Great budget friendly spot!
Very cute place to stay! Staff were friendly and helpful, coin laundry available for 200 yen per load, and close to train stations. About a 30 minute walk from some of the major tourist spots and cheap bike rentals on the property! The room we stayed in was basic, with only a small table and fold out floor cushions for the beds, which was just fine for us. The shared bathroom was one floor down and was very clean. There was a private Ryokan available to rent out as well which was super cool!

Property provided basic needs with futon in bedroom and clean bedding. I paid extra for the private bathroom inside bedroom option. Small tv, small table and cup set for tea inside room. Shared kitchen and refrigerator for all guests. Being this was a ryokan style hotel i thought that yukata's would be complimentary to use during stay but they charge for it and almost all amenities even a towel!. The staff was friendly and helpful. Onsite washer and dryer is a plus. Only downside is the amenities rentals and office for check-in is at another location around the block.

good enough but there is better alternatives
The place is okay, it has an overpowering smell of basement or mold but you get used to it. The staff is friendly, the breakfast overpriced but nice and owner a bit paranoid - there is signs with rules everywhere! Even the most obvious things has has a handmade sign. We did not really feel wellcome and did not return second time in Kyoto. Expect to 5€ for towls and such.

Never meet any other guests despite we can hear footsteps, the room has kinda strong scene of the tatami and because of the dim light on the hallway, the place look kinda scary at night. The staff is very helpful, this stay is near to many bus stops, convenient stores, and restaurants.

Best hostel in Kyoto!
The staff here was super friendly and helpful. They offered lots of information about sightseeing. The kitchen and dining area were comfortable and well set-up. We rented bikes from them for 600 yen for 24 hours.So much fun! The location is within walking distance from the railway station. We also visited the public baths next door. I would stay here the next time that I'm in Kyoto!

Authentic, good location
Typical hostel experience. Nice room with plenty of space. It would be handy to have some more info on good places to go in the area like good places to eat etc. The beds are futons on the floor and you do feel the floor so if you’re not sure about that I wouldn’t go for it. Good showers and kitchen. We also had a little kettle in our room and a hair dryer. Lovely location, nice to stay in the little neighbourhood.

Lovely neighbourhood, disappointing room
We went to this hotel with the expectation that we would be staying in a traditional Japanese room. When we arrived we went to the main office/building, which was designed as a traditional Japanese interior. The staff were all dressed in kimonos, and they were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we were checked in to an annex building, which was a small apartment complex. We were in a simple apartment-style room, with a kitchenette and bathroom. The only traditional part of the room was our sleeping arrangements - futons on the floor. We were hoping for more character and decor as per the photos we saw online.

Charming and convenient
Great hostel, nice, clean and cozy, would love to stay there again. PROS: 3 min walk to a subway station, 15 min walk to the main Kyoto train station; nice kitchen with a stove, microwave and various utensils for common use; laundry machine on the roof top; a 24 hour supermarket is about 5 min walk away, also a 7-eleven is 3 min walk away (which in Japan is much better than in North America). We were lucky to get the room on the top 4th floor, which has its own balcony with a view and no other neighbors. CONS: the place was initially a bit hard to find, the taxi driver had to spend extra 2-3 min asking some locals for direction. Streets in this area are narrow, a taxi is too big to turn into the street. My advise, print or show a detailed map. Also, beware that the front desk is in another building a street away and closes at 10 PM. No elevators so prepare for walking up/down the stairs. Overall: we really liked the place.

Backpackers place with premium cost
Location is good,but for the 300 euro I paid for 2 nights ,very expensive,for sleeping on the floor and no furniture at all(just a ridiculous small table with 2 tea cups), my room located on the third floor no elevator,with big travel bags ,quite disturbing to reach and to leave,no wifi at all they will rent you a router for extra $$ and in the add,they say free wifi. overall ,never go there again

in the heart of urban kyoto, a friendly dorm
PROS - quick walk to/from kyoto station, subway station - flexible staff checked us in very early to let us drop off our bags and explore - plenty of updated suggestions for seasonal sites/activities CONS - the private room for 3 on the main floor is right next to the main common space/kitchen, which can be noisy with the right mix of internationals staying up late
