above creak badly and disturb the person below a lot. Otherwise the bedding is very comfortable. For the price of the dormitory beds though, it’s a good choice but not so comfortable in the winter. ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### なすのよいち 12 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 従業員の方はとても丁寧に対応してくれます。とにかく、京都市内のほぼ中心にあたる烏丸御池駅から近いことは、様々なところに行くのに便がいいです。 ##### なすのよいち Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 31 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 家族で宿泊でしたが、快適に過ごせる環境でした。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jihyun 30 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 좋았습니다! 밤에 잘 때 조금 춥고 방음이 안 되기는 하지만 안락하고 좋습니다. 다시 가고 싶어요 :) ##### Jihyun Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Grand Bach Kyoto Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Grand-Bach-Kyoto-Select.h8076320.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-THE-CELESTINE-KYOTO-GION.h17857390.Hotel-Information) > > [Ryokufuso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ryokufuso.h11899943.Hotel-Information) > > [TASSEL HOTEL Sanjo Shirakawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TASSEL-HOTEL-SANJYO-SHIRAKAWA.h40139654.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The M’s Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-The-Ms-Kyoto.h61628354.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel ZIZI Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Zizi.h37754813.Hotel-Information) > > [Nazuna Kyoto Tsubaki St.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Nazuna-Kyoto-Tsubaki-St.h46053153.Hotel-Information) > > [Yuzuya Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Yuzuya-Ryokan.h20931679.Hotel-Information) > > [SOWAKA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel-SOWAKA.h27267482.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > > [RESI STAY HEART](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RESI-STAY-Cotorune-KYOTO.h34114019.Hotel-Information) > > [KYOTO GRANBELL HOTEL hanareya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoutoguranberuhoteru-Hanareya.h72398371.Hotel-Information) > > [APA Hotel Kyoto Gojo Omiya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-APA-Hotel-Kyoto-Gojo-Omiya.h104888086.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pocket Hotel Kyoto-karasumagojo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-POCKET-HOTEL-KYOTO-KARASUMAGOJO.h51643765.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shijo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Shijo.h3806437.Hotel-Information) > > [M’s Hotel Sanjo Omiya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ms-INN-SANJO-OMIYA.h39604744.Hotel-Information) > > [THE MACHIYA Kamiumeya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-MACHIYA-Kamiumeya.h29070851.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Twin Hotel Kyoto Hachijoguchi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Royal-Twin-Hotel-Kyoto.h41924656.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Glad One Kyoto Shichijo by M’s](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-GLAD-ONE-KYOTO-SHICHIJO.h19563862.Hotel-Information) > > [RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-RIHGA-Royal-Hotel-Kyoto.h178521.Hotel-Information) > > [Hiyori Stay Kyoto Kamogawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Suite-Kyoto-Kamogawa-Shomen.h100205202.Hotel-Information) > > [Yadoya Kikokuso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Yadoya-Kikokuso.h43888011.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [MONday Apart Premium KYOTO Station ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-MONdayApartPremium-KyotoShichijoHorikawa.h72965339.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Kawaramachi-Jokyoji.h54176990.Hotel-Information) > > [Kyoto Machiya Zeniyacho](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kiraku-Kyoto-Zeniyacho.h42077450.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mitsui-Garden-Hotel-Kyoto-Station.h33777060.Hotel-Information) > > [THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-THE-HOTEL-HIGASHIYAMA-By-KyotoTokyuHotel.h71549946.Hotel-Information) ---
