It’s got nice Restaurants around it and bath houses. Comfy pods however my only complaint is that there is no locker room to put your things in or get changed in. This led to getting changed in the pod but I can live with that. Very nice would stay in again. (I left a drawing of Luffy and a note in the guest book :\] ) ##### Emerson Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brittany-Ann 24 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It’s very close to Gion station and the Main Street. The hostel was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. If you don’t want to keep your bags in the rooms you can leave them downstairs in an area that is secured by cameras. I recommend staying here if you want to be close to Yasaka shrine, Kiyomizudera, Kodaiji temple, and Kenin Ji Temple. Even the popular restaurant Kichi Kichi omurice and bars are a 10 min walk away. ##### Brittany-Ann Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pascal 6 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Everything was clean and everyone was really nice! ##### Pascal Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dylan 2 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easy to check in and check out. ##### Dylan Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marie 23 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice and clean hostel with many popular attractions near by. ##### Marie Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luis 3 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great ##### Luis Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rohan 16 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location, nice staff and good facilities! ##### Rohan Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 22 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities First time staying at a hostel, loved this place felt traditional, the common area was great just to chat with other travelers.
