I really enjoyed my stay here. The beds were actually quite large and very comfortable. And the aesthetic of the overall property was so incredibly cool! It is also very conveniently near a lot of major things to see without being too close where a bunch of tourists are around! Right next to a bus station that can take you about anywhere too! Staff were so nice and accommodating! Would definitely recommend staying here!

King room was very spacious and bed was plenty big enough although it was uncomfortable to sleep in the centre but for two people that would be fine. Was a bit loud because of the traffic but was given ear plugs which helped block it out almost completely. Overall had a great stay.

Stayed here for 4 nights. It has a cafe/bar on the first floor, so I could grab morning coffee there. It’s right downtown by a bus stop. The amenities are nice, and it has an exceptionally nice common area. The dorms have small lockers and are very basic but pleasant. It’s pretty clean, with very nice staff who speak some English.

I chose this as I wanted to feel the atmosphere of a backpacker hostel. Pleasant stay. Clean. Affordable. Coin-operated washing machine and dryer are available. It only accepts 100 yen coins. You can exchange coins at the reception. Friendly bar next to reception. The famous Fushimi Inari Taisha is just 18 minutes away by train.

Cool hostel, great location for Kyoto

Cool hostel with a vibey bar downstairs. Decent hostel for meeting people, which is rare in Japan. Kitchen and common area could be bigger, but they likely want you to spend time in the bar downstairs. Kitchen had everything you needed like oil/herbs etc. beds had good privacy with curtains and were reasonably comfortable, with plug and light for each bunk. Only 2 showers per floor sometimes meant a little wait. Place was clean and staff were friendly. Free tea was a nice touch.

Great hostel with excellent craft beer selection.

Lovely place. Bedrooms are comfortable and the shared lounge spaces are nice and relaxing. The bar is great as well with an EXCELLENT beer selection. Was surprised to see a favourite craft brewery of mine from Toronto there.
