- Raquel (7/5): - El personal. Terraza Queda un poco lejos de la estación pero bien conecradacon bus y tren cercanias
- Raquel (7/5): - El trato.el personal super amable y simpático
Buenas terraza.con vista y posibilidad de fumar
Cama cómoda.ducha bien
A 30 min andando estación pero bus y tren te dejan al lado Un poco lejos del centro pero buena comunicación con transporte local de
- Eleanor (7/5): - place was nice beds comfortable. Staff was pretty nice but found it strange that they entered the rooms even in the evenings when guests were checking in A little far from places but overall good for the money

- Juliana (8/5): - The location, cleaness and confort. Everthing is paid. Lockers should be free at least.
- Jérôme (9/5): - Juste à côté du bus et du train.
Personnel sympathique C'est un peu à l'étroit pour passer plusieurs jours
- Naoto (10/5): 京都のゲストハウスに泊まるなら、ここで決まり! - 梅小路京都西駅の側でアクセスが大変よくとても便利
シーツや枕カバー 布団カバーも大変清潔でした
多くの宿泊客が海外のお客さんだと思いますが
皆さんとても礼儀正しく楽しく過ごすことができました
トイレやシャワールームもとても清潔で気持ちよく使うことができました
屋上から京都タワーも見えてとても良かった
キッチンでは無料のコーヒーがいただけたので、とてもおいしかったです ベットが少し揺れやすいのでベッドの上だとちょっと気を使います、ベッドのところに個人用のハンガーが3本ぐらいあればいいなと思いました。
ベッドによってはハンガーがあるところもありますが、ベッドの中にあるわけではないので、このハンガーを使っていいのかどうか少しわかりませんでした。
大きい荷物を置く場所が決められてないので、テープで大まかに置く場所を決めてあれば、気兼ねなく置いておくことができると思いました
各階に男性用トイレと女性用トイレが1つずつしかないので、混む時は少し困りました。
- Vincent (8/5): Would stay again - Friendly owner First night some guest who where loud on entry of the room but that is not the fault of the staff or owner Other nights beter company
- Elena (8/5): -
- Erwan (10/5): -
- yukie (8/5): -
- Mika Vincent (6/5): - Die Lage war super. Es war alles recht schnell zu erreichen und man hatte kaum Fußweg.
Die Dachterrasse war ganz ok, immerhin hatte man da einen schönen Ausblick. Das Personal war super freundlich. Die Betten waren selbst zusammen gezimmert. Die Latschen die man bekommen hat waren wild zusammengewürfelt und wahrscheinlich schon eine ganze Weile ungewaschen, da sie einfach in einem Schrank am Eingang platziert werden nachdem man geht oder das Haus verlässt.
Für ein Handtuch musste man extra zahlen. Die Zimmer brauchten keine Schlüssel und die Duschmatten haben auch schonmal bessere Tage erlebt.

- Thirza (10/5): The best stay for a solo traveler - The people were so nice, and that includes the staff as wel as the other guests The atmosphere was great to get to know new people
- Betty (10/5): - Muy limpio y agradable Creo que cobraban para guardar lss maletas después del checkout . En ningún hospedaje en Japón me quisieron cobrar y me dieron ese servicio gratis
- Jessica (10/5): Great stay, will definitely come back! - One of my favorite locations in Japan so far. Staff made me feel welcome and part of the household. Nothing
- Brandon (10/5): - Nice place
Friendly staff
Good location only a short walk from the station
- AYANO (7/5): -
- June (5/5): Staff is kind n friendly - Yasui No
- Loane (7/5): Good hostel - Nice hostel, affordable. Comfy beds and okay shower facilities. The rooftop is a big plus. Konbini 2 mins away. Bed curtains are more than appreciated. Women dorm is great & secure. Be aware of the train station next to it. Could increase the number of showers/toilets as there's only one per stair.
