Hostels w: Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

„Authentic experience, just what we were looking for! The place was traditional and felt real. Toilets were good, as were the showers, all amenities were fine. I was a little apprehensive about the self check in but it was really easy and straight forwards. Japanese rice porridge was included and a nice touch. Overall, the stay was perfect, exactly what we wanted.”

„Excellent location. Very close to a konbini and all transport. Fast wifi. Free coffee. They provide towels and you can change your towel every day. On the 1st floor you can dry your hair with a Dyson hair dryer. There's also a hair dryer (a simple one) in the room. The shower has a shampoo, hair conditioner, shower gel and a garbage bin located very conveniently. There are also swabs, tissues and paper towels. There's a fridge and washing machines for 300 yen (coin activated) and a dryer for your clothes for 100 yen. I would definitely recommend this hostel for a friend”

„1. The price is cheap, but the location is good. 2. There was a musty smell as soon as we entered. Even though it was new in 2025, it's probably because the house hasn't been properly renovated. 3. There are no slippers in the shoe-off area. 4. There is no disinfectant liquid in the restroom, and everyone has to share a pair of slippers when taking off shoes. 5. There is only one towel for the floor mat when entering the bathroom. It's not changed for each person, and there is no diatomaceous earth mat either. 6. The non-stick coating of the pot in the kitchen has peeled off. 7. The paint on a pair of chopsticks is chipped and peeling. 8. It looks like only one sponge is used for washing dishes & kitchen sink (since there's only one sponge available).”

„This is the worst accommodation experience I’ve had during my trips to Japan. In the past, my visits to Japan have always been perfect—truly a paradise for travelers from around the world. However, lately, I’ve noticed a surge of Indian people in places like convenience stores and hotel front desks, which has led to some negative experiences for me along the way. I usually brushed them off as minor, but this hotel stay was unacceptable and I have to speak up. At check-in, the Indian front desk staff was indifferent and dismissive, which already set a bad tone. Then, when I went to bed around midnight, I discovered that the room only had two flat bedsheets—no duvet cover (comforter cover) and no pillowcases at all. It was very late, so I didn’t want to disturb anyone by calling reception again, and I ended up sleeping uncomfortably without proper bedding—yet another hassle caused by the Indian staff. If the hotel management sees this review, please seriously reconsider hiring Indian staff. They are ruining Japan’s reputation and its world-famous service industry! I hope this feedback helps improve things for future guests.”

„Pour un voyage seul, je recommande.  Bien situé, à proximité du bus et à quelques minutes à pied du métro.  Par contre si besoin de quelqu’un à la réception, il n’y a personne de 21h à 10h.”

„Наша семья из 4-х человек останавливалась на 1 ночь в этом хостеле. Расположение неплохое, в несколько остановок от вокзала, можно и пешком. Рядом остановки автобусов следующих к вокзалу и в город. Сам номер имел спальные места на 3 человека, мини кухня, хороший санузел с электронными наворотами унитаза, как в прочем, во всей Японии. Полноценная ванная комната, правда пользоваться разрешили только душем. Полотенца и постельное бельё были хорошего качества и чистоты. Неудобно на 3-й этаж было подниматься а потом спускаться по лестнице. Нам нужна была одна ночь, поэтому нас это жильё устраивало.”

„I stayed in a 6-person dorm, and it was very noisy. Nobody seemed to care about others resting; there were loud ”whispers” in English from time to time. Various noises started as early as 6 am. It felt like I was back in Europe, experiencing the same noise and indifference from fellow travelers.”

„If you can, definitely ask for the bottom bunk, it was a pain in the ass climbing up and down with the top not having a head of head space. They do provide lockers with keys to lock up your valuables. They also provide some commonly used items on top of the fridge. Shower is in the room but washroom is shared in the communal area on every floor, the toilet stalls are extremely tight, it was a challenge to sit down, will def be problematic for taller individuals. It is a bit of a walk from the station but it is very quiet at night, everyone in the room was very respectful and tried to minimize the sound as much as possible. Overall, aside from the toilet being way too crammed, everything was good.”

„Чистый и приятный хостел в тихом районе. Далековато от центра, но рядом есть станция метро. Также недалеко супермаркет. Понравилась комната на 4 гостя и просторная общая зона. Душевые и туалеты в хорошем состоянии.”

„Good location, walkable to metro station and some tourist attractions. Provides shoe rack and slippers to change upon entering, has lift to access all floors. Shared kitchen and common area is spacious and comfortable, provides kitchenware, stove, cutleries, coffee and tea. Toilets and bathroom are clean and equipped with hairdryer. There is storage under bunk bed but need to prepare your own lock and key. Has airconditioning in the room. Paid washer and dryer available.”
