Great for sleeping, as for other things...
We were not expecting to have a shared toilet and showers, and rental towels.
The picture showed a varanda but there was none in our room. Furthermore, our room had only 2 sockets.
On the other hand, the futons were extremely comfortable and the AC was a blessing during a very hot weather.
Peace house Sakura is like a little dorm, very homie. If you're a student trying to find a place to stay at but not be by yourself the entire time this is the place to be. It's super cute with an open kitchen and sitting area. It's a great deal. I do want to mention that since the kitchen and living room is a shared space it can sometimes get messy. For my fellow introverts if you get uncomfortable with eating with strangers it may not be for you. You can not eat in your room but during breakfast you usually have the living room to your self.
We felt the beds were unclean and smelly. I understand that hotel rule states we are not allowed to eat in our rooms but the common room was also unclean and I noticed one of your staffs even slept there using his phone therefore we didn't feel like coming to the common room at all but we had no option!
In addition to this, we felt it was too noisy thanks to the people who were staying next to our room. We hardly got enough sleep during our stay and we really wanted to check out asap. I understand its out of your control to make the guests keep quiet after 10pm but I am writing this to keep this in mind before they book a room here.
Toilets and shower were clean through.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It's location was central to where an what we needed. Nice big room also. Thanks for everything folks.
To be honest, almost everything. It was not clean, we are not allowed to eat at the rooms (like we are kids at highschool) and the bad was horrible.
The shower was great! Pretty much clean, and hot water..
it is in a convenient location, 20-30 minutes walk from Kyoto station, Staff are friendly and speak English. There are shared bath, toilet, and kitchen. It is good for travels looking for cheap and comfortable. There is no room service for cleaning etc.

bad experience of late check-in
arrived late but has notified the hotel.wrong key given and couldnt enter the room after so many trials. was not told how to get help if anything or even the staff room.bothered a really cold spoken long term guest there who was a japanese which i first thought the hotel assistant because of my problem and get bad reaction.
Rating for dormitory. Most uncomfortable bunks ever slept on. No thought or concern in layout or functionality. Junk piled in front of building. Anywhere in Kyoto or neighboring towns would be better.
Lovely staff, in case you are arriving before or after check-in hours, just write them an email in advance. There's a kitchen, so you can prepare your own food, coffee and tea are provided complimentary. Kitchen is common ars as well, what makes it so easy to have a chat with all the other guests. They even have a washing machine and dryer. The hostel is in a central location. There's nothing more you could with for.
