We had a private room so didn't feel like a hostel, other than the shared bathroom. Almost felt more like a pod hotel, with private rooms. Great showers and bathrooms, and cool kitchen and lounge area. The bunk beds were great with privacy curtains. Only "complaint" is there is no water dispenser to fill up your water for the day, or breakfast. ##### Sarah Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dennis 2 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities You get a no thrills clean experience that is dirt cheap relatively ##### Dennis Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Manabu 13 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was great!

Great hostel facilities, clean, spacious, comfortable, with all the necessities well looked after, and completely functional. The guests were all very respectable and there are no unnecessary frills. Would much rather stay here than any chain business hotel. One note is that I'm a sento/onsen addict, and although there aren't any on premises, there are a few nearby in the neighbourhood -- great way to get to know the vibe of the area! ##### Kane Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Yui 5 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities 泊まれませんでした。 お金だけ取られました。 ##### Yui Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yonatan 17 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Edificación nueva, todo muy limpio e impecable, cocina para preparar desayunos con todos lo accesorios necesarios y habitaciones muy cómodas. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ca98a222-4b54-46fa-9054-49f5ab48194f-1755416760893.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2e720f38-c729-4f0d-9076-7e5a6bcdb61e-1755416761037.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Yonatan Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diara 19 Jul 2025 ##### Diara Stayed 16 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### ryou 14 Jul 2025 ##### ryou Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Hiromi 11 Jul 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities 以前の同じ施設を利用していたが、再オープン後はスタッフのクオリティとサービス，施設の活用範囲が下がっていた。 シャワールーム、クリーニングルーム，トイレ、共有スペース、いずれも設備のメンテナンスやどのように使うかの意識が低くなってしまったのが残念でした。 ##### Hiromi Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gaetan Stephan 22 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Gute günstige Option wenn man ein Einzelzimmer braucht ##### Gaetan Stephan Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shuya 8 Jun 2025 ##### Shuya Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kiyosumi 8 Jun 2025 ##### kiyosumi Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jasmijn 12 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Jasmijn ### 8/10 Good #### Petter 21 Mar 2025 ##### Petter Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### tomoyo 7 Mar 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### tomoyo Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Kanra Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Kanra-Kyoto.h4290390.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-HOTEL-THE-CELESTINE-KYOTO-GION.h17857390.Hotel-Information) > > [KOKO HOTEL Kyoto Shijo Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Wing-International-Kyoto-Shijo-Karasuma.h25174226.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel tou nishinotoin kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Tou-Nishinotoin-Kyoto.h57158032.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Hotel-Seiryu-Kyoto-Kiyomizu.h44931128.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Granvia Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Granvia-Kyoto.h444770.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Gion Misen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Ethnography-Gion-Shinmonzen.h19071897.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Miyako Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-The-Westin-Miyako-Kyoto.h878301.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Richmond-Hotel-Premier-Kyoto-Ekimae.h37207574.Hotel-Information) > > [Good Nature Hotel Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Good-Nature-Hotel-Kyoto.h37234951.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhawa Yura Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Kyoto-Yura-Hotel-MGallery.h34865507.Hotel-Information) > > [Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-NOHGA-HOTEL-KIYOMIZU-KYOTO.h69673755.Hotel-Information) > > [Ibis Styles Kyoto Shijo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Kyoto-Shijo.h73068780.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Kyoto Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Mercure-Kyoto-Station.h46949381.Hotel-Information) > > [Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Onyado-Nono-Kyotonanajyo-Natural-Hot-Springs.h44762017.Hotel-Information) > > [RESI STAY Hachi Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hachi-Inn.h32949352.Hotel-Information) > > [TUNE STAY Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-TUNE-STAY-Kyoto-Hostel.h39861619.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Emion Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Emion-Kyoto.h45911447.Hotel-Information) > > [Asai Kyoto Shijo Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Asai-Kyoto-Shijo-Hotel.h93073540.Hotel-Information) > > [sequence KYOTO GOJO](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Sequence-KYOTO-GOJO.h46304712.Hotel-Information) > > [Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto -
