Kyoto G

The staff, good environment, beatiful walk street and a nice park nearby. The restaurant downstair is amazing for vegeterians.

The facilities are a bit old but for a solo traveler its the perfect solution

Not sure why this place has any good reviews

The wifi is horrible--it works fine when you're literally the only person in the hostel but as soon as there's one or more other people using it, it stops working. Clearly, they're using a router meant for a personal apartment and expecting it to work for an entire hostel and restaurant--not sure why they would choose to frustrate their guests every single night rather than invest in a suitable wifi. The place is very cramped, things are falling apart (like the curtains on my bed which fell constantly and were in complete disrepair), and I wasn't even given a pillowcase if you can believe that. The location is inconvenient--a very far walk to the center where you can find places to eat or go sightseeing. You have to take two buses to go almost anywhere.

The stuff are really friendly and it’s in a great location in Kyoto.

Nothing

staff! guests! value for money! restaurant bar! tried caligraphy & Koto!- i actually thought i want a quiet room but met great staff and guests! its not fancy but value for money is great! coming back from a long day walking, sitting for a beer and great vegetarian food, meeting others that became friends...it was great and too short, i would extend if i could and will come again. the caligraphy workshop was great, thank you all!

its basic place but again, i did not expect as the price was just great value for money

One of the worst hostels I've stayed in. The facilities/cleanliness were the problem. The "living space" wasn't functional for anything really. There was random furniture items scattered across the sofas rendering them useless. The mixed dormitory was positioned directly above the below restaurant which proved to be a problem on a couple of fronts. The walls separating the room of the downstairs restaurant/bar from the mixed dormitory seemed to either be made up of gaps, or paper thin. You could hear everything from the bar downstairs with noise continuing past 23:30 making it very difficult to get to sleep. The smell and aroma of the kitchen filtered directly up into the dormitory which made my clothes and the bedsheets smell of cooking - this was unpleasant. One below standard, makeshift, mouldy, bug filled shower to share across 12 beds was not enough. I had the displeasure of using this and it was pretty bad. There were small flies coming from a gap in the ceiling throughout my shower. The water pressure was volatile making it difficult to shower. And the general cleanliness and condition of this weren't good at all. I'd strongly recommend you stay somewhere else!

Nothing, I would better sleep outside than inside this accomodation. The streets in Japan are cleaner than inside the rooms.

This accommodation is not a proper guesthouse or hostel. It operates primarily as an Israeli restaurant, and appears to rent out rooms as a side business in extremely poor conditions. The space was very small, dirty, and noisy. Every night there were loud conversations and music until 2:00 AM, making it impossible to rest. My room had no windows, poor ventilation, and an unpleasant smell, forcing me to sleep on the couch for two nights instead of using the provided bed. The beds themselves were very uncomfortable and the entire setup felt unwelcoming and unprofessional. The atmosphere was exclusive to a specific group, with guests and staff speaking only Hebrew and showing little regard for others staying in the property. I felt out of place and completely ignored. This listing is misleading, and in my opinion, should not be on Booking.com. I strongly recommend an investigation into whether it meets the platform's standards. The photos from booking are fake or from 1990. Just to imagine, it was cherry blossom season, every accomodation was full but they had empty beds.

I wished for newer and fresher futons.

Good location, staff were friendly

The bed felt like it was going to break if I weighed 20 pounds more. The staff had a party till just after midnight and the dorm was above the dining area so I could hear everything. Facilities were in need of a renovation. Very old school vibes.
