Guest Reviews

• Emma (6/5): Decent accommodation - The rooms and shared spaces were nice and clean. The staff is only on site from 9am to 12am. I tried to message them several times both through booking.com and WhatsApp regarding bike rental and luggage storage. However, I didn’t receive any replies. If you want to do your laundry it is really expensive 2000 JPY for one wash+dryer. Our room had a really strong smell of perfume and even after staying there for three nights with open windows we couldn’t get rid of it.
• Romain (3/5): Aucune intimité - La chambre faisait 3 m² pour 2 personnes... et il était possible de voir dans la chambre de l'extérieur par la porte fermé (un gros manque d'intimité dans une auberge avec 10 chambres).
• Antonioli (8/5): -
• Anthony (8/5): -
• Lucido (10/5): - Good 😎
• Stella (8/5): - Staff was nice and friendly, the facilities like the shower rooms and toilets were good. Washing machine, a little expensive so I wouldn’t recommend doing laundry there. The rooms for two were slightly small if you are sharing with another, but it wasn’t so bad. The cleanliness is good, would recommend to stay there:) Rooms a little small, shower room also kinda narrow lol. Laundry kinda expensive, that’s about it.
• Mélanie (9/5): - Emplacement super, à côté des bus La chambre était grande donc c’était agréable Les salles de bains et toilettes étaient toujours propres Fuyons agréables
• Vincent (10/5): - The bed provided is extremly comfortable even though it is a foldable bed Doors and windows are a bit thin and have some see-through gaps
• Franz (6/5): -
• Clara (6/5): - C'était très très petit et les chambres sont vraiment très mal insonorisées...
• Daniel (10/5): - Posto stupendo, molto cozy. Tutto era molto pulito! Ci tornerei volentieri!
• macarena (10/5): Increible! - El ambiente era muy acogedor, los alrededores muy lindos y silenciosos ideal para descansar... quedaba cerca de tiendas de conveniencia y de supermercados ya que en el hotel contaban con cocina, tambien quedaba cerca de un metro
• Max (10/5): Affordable and comfortable! - Staff were very friendly! Location excellent in a quiet area, excellent value for money :)
• Ádám (8/5): - Location, cost, check in was great
• SONIA (5/5): No - Le falta muchaaaaa limpieza
• Gilles (7/5): - The tatami bedrooms are fun, definitely one of the cheaper options in town Shared spaces weren't the cleanest, one of three available showers didn't work for the whole stau
• Azamat (9/5): -
• Marielle (8/5): - Très bien pour une auberge de jeunesse. Dommage que les services tels que la garde de bagages ou machine à laver soient payants en supplément.
• Lea (9/5): - Espace de vie et la chambre pour 4, très sympa L’hôtel est propre à l’exception du couloir principal, il faudrait penser à passer l’aspirateur. Le reste est propre
• Mitchell (3/5): Not good - Bad location, thin walls, shared toilet and seperate shared shower, no bin in room, and just not a great vibe.
• DANNA (8/5): Buen Lugar mala relación calidad - precio - El hotel es muy acogedor es una casita en un barrio residencial, cerca a varias estaciones de bus, queda lejos de Gion y sitios turisticos pero se puede llegar facilmente en bus. Casi nunca hay nadie en recepción, pero si llamas por telefono te resuelven. Los baños estan bien y las habitaciones tambien. Duermes en colchoneta y futon, es interesante para un par de dias, luego incomodo. Calidad precio no es adecuada, considero que la estancia es muy costosa para lo que es.. un cuarto bastante pequeño con dos colchonetas y baño compartido sin embargo es lo mejor en temporada alta.
• Joulanar (8/5): - The rooms are quite big, especially for Kyoto ! I was in a twin room that could have easily accommodated one or two other people. The location is a tad far from city centre, however, the value for money is excellent, especially during the Sakura season, so ultimately, I'm not complaining!