- Anne (7/5): -
- Tomoya (7/5): -
- TAKAYO (8/5): お得感があった - トイレや洗面台が綺麗で使いやすかった。
キッチンもとても良いです🆗
- Stacie (7/5): - Super friendly staff, everything clean, spacious rooms. The location is a little out the way and down a pretty shady alley; but other than that, has a really nice stay and the staff are SO nice here Location was a bit out the way, my own fault for not googling it
- TOSHIYUKI (8/5): お得に京都ステイができる宿 - 綺麗、清潔。
駅に近く、ロケーションが良い。
その割に安い。 他の同様のドミトリー型ホステルと比べてプライバシーが低い。
ベッドにカーテンはあるものの、上から覗くことができる。
- Sukma (9/5): - I missed the last train and had to do a very last minute booking at 11.30pm and it was graciously accepted. The staff for the night was very friendly and happy to help me with checking in even though I arrived close to midnight. The location is right next to the train station and about 25min walk from kyoto station. The bed, sheets, cases and pillow were clean and as shown in the photos. The bed and pillow was comfy. The night light on the bed i was assigned to was a little dim to see anything and the heater was really warm at night. But these are not big issues.
- Leonardo (8/5): -
- Saskia (8/5): -
- George (10/5): Easy, peaceful, clean and friendly - Staff incredibly nice and friendly and room facilities are as good as it gets Nothing at all
- Sara (9/5): Bel soggiorno a Kyoto,ottimo per fare amicizia - La struttura era molto accogliente e pulita! Comoda e vicina alla stazione metro,nel complesso mi sono trovata bene
- Luz (8/5): Buena relación calidad-precio y ubicación tranquila - La ubicación era bastante céntrica. A unos pasos de la estación de Umekoji-Kyotonishi JR, la cual a su vez está a sólo una parada de la estación de Kyoto.
Tienen servicio de auto check-in en caso llegues muy tarde y te orientan con el paso a paso para no tener problemas.
El personal es muy amable e incluso me prestaron una computadora para avanzar algunos pendientes que tenía. La cocina estaba un poco sucia cuando intenté usarla y se notaba que los otros huéspedes no se preocupaban por reciclar adecuadamente. También los lavaderos de aseo quedaban algo sucios después de que algunas personas los usaran.
Esto es más responsabilidad de los huéspedes que del hostel, pero quizás una limpieza más frecuente podría ayudar.
- Vianca (9/5): Recomendado 10/10 - El lugar es súper limpio, el personal amable y está a pasos de una estación que conecta con todo Kyoto. En la esquina hay un 7/11 y cerca hay muchos supermercados. La ubicación es buenísima. Me gustó todo
- KITA (4/5): 残念 - 値段が安かった 女性専用の部屋の前が談話室で、遅くまで大きな声で男性が喋ったり、食べたりしていた。部屋を出ると何人もの男性がいて,嫌だった。
- Sudha (1/5): Very crowded room with very little space to even move around - They were not friendly on the other hand they were racists and unfairly charged me more than the advertised price and took more cash for taxes
They put the guests with other staff and it was never quiet so barely got any sleep. I will not recommend this place to anyone
- Taiyo (7/5): -
- Amalia (9/5): -
- Ya Hsing (10/5): -
- SAORI (7/5): 安さ重視なら100点 - 駅から近い。清潔感がある。 シャワールームに脱衣カゴが欲しい。
- Donovan (6/5): -
- MartinRuzicka (7/5): Nice stay, I would come back. -
- Marie (8/5): - Super cozy, I didn’t stay long enough to socialize much but everyone was very nice, shower pressure was really nice (and so was provided body wash/shampoo/conditioner) I liked it a lot. Thank you for having me!
- Tomoko (5/5): -
- Yapeng (5/5): -
- Jerrod Paul (10/5): I had a great time here.Spotless clean,walking distance to train,bus stop etc etc - Overall a great experience and value for money,highly recommended to anyone,hospitality was wonderful,terrace was a plus and all the kitchen appliances for your use plus items available to you were great and the owner was a awesome person helping hands to his guests which in every way every aspect.Jerrod from USA/Turkiye/Turkey I can’t think of anything. I truly like the place.
- edward (10/5): Great place to stay - Nice staff
- yasuoka (10/5): オーナーに挨拶出来てよかった! - いつも使っている。
今回は年末であったが、きちんと対応してもらった。 ドライヤーの数が少ないような感じです。
- 나 (10/5): -
- Eglantine (8/5): -
- Deenanath (10/5): - I'm not sure why this place isn't rated higher. I had a nice bed to sleep in, there are enough toilets and bathrooms. You can have your bed linen changed whenever you want. There is a kitchen with a fridge so you can cook your own food. It seems very quiet here, and you have shops and restaurants close by. The nearest train station is 1-2 minutes away. Easy to get around.
