Pros: A. It was clean all the time. B. The staffs are nice and very helpful. For the staffs, I would give them 5 stars all day. C. The common room is so nice for meeting fellow travelers. Con’s: A. Had to pay for towels. B. I had to put my linens, pillow cases and blanket myself when I checked in so I thought the room wasn’t ready. C. They cleaned my room instead of the other person who left or checked out so I had to again do the things I mentioned in letter B. D. We just had a super snorer that couldn’t tolerate and that same person kept turning the heater up to 80F.

Great as a solo traveller

This is the 2nd time I've stayed here as a solo traveller, and I will definitely be back next time I'm in Kyoto. The beds are very comfy and the bedrooms, bathrooms, and common area are very clean. The place has a really good vibe and in a convenient location for public transport and food.

Very well organized, everyone was friendly, loved the no shoes policy and provided slippers!, the communal living room space with tables and couches to relax on, the large kitchen and refrigerator to access, and the rooms/beds were great too. Very easy to find, close to metro and bus routes, near the river too which is so pretty! Would stay again!

I've been in Japan for 3 weeks now and this was, by far, the best place I've stayed in! I arrived a few hours before check in but was able to store my luggage. I'd like to say a personal big thank you to Michi who was very kind and suggested some places for me to visit around the area. The dorms and common spaces were all very nice (I recommend going up to the rooftop for sunset - you won't be disappointed). The staff were constantly cleaning which was nice to see. The beds were comfortable and the bag storage areas underneath were more than spacious enough. Will definitely be back here and visit other K's hostels around Japan!

I was taken back by how clean the facility was and how friendly the staff were. We booked this a little impulsively due to a last minute booking mistake but I would honestly stay here again if I had the chance. They make it feel like a mini home with so much information telling you about the weather, things to do in the area, where to eat, etc. The common rooms and kitchens are so nice and stocked if you needed something. Everyone is very polite and respectful, this changed my perspective on hostels. They also all speak English making it extra convenient for foreigners. Thank you!!

This is my second time at K’s and nothing bad to say. If anything, it’s more some of the guests that are loud but otherwise the place is amazing! Walkable from the station (10min), with konbinis and affordable eating options around. Not too far from shopping area or some temples by foot (20 to 40 mins). You can even rent bikes for a good price. A fully equipped kitchen. Showers on every floors and they are clean. Laundry service with free dryers. Honestly, I’ll come again and recommend definitely!