• Pascal (10/5): - Propreté Ras
• Clémentine (6/5): -
• Gladys (8/5): -
• Alika (10/5): Wonderful stay! - This guesthouse was very nice! The location was in a quiet neighborhood, which we appreciated and everyone was very respectful of each other's space. The kitchen was stocked with everything you might need and all the spaces were very clean. Would stay here again! The light in the bedroom is very bright with no secondary dimmer source, which would've been nice in the evening. Not a deal breaker at all, it was still a comfortable space to stay, but a lamp with a warm light would have been appreciated!
• Ragnheidur (8/5): -
• Anna Sophie (7/5): - Personal nur selten vor Ort. Beim Self Check in konnte man nicht immer das passende Zimmer finden
• Angela (7/5): Location which stay there again and hope the staff are more friendly and helpful and welcoming next time - The location was convenient and the place was quite clean . Very unfriendly one staff in particular. In fact, we didn’t know she was Staff as she never spoke or welcomed us until the second day when someone mentioned she was Staff.

• 王德海 (10/5): - Quite No
• Yi-Lun (7/5): - 日式傳統地舖和房間，廚房也可以自行煮東西來吃，整體而言是不錯的飯店 洗衣烘衣價格有點高，如果攜帶衣服少的遊客需要洗衣服建議去附近洗衣店

• Wen Chi (10/5): - 溫馨的住宿，可以認識新朋友
• Rasa (10/5): Simple, Friendly, and Worth Coming Back - I extended my stay three times and, altogether, stayed for two weeks. I think that says a lot. The place is simple but clean, the staff are super friendly, and the location is good. If I can, I would definitely repeat my stay again. CAN'T THINK ABOUT ANYTHING
• Rafael (7/5): - Buena ubicacion y limpio Wifi inestable y lento Ultima noche sin conexión
• Maria (7/5): Un buen sitio para descansar - La habitación era muy amplia y limpia. La sala común era cómoda. Era más un hostal para estudiantes. Está algo alejado de las zonas turísticas (unos 20-30 minutos de bus).

• Mattia (10/5): -
• Olivia (10/5): Lovely place to stay while exploring Kyoto! - Great place to stay while in Kyoto! Quiet, comfortable and clean with a great kitchen and lounge area. Lovely staff and centrally located - well connected by buses to anything you need. Nothing, it was great!

• Milena (10/5): - Fujitaya is an amazing place with an excellent location. It’s close to Tambaguchi Station, with easy train access to Kyoto Station and other destinations, and also near several bus stops. Getting around Kyoto was extremely convenient, and returning safely to the hotel was always easy. There’s a 24-hour Lawson just a 3-minute walk away, which made it very convenient to buy anything we needed at any time. The facilities are exceptional: the room is cozy and beautifully Japanese in style, and the shared bathrooms are always spotless. The living room is very comfortable and welcoming, with plenty of materials for tourists, including maps, guides, and staff recommendations. The staff provide great suggestions for nearby restaurants and places to visit, as well as clear information on how to reach Kyoto’s main attractions. There’s also a fully equipped shared kitchen and a cart full of books and magazines to enjoy in the common area. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful—exactly what we were looking for in Japan. On New Year’s Day, the staff even took all the guests to a nearby temple, which was a truly special and memorable experience. I was so happy to explore Kyoto while staying at Fujitaya. Highly recommended!
• Tania (8/5): - Good value for money, the kitchen and common area were cozy and inviting. Well located within Kyoto, very close to both bus and train stations. The showers were a bit small, laundry was expensive (1800 yen) and no smoking area on site for smokers. Moreover, only one key was provided for a three adults room.
• Odile (9/5): Séjour très agréable - Lieu accueillant. Responsable très à l'écoute et force de proposition. Il nous a proposé de vivre le passage à l'an 2026 dans un temple en participant à la tradition de sonner le gong.
• Rakesh (9/5): experience at Fujitaya Kyoto was warm and memorable - The owner was warm and welcoming. He explained everything clearly and was kind enough to help us get around. He even invited us to a nearby shrine, where we had a wonderful time celebrating the New Year with him and his family. The new staff member who joined on December 28 was also very kind and supportive. She shared the New Year’s dishes that the owner and his family had prepared, which made the experience even more special. We would prefer to stay again and will recommend to our friends and colleagues to visit Fujitaya Kyoto . The toilet bidet on the far left on the 1st floor was not working. We also had an unusual experience with a staff member named EKA. We weren’t sure if she was officially staff, but her friend was sleeping in the bottom living room when we came to use the kitchen, and there were alcohol and snacks left out on the table. Since we had children with us, this made us feel a bit uneasy. The friend later went into a private room with the staff member, which was surprising to see in a guesthouse setting. Other than these points, everything else was exceptionally well managed, and we would definitely stay again when we visit Kyoto.
