I loved this hostel! Our room was small which we expected but super comfy. The toilets were clean and well maintained. The common areas were also comfortable to relax in.

The best thing was its location as it was in the lively Kawaramachi area. The hostel itself was clean and comfortable. It also has a restaurant/cafe at the ground floor for those who probably want something to eat.

Amazing place! In the quite location but close to all major temples and attractions of Kyoto, close to bus that gets you directly to Kyoto station. We had a beautiful room with private bath and you don’t get to see it on the pictures but it’s almost like private onsen, really cute and nice after entire day of walking. We would definitely stay there again if ever in Kyoto.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
