The place is a very cozy traditional house. It’s close to every thing and walkable. It’s very close to the market which is good. The host is very nice. The house is all shared space. Cons- is that if you are someone who is a light sleeper is not for you ( but everyone are respectful in terms of noise/quite time) also its a shared bathroom meaning you have to time when you are going to take a shower.

Friendly staff; good location; chilled vibes. Beds had the essentials - personal light, curtain and electrical sockets; with a bit of extra space for storage. Traditional thin Japanese mattress but I found it comfortable enough. Good shower. All in all an excellent value hostel - the only improvement that could be made would be a better pillow as it was practically as thin as a piece of paper

Traditional and beautiful Japanese style guesthouse, which was more than I expected. The place was extremely clean and the beds/mats were suprisingly very comfortable. As people have pointed out, this place is small but I didn't see it as a problem. They provide tea and coffee, towels, shampoo etc. Only con of this place would be the fact that there's no airconditioner in the dormitory. How ever, the dormitory area is connected to a balcony which has an AC and a fan. They usually opened the balcony door and turned the AC on at bed time, so the dormitory wasn't too hot at all (even though it got pretty hot during the day). This is something you should consider if you're traveling Japan during the hottest season (I was traveling in the end if June). Over all I had a very good stay!

Location and service is excellent and the pantry area is wonderful with free coffee and tea and bath towel provided! My only grouses are that without heating, the beds are too cold and if you go, pick the upstairs bed rather than the beds below because the beds above creak badly and disturb the person below a lot. Otherwise the bedding is very comfortable. For the price of the dormitory beds though, it’s a good choice but not so comfortable in the winter.

Yululu guesthouse is a very good choice for whoever is on a budget but wants to enjoy what kyoto and Japanese style house have to offer. The location is amazing, the staff is adorable and super helpful, the rooms are beautifully traditional... there is a real desire to make you feel welcome. The two little negative things I can point out are the fact that there is only one shower for 15 guests (!) And that you can hear anything from everywhere, as walls and doors are super thin. So don't expect much privacy. But as a place to stay for one or a couple of nights and visit Kyoto, it's really good.

The guesthouse is very traditional and I am unaccustomed to sleeping mats so found it rather uncomfortable. The house itself has sliding paper screens and a beautiful little garden very much in the Japanese traditional style. The floorboards creak and you can hear people moving about and talking. The house rules require that everyone is as quiet as possible after 11pm so it's not an issue. Bathroom and kitchen are shared but very clean.