• Deepali (10/5): Comfortable, Homely - It had all the amenities one might need. Rooms were bigger than expected with huge storage space. Bathrooms were clean and always available. They have an open kitchen too so you can heat up your take away food. It is located in walking distance feom the Kawaguchiko station which is just 2 station away from Kyoto.
• Benjamin (6/5): - Good price. Never met any staff member. Neighbours seem actively hostile towards guests, with an ultrasonic sensor pointed directly at the entrance.
• Stephen (10/5): -
• Raguenet (9/5): -
• Cecilia (10/5): Limpio, tranquilo y económico - Limpio, con instalaciones en perfecto uso, zona tranquila y usuarios tranquilos. Situado en un barrio residencial con tiendas de conveniencia en los alrededores así como varios supermercados, restaurantes, lavanderías. Buenas comunicaciones. Que no tenga ascensor pero es algo que es inevitable dada la arquitectura del lugar. Las escaleras son bastante incómodas para subir y bajar las maletas pero también es algo que no se puede arreglar debido a la arquitectura del lugar. En todo caso algo nimio que no empaña mi percepción muy buena del hostel.
• Kamila (9/5): -
• Anthony (10/5): -
• Yu (10/5): - 房間寬敞，有廚房使用，方便。清潔。房間暖氣很足。 沒有
• Mariana (10/5): - The kitchen and living room is a good space to relax, cook and make friends. Although they changes the kitchen, it's a little bit smaller than in the picture. Still spacious It's not close to the subway, so be aware of that. You can still go everywhere by bus
• Andrea (9/5): - La zona común y la cocina, nuestra habitación era una de las más pequeñas pero tenía lo necesario. El precio de la lavadora y ma secadora es excesivo, mejor hacerlo en una lavandería por mitad de precio.
• Dorian (9/5): Hôtel à espaces partagés, confortable et bien fourni - Hôtel orienté espaces partagés, le tout était bien fourni pour passer un moment détente une fois de retour à l'hôtel. Beaucoup d'espace partagé mais l'ambiance globale n'y était pas vraiment, j'aurais apprécié un peu plus d'échange entre les résidents quitte à être au même endroit.
• Frederic (10/5): - L'emplacement, la propreté des lieux La chambre poir deux personnes était un peu petite mais tout s'est très bien passé
• Isabella Maria (10/5): Bestes Hostel in ganz Kyoto! - Sehr Ruhig, sauber, komfortabel und wunderschön ! Zentral gelegen
• Laia (6/5): -
• Annie (5/5): Déception par rapport aux attentes mais sejour sympa - Assez bien placé, très propre, cuisine à disposition et facile à utiliser L’enregistrement en ligne, la non sympathie du personnel en place, la petitesse des chambres
• Khan (10/5): All good will say there again - Convenient and clean. Nothing to note.
• Storm (8/5): Top - Relaxede keuken, en chille locatie vooral als je fietsen huurt en ruime kamer. De gehorigheid
• Cui (5/5): - Location is ok No service at all
• Marta (10/5): - Az elhelyezkedése, a személyzet rugalmassága, kedvessége, a tisztaság. Nem volt olyan.
• axelle (10/5): Excellent séjour - Les équipements sont excellents, l’établissement est calme et super bien situé.
