What Guests Say About Their Stay

It's a hostel! Don't expect room service. But it was exactly what we were looking for (cheap room). The added attraction for us was the fact that it is a 125-year-old house. It was great getting to experience sleeping on the floor on futons. As with most hostels, the toilet and bathroom are "down the hall." However, our room had its own private toilet, which was convenient. Check-in was "interesting." There's a box at the front door that has "check-in" instructions for incoming guests. You find the paper with your name, and it tells you how to open the front door, what room you're in, WI-FI info, etc. We arrived late evening and left early morning. As such, we didn't see anybody connected with the facility. It was just like coming and leaving home. A wonderful experience, in my opinion, that well suited our needs and budget.

Haruya Umekoji is so charming and authentic. Less than 10 minutes walk from the Umekoji station, and right next to the aquarium. The staff was very helpful and they even have bicycles you can rent out for the day (trust me, it’s the better way to get around Kyoto).

The room was clean, but the house was old. There is only 1 restroom and 1 bathroom for 7 bedrooms. People need to wait for their turns to use them. The restroom and bathroom are not as good as other hotels that we used that were about the same prices. I would expect more from this hotel with the price of $70/night. The receptionist speaks English well which is a good sign.

It’s a really charming little place. The walls were thin so please be mindful about noise level. I had some really noisy people that were staying there which was regretful. It could be cleaner because there was mold on the ceiling of the bathroom. Some places were dusty. I stayed on the second floor but luckily my luggage was bearable. The stairs were steep and narrow. I had to be careful to not destroy anything. Overall, I really like it there.

The hostel is quite charming and gives a different experience from big chains hotels and hostels however it feels a little bit weird doing check-in and check-out without talking to anyone from the place. The check-in starting at 16:00 and check-out at 10:00 gives the impression that you are being rob. Also, charging for bath towels was unnecessary (at least the first one).

2 stops from kyoto Station if you're taking bus which cost RM 8 per trip. If you choose walking then would be 15-20mins. Staffs are extremely polite and friendly (really love them so much) You need to be quiet and careful during the stays becoz of the building structure, can easily hear people next door talking or walking. With quite a strong wood smell as it's a 100 years old building. The room is clean, overall a good stay and recommended to someone who wants to experience a traditional Japanese culture stay.

A typical Japanese style hotel. A good experience but shared shower. A bus stop is at front of hotel. Front desk only opens to 9pm. So check in must be before that time. Will book this hotel again if have a chance in Kyoto.
