Our family of 4 has a lot of space to move about and even a living room /dining area. The location is walkable distance from Kyoto Station but do prepare a walk for a bit, but it's also quiet, good for resting after a day of touring /shopping. ##### Alan Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 4 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Room for 4 people just enough for 2-3person Room for 4 person but too small for 4 person. No place to put luggage. Share bathroom. Other was acceptable. Please check the policy before book. Rules are rules and there is no flexibility. The best part is the weather is cold in Japan, but the nights in Kyoto are boring. If you want to enjoy the nightlife, not recommended to stay in Kyoto. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 20 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### また泊まりに行きます とても綺麗で良かったです。 防音的に少し不安でしたが、特に人の話し声が気になって眠れない、などもありませんでした。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hostel.

Vid check-in var ytterdörren låst och vi fick vänta en timme. Till slut bankade vi hårt på dörren och då vaknade någon innanför och släppte in oss. Ofräscht med massor av hårstrån i sängen och trasig toalettdörr. Absolut inte värt pengarna. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chi 10 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 店主人很好，是台湾人，不过他说他不是老板。两人间的房间比想象中大。虽然是公共浴室和卫生间，但是却没有降低卫生标准。非常舒适 ##### Chi Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### linfeng 3 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 位置很不错的青旅就在西本愿寺斜对面，晚上去日出之汤泡澡也很方便，比较适合年轻人住宿。 ##### linfeng ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 15 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort nice location, cozy place, enthusiastic owner, fabulous chance to meet up with lovely people from all kinds of places ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Héctor Enrique 4 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excelente Muy bien ubicado, renta bicicletas que es el mejor transporte en kyoto.