• DAVID JIAN HONG (8/5): Good for a sleep after a long day visit - Good value for money, walkable to Kyoto station, staffs speak English, customer service was good. Easy to chenk in and out. Our bedroom smell bad, we had to open windows when we went out
• montedori (10/5): -
• Puneeth (8/5): -
• Angelica (8/5): -
• Ignacio (5/5): - Living room reducido. No se corresponde con las fotos. Los baños, con retrete mixto y escasos, 2 para la planta superior que además eran mixtos por mucho que te animen a sentarte para utilizarlo. En la habitación el olor a paja del tatami y esterillas ( que también había), no era agradable
• Angel Elias (10/5): - La ubicación se nos hizo excelente para movernos a todos lados y el trato del personal es excelente a pesar de que uno no los ve nunca je
• Emaly (8/5): Good, basic accommodation in otherwise expensive Kyoto - This is an average accommodation in Kyoto where you get exactly what you pay for. It is a hostel with two levels and all the facilities you would expect or need during your trip. The location is fairly convenient with bus stops nearby, but it is also in the middle of a neighborhood so it is very quiet and peaceful at night. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the place is very clean. The living room area is spacious, and the shower room was large for a hostel. For just under $100 USD per day in Kyoto, we were glad to have a private room and everything we needed. The beds, despite being futons on tatami mats, were quite comfortable with the option to add additional padding underneath. The rooms do have a very strong musty tatami mat smell, which happens when you have a tatami mat room. The front desk is also only staffed for a few hours in the middle of the day, so we didn't see anyone working for the hostel until a couple days in. Not a problem because the hostel really runs itself, but it is definitely not a very social or inviting space. We didn't meet anyone while we were here and people were hardly ever hanging out in the common space. It's a basic place to stay but you should not expect much more out of your experience than a place to sleep, chill, and reset.

• Reina (10/5): - 比較的静かで過ごしやすい。シャワー室利用者のスライドドアの音が夜間するが、それは仕方ないことだしお互い様だ。利用者はルールを守っていて良い空間でした。 ライトがあるところに、蓄光シールを貼ってもらえるといいかもしれない。シールを貼るとその後の管理が大変かもしれないが、使用後の消灯のルールを皆が守ってくれるから、廊下も暗くて、洗面所の明かりがどこかわからなかったみたい。 洗濯機の使い方がわからなくて利用できなかった。もう少し詳しく書いて欲しい。
• CLAIRE (7/5): Chouette - Yuka est formidable Le lieu est cosy simple bien placé La douche est agréable Merci Exigu Odeur de renfermé Mal isolé
• César (9/5): -
• Ana (8/5): Excelente ubicacion - El lugar es bastante céntrico y lugar muy tranquilo, cerca hay un Lawso el cual fue de excelente ayuda, también tiene muy cerca una estación de tren, en esta prefectura nos movimos más en bus y la parada nos quedaba relativamente cerca, por lo que es transporte y comida era ideal para alojarse. La habitación era de tatami, algo que nos gustó mucho, y los futones eran estilo colochones, por lo que eran cómodos. Nos entregaron unas toallas y tenían un olor que nos agradó, parecían como que no habían sido lavadas, y la nevera es compartida por lo que estaba repleta de comida y se sentía un olor un poco desagradable.
• David (5/5): -
• Lucas.M (9/5): - J'ai beaucoup aimé le fait d'être dans un quartier résidentiel, vivre au calme avec les japonais. Petit sento pas trop loin et des ramens perdus dans les rues. Le rapport qualité prix et ouf et on a rencontré d'autres français hyper sympa avec qui on a partagé nos journées le soir autour d'un repas à table. C'est aussi ce qui fait son défaut, on est légèrement loin de la gare de Kyoto mais les bus font le travail. Kyoto à beaucoup de choses à voir à pleins d'endroits en particulier donc vous serez amené à pas mal changer de transport et ça peut vite revenir à un petit billet.
• Mark (9/5): - Prima hostel, vrij nieuw gebouw, met nieuw en schoon sanitair. Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, en onze kamer ( 3 persoons kamer voor twee was comfortabel groot. We sliepen op de grond, maar de matrassen waren dikker dan reguliere futons. De wijk zelf ( Shimabara) is een wandeling waard, met een volks karakter met smalle straatjes, en her een der een hip koffietentje of lunchrestaurant.
• Mary-Anne (8/5): - It was an enjoyable stay but except for the very nice young woman who was there in the morning, everything was diy. It seemed a bit sterile from that point of view, buy one night we had a united nations gathering of travelers around the big table in the common area and that was a wonderful thing!
