My stay at the hostel was so close to a bunch of restaurants as well as the subway line and just a 15 minute walk to the Kyoto airport so it was really convenient! I got free towels everyday and laundry was just only 200 Yen for the laundry pods. The hostess (I'm sad I didn't get her name) was nice and kind as to show me how everything works. Japanese isn't required but it was nice for me to practice some of it with her. Definitely would stay here again when I come back to Kyoto.

A small but homey space. They took care of me until I checked out. I'll definetly be back.

They exceeded my expectations. It's really a bang for one's buck. A homey environment, peaceful and quiet neighbourhood, can't say anything more. I would love to be back.

i had a wonderful time here. i slept deeply, i got to get work done in the lobby. the kitchen was well stocked and everything was pristine clean!

Very quiet and clean guesthouse, perfect for a few days

This hostel had a window and fan inside the spacious capsule with a foldable bed for more space. The kitchen was very clean and the laundry was free. Overall great hostel with adequate transportation near by, I would definitely book again.

This place had a great location, close to the train station and no more than 30 minute walks or train rides to most tourist attractions and food. Staff were super friendly and it was very clean. However, if you are used to a softer or thicker mattress, the beds will hurt your back. My partner and I were in a lot of pain after our stay because of the bed and pillow. It was an overall great stay but the beds could hurt you if you’re staying for a longer period.

It's basically a hostel with single rooms. Mostly quiet but it's impossible to close the room door without making a noise that everyone can easily hear. The price is good but there is a significant cost for late check-in.

Basically a self serve guesthouse. Was not used to waking 3 flights down to take a shower, no hanger for towels at the public washing basin and inside pf public toilet, and no TV. But after a couple of days I got used to it and it was OK. Location very convenient ot subways and buses. Price is right also.

Logement bien situé, proche des transports et de quelques restaurants ainsi que du Kombini, nous étions deux à y séjourner dans une chambre à la japonaise, c’était confortable et propre. Je recommande!

Great place!

Nice quiet and clean place, the owner lady was very helpful, just one downside is no lockers in the room, otherwise very nice place for travellers.

Great place to stay. Nice lounge, plenty of amenities provided so very convenient. The guy who runs the place i really liked, hes super clever, interesting to talk to, well travelled & speaks perfect English

Will use it again

The host was amazing. 15 min walk from Kyoto staion.

This is a unique hostel with its Japanese charm. Place is in excellent location—- about 15- minutes walk to Kyoto station, a couple minutes to a subway station & to bus stops. I was able reach popular destinations easily with public transportation. Convenient store & McDonald’s are just a couple minutes walk as well. Though, good to venture local restaurants. As a solo female traveler, I definitely felt safe. Very close to a scenic river. I had a double room with a bunk bed. However, I happened to not have a roommate & had the room all to myself! It has a window. Charming bed, with Japanese mattress & pillow. There’s a rooftop terrace. Laundry is inexpensive—only 100 yen for both wash & dry. Tea bags of different variety are available & complimentary. I specifically like the one of brown rice. I got to meet & talk with other people from other countries while at the lobby. It was fun! Mr. Ace is a wonderful host. He speaks excellent English, very accommodating, down-to-earth, helpful of suggestions of places to see in Kyoto. Provided assistance with my huge luggage in check-in & check-out process. I need to travel lightly next time. I highly recommend this charming hostel. Will definitely come back!

We visited from Manchester New Hampshire USA and the Guesthouse WindVilla is a great location if you want to experience all that Kyoto has to offer. The staff at the Guesthouse Wind Villa were hospitable and always helpful. The Guesthouse is kept in a clean and great condtion. I highly recommend a stay there if you plan to visit Kyoto.

This hostel was the best location, and very clean with a very friendly owner. The little cubby that you get is so cute and very comfortable!

Quite convenient location. Manager of the hostel super friendly and helpful. Simple but comfortable.

Not only two minutes from the station which can take you to Osaka in less than an hour, but also a ~25min walk from Gion. The entire building was new and well maintained, plus very decent amenities within. Also within walking/biking distance of Fushimi Inari shrine, plus many other famous temples (and some not so well known).
