I chose this as I wanted to feel the atmosphere of a backpacker hostel. Pleasant stay. Clean. Affordable. Coin-operated washing machine and dryer are available. It only accepts 100 yen coins. You can exchange coins at the reception. Friendly bar next to reception. The famous Fushimi Inari Taisha is just 18 minutes away by train.

King room was very spacious and bed was plenty big enough although it was uncomfortable to sleep in the centre but for two people that would be fine. Was a bit loud because of the traffic but was given ear plugs which helped block it out almost completely. Overall had a great stay.

Cool hostel, great location for Kyoto
Cool hostel with a vibey bar downstairs. Decent hostel for meeting people, which is rare in Japan. Kitchen and common area could be bigger, but they likely want you to spend time in the bar downstairs. Kitchen had everything you needed like oil/herbs etc. beds had good privacy with curtains and were reasonably comfortable, with plug and light for each bunk. Only 2 showers per floor sometimes meant a little wait. Place was clean and staff were friendly. Free tea was a nice touch.

Great hostel with excellent craft beer selection.
Lovely place. Bedrooms are comfortable and the shared lounge spaces are nice and relaxing. The bar is great as well with an EXCELLENT beer selection. Was surprised to see a favourite craft brewery of mine from Toronto there.

Nice hostel, great location
Hostel was quiet, didn’t come across many people. Common areas kept very clean by staff. Beds were comfy. Cafe in lobby a bit expensive for coffee or beers. Walkable to many restaurants, stops, and transit stations. Overall we had a nice time here, would recommend.

Really nice atmosphere in the common areas and lobby bar/cafe. The bed was very old and the provided towels smelled off. Noise isolation very poor, could not get a restful sleep despite being in a private room.

Great location, lovely staff, very clean. Very good prices. Bus stop basically right in front, and 7-eleven only 2 min away. The cafe and bar seem to be well-known, so there are chances to meet locals. The one event they hosted during my time there was a blast - live music, live art, good food and drinks. Staff give EXCELLENT restaurant recommendations. If you arrive too early for check-in, they can hold onto your bags and leave them in a room that is only accessible to staff which is very nice. I think the only negative is that I wish they had the fancier toilets haha. I had a great stay at Len and highly recommend.

The bar downstairs made for a great spot for a drink before bed, but if you prefer a quieter space there was also a room upstairs where you could relax.

Hostel with great cafe/bar
Room was a standard hostel room, a bit hard to sleep because the person above me moved a lot. Otherwise, an amazing option. Has a really cool cafe that turns into a bar at night.