I will definitely use the same place when I come back to beautiful Kyoto.
Oh. And free the and coffee. You can tap the water and drink it. It seems like some beds have slightly harder mattresses, but it's a matter of taste what you like.
- Andreas (10/5): Will come back again ! - It was my second stay.
I love the family style atmosphere.
Nice sento near. 7/11, bus, park ans so on.
The rooms are small and the price great. Will come back next November. -
- Joanita (10/5): - Hele aardige mensen. Warm onthaal. Prima, voor een nacht voor mij op doorreis.
- Alvin (9/5): Top pour un hostel - Le personnel est super. C'est propre et calme en tout cas quand j'y étais. Rien
- Nakamura (10/5): -
- Lucy (6/5): -
- Macheda (7/5): -
- GUGLIELMO (8/5): - Really nice overall. Location nice. People nice. The room had so many beds that you could barely walk. And I think it's a bit too expensive.
Both these points I think are typical of Kyoto
- XIN (10/5): If you want to meet different people from all over the world, this place is the best choice. - Clean and connivence. People I met here all friendly and nice.
One JR station from Tokyo station. Really easy to find and one 7-11 on the corner. Also have coffee shop can buy hot set for breakfast. Near JR station is a big garden. Also have many buses route can choose. Not that so noise. The PIN code door not near the road, follow google map to there will go the other door. Luck that day have a guy in lobby. So better make a sign on the door near the road.
- Amanda (9/5): - Localização, cama confortavel e staff amigável A entrada usb da minha cama Não estava funcionando para carregar o celular e tive que carregar na cozinha
- vicky (8/5): -
- Sato (8/5): -
- Emma (8/5): really enjoyed my short stay in Kyoto, bus & convenience store around - the opened-kitchen to make meetings with others easier
and the curtains around the bed made sleep more comfortable
- Zhenyu (8/5): -
- Loren Rey (9/5): - La amabilidad del personal me gustó mucho,la limpieza y la cercanía a la estación del tren.
- Connie (7/5): People are very nice - Clean. Family style. Too tiny. Beds too small too lower to each other.
- WENLING (8/5): 遇到臺灣來的小幫手,是獨旅多日說最多話的一天。埃及人的老闆很熱情 - 位置方便,梅小路公園散步很舒服
去嵐山只要15分鐘
床很舒適 雖然混合房上鋪的使用者打呼聲很多,還好我有帶耳塞
希望下次預定的是女性專用房間
- Mayumi (1/5): -
- 玉萍 (10/5): - 離JR梅小路京都西站出口很近,缺點是隔音不太好,怕吵的人,要考量,其於都不錯
- MEI-LIEN (9/5): 整體而言是好的,我住的算舒服。 - 服務親切,可以寄放行李,很乾淨,位置優越。離JR、公車、公園、7-11很近,但離主要景點有些距離,需要搭車出去,性價比還是不錯的。 火車經過有點影響,不過夠累就睡得很好🤣,床鋪有點聲音,室友如果不安穩,就會被吵到。
- bayrav (9/5): Dinlendirici, Japonya gezisinde kendiniz toparlayıp, tekrar geziye devam edebileceğiniz bir yer - Konumu ulaşım, yemek, ihtiyaçlar için çok rahattı. Hizmet, iletişim çok iyiydi. Sessizlik diye özel talep etmedim. Sessiz bir yerdi. 4 kişilik bayanlar odasında kaldım. Aile ortamında kalmış gibi rahat ettiğim bir yerdi. Temizlik iyiydi. Ranzalarda priz kullanımında zorlandım. Prize takamadım. Arsa kalan prizi kullandım.
- steve (8/5): Overall good stay, met some nice people - Good location, but right next to train tracks, maybe use earplugs. 7-11 and a good cafe and other restaurants very close. Owner is friendly. Nice rooftop area. Common area/kitchen is small.
- Radzi (10/5): -
- Jennifer (9/5): - Alle Gäste und der Besitzer waren super nett.
