This hostel was very clean. The shared bathroom is fairly spacious. The showers and toilet rooms are larger than most Japanese hotels. The sleeping pods get a little by hot at night, but nothing out of the ordinary. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The curry breakfast is amazing and is super reasonable at 600¥ and includes a beverage and yogurt. The whole vibe of this place was very soothing and relaxing. I will definitely stay here next time when I get the chance!

Really great hostel. Super friendly staff. Not a long walk from the station. Only downside is that the rooms don’t really get dark at night due to the windows that open to the floor below, which always has its lights on.

This is hands down the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The building is so beautiful and smells like sandalwood. The staff are friendly, everything is super clean, there is a beautiful outdoor area and a nice dining area. The beds are comfortable and the room is air conditioned. Do try the breakfast and coffee, they are delicious and vegetarian (very difficult to find in Japan!). I can’t recommend enough.

A nice and clean hostel, with friendly service in English. A bit of a walk from Kyoto Station, but they provide a walkthrough (in English) on how to get there with a lot of photos. So, the walk is long, but one does not feel lost, and on the way to the hostel, you can check out where you might want to drink your beer for the night :-)

Property looks nice, but staff or owner seems extremely inexperienced. Had a very bad experience, first the ran out of towels one night, staff was no where to be found to ask for more towels. Then the next day, when new towels were out, I opened it up and there were hair stuck in it, quite a few strands. It was extremely discomforting.. not sure how it happened.

such a cute hostel! Well designed and stylish! Great value. Staff SUPER friendly and helpful. The beds were a bit on the harder side, and it is hard to not have your own space to spread out your suitcases and pack/unpack (and you have to be considerate of others who may be sleeping or resting in the same space), but that's the con of hostels. Other than that, it was a great place! Super easy to get to the airport from here too (KIX), use the bus that goes there direct! Way easier than maneuvering the trains.

I stayed 3 nights and it was amazing! the hostel is brand new so everything looked perfect. The bed was comfortable the location was 10 minutes away from the station and walking distance to several temples and shrines. It was always very clean. They are very generous and provide free things such as water padlocks towels earplugs among other stuff. The only downside I would say is that the bathrooms are downstairs and there is no kitchen. But if u don't care about that it's a really good choice if you're planning to stay in Kyoto. The staff are very helpful especially Ono and they helped me to check in through the tablet. I regret I didn't stay longer

Great location for the Kyoto sights and temples and the bedroom space was good. The WiFi wasn’t very good and kept cutting out especially in the bedrooms which is frustrating for foreign travellers! There also aren’t officially any staff - you check in on a tablet which makes asking about any problems tricky. There is a big space for communal area but it isn’t finished - could do with being painted, some lights installed and perhaps a sink and microwave!!

Clean room, easy to check in. It uses a self-checkin system so you may want to be familiar with that type of stuff.

Clean, quiet, well-equipped and most important, very beautiful and artistic! One of my favorite place to stay in Kyoto, will definitely come back again. The staff are very gracious, nice and friendly too. Yet there is no elevator, but only one floor of stairs to carry.
