Very convenient location nearby Kyoto Station as well as a subway line. Environment is very clean, but the mattress is a bit too thin, making it slightly uncomfortable to sleep on
Got lucky with my friend since we got a room for two in the other building (not the main building). This meant more privacy and more space. Hostel was quiet and clean, and nicely decorated. The bedroom was quite small but okay for a one night's stay. Located close to the main shopping streets and many attractions. Recommend!
Lovely little hostel right in the centre of Kyoto. The rooms are small, but comfortable and clean. Toiletries are provided, and the location is a perfect base for sightseeing. The staff is super sweet. It was a pleasure to stay here.
교토에 갈때마다 주로 숙박하는 곳인데 게스트하우스임에도 단독방이 많아서 편리함. 좁은 공간을 효율적으로 설계해서 쾌적하고 화장실과 욕실도 무척 청결함. 버스 정류장이 숙소 바로 앞이라 편하며 교토역에서 도보로 10분이라 교통도 편리함.건물이 두 개인데 하나는 여성전용이라 안전하고 편함