- Chalumbira (6/5): -
- susan (10/5): -
- Duluu (9/5): -
- Amit (10/5): - Excellent staff and owner
Also good rooms and facilities
- PoYu (8/5): -
- Maria (10/5): - - Bra läge. Nära JR-station.
- Vänlig ägare. Många duschar och toaletter.
- Fin takterass.
- Fanns is att ta i köket för att kunna dricka kranvattnet.
- I sovsalarna var det bekväma sängar. Draperi du kunde dra för hela vägen runt din egen säng. Stort plus! Lakan ingår (ej handduk). Ej frukost.
- Laddningsstation i din säng.
- Finns möjlighet att hyra ett litet låsbart skåp mot deposition. Möjlighet att även hyra handduk. Städningen kunde varit lite oftare i duscharna.ingpt schampo, balsam och tvål.
Önskvärt med möjligheten att kunna hyra större skåp.
Handduk hade varit trevligt om det ingått.
- DKS07 (8/5): - Freundlich. Unkompliziert. Einfach. Terrasse auf dem Dach. Liegt nicht 3 "Minuten vom Bahnhof entfernt - zumindest nicht zu Fuß, sondern 5 Minuten mit dem Zug vom Bahnhof Kyoto entfernt.
- Laura (5/5): -
- Aoki (10/5): 【内なる花】を咲かせましょう! - アクセス、便利でした。 特になし。
- runze (5/5): - 员工小姐姐是香港人,会说中文让人觉得很亲切。 香港的员工小姐姐很好,隔壁床很吵(那个人不睡觉一整夜都在收拾行李非常吵)我们整个屋子的人都被她吵的一整晚没睡,但也是一种体验 🙂虽然需要自己铺床单,但也是一种体验。还是不错的。
- Arda Burak (10/5): - Amazing place, very kind and funny owner and staff. Very clean and comfortable. 10/10 would come again.
- yuqi (9/5): staff有友善这一点真的很加分,下次还会来的 - 我觉得床单走廊卫生间全部真的挺干净的,而且通风也很好房间里面完全没有异味。并离车站非常的近。职员还有客人经常和我搭话,非常有友善,并且有一个可以说中文的staff。 我的床位应该是整个酒店离铁道最近的床位,再加上晚上睡觉的时候旁边有人发出噪声(不是酒店的问题),两个结合直接把我从4:00吵醒了。那个人睡觉的时候发出了很奇怪的声音,不止我一个人被吵醒了。虽然不是酒店的问题,但是大家在选择合租的时候需要考虑到这一点。
- HARAKAWA (8/5): -
- YU-JEN (1/5): 體驗非常糟糕 - 無 1.沒有電梯要自己扛行李,下雨天會是一場災難
2.在鐵道旁,聲音真的很大聲
3.老闆講話讓人感覺不太舒服
4.洗漱環境在公共區域非常奇怪
5.公共區域晚上會變成兩個位子,白天不敢大聲洗漱
6.不能免費寄放行李,寄放一天要500日幣,建議寄放在JR車站,一天700日幣,還不用花車錢回去拿
- みつや (9/5): - フレンドリーで心地良かったです。 特になし
- qiulu (1/5): - 床比较差,整晚听着上铺翻身的声音
- Max (8/5): -
- Daniel (3/5): - Casi nada me gustó.
La habitación de 6 era demasiado pequeña, sin lockers, las camas hacian ruido cada vez que hacias el mínimo movimiento.
La ubicación no es mala, pero hay otros mejor ubicados por la mitad de precio.
Este es caro sin ningún sentido. Lo peor era que las 4 noches que estuve había gente durmiendo en la cocina.
Si ibas a la noche o querías tomar un café a la mañana tenías ahí a 2 personas durmiendo en el piso una a cada lado de la mesa.
Una de las noches había tambien alguien durmiendo en la recepcion, en el piso.
- Michelle Dayana (10/5): - The location was pretty easy to find, also got to meet new people :) N/A
- 桑原 (5/5): 安宿はこの程度と思うべし。 - 建物入口の靴箱あたりがとにかく悪臭。宿泊者のスニーカーが問題と推測したが。
共有スペースの1F3Fともに 就寝者がいて使用できなかった。
