- Andreas (9/5): - 3泊で泊まらせていただいた。駅から約3分、ゲストハウスのすぐ手前にバス停もあり、周辺にコンビニやスタバなどがあってアクセスがとてもよかった。部屋も快適でおしゃれだった。ほとんど出かけてはいたが、共有スペースに設備が揃っていて、ゆっくりしたい時にも余裕でゲストハウスに過ごせそう。オーナーのシンさんがいろいろ対応してくれて、ローカルな情報も教えてくれたありがたい!
- Freddy (10/5): Extraordinaire, pleins de mignonnes attentions - Absolument tout ! Le design, la qualité des équipements, le soin apporté pour que le séjour se passe très bien. Shin est quelqu’un d’extraordinaire comme nous ne sommes pas prêt de retrouver. Il nous a réceptionné nos valises et nous les as même déposées à notre prochain hôtel à Osaka. Toutes ses petites attentions ont rendu ce séjour parfait. Je recommande cet établissement à 1000%
- Catherine (10/5): A very comfortable stay in a convenient location - A spotless and beautifully comfortable room in a very convenient location – not far from Kyoto’s main station or from the Gion area, making it very useful for seeing Kyoto’s many sights, which are very dispersed. And Shin, the owner, is extremely helpful – always available for any questions, and ensured my laundry was taken care of before I left, which I really appreciated. It was also calm and quiet – I slept so well there! And there’s a communal kitchen and living room area, which is very useful for late suppers or storing breakfast overnight.
- Lu (10/5): Shin is an incredibly welcoming host and went out of his way to make sure that my stay was special. Cannot recommend thi - Incredibly clean, and great appliances! If you’ve heard of it, they have Refa shower heads and blow dryers, and all faucets/toilets/doors are automatic. Be aware that the stairs are steep! But Shin helped me carry my luggage up and down for check in and out
- McGrath (10/5): Amazing place to stay in Kyoto with a wonderful host! - It was wonderful modern, clean, quiet and spacious! Shin is an amazing host who outdoes himself making his guests comfortable, he did our washing for us which was so helpful and we’re all folded in our room at the end of the stay! He gave us a lovely postcard and matcha candy at the end which was very sweet, definitely stay here if in Kyoto, it’s easy to get around the city from here with bus stops outside the entrance and trains a few minute walk away.
- Konrad (10/5): You feel like at home - You feel like at home
- Keiji (9/5): -
- Yanis (10/5): - Shin nous acceuille parfaitement, et donne de son maximum pour s'assurer que notre séjour soit parfait.
Le lieu est propre, bien équipé, parfait pour s'y reposer après une longue journée.
Je recommande ! Ras
- Estelle (10/5): Perfect host - Thank you very much for your kindness, your consideration and patience. The best host I’ve ever met N/A :)
- Christopher (10/5): This is a comfortable, clean place with a very friendly staff and great amenities. - This is the best place I stayed in Japan Nothing
- Denisa (10/5): One more time.. Thank you - This accommodation was absolutely amazing. Every detail was well thought out, everything was clean and comfortable.
Communication with Mr. Shin was perfect, he was very kind and helpful during our stay. He also offered us to contact him in case of any trouble during our stay in Japan.
We will definitely recommend this accommodation to people we know who are coming to Kyoto. We will definitely book this place again when we return to Japan.
- Charmaine (10/5): The best stay! 🤩 - The place was spotless and comfortable to stay in. All the other guests were respectful and friendly. The hostel is conveniently located, with a bus stop right out in front and takes only a 5 minute walk to a JR station. On top of all that, the owner Shin is by far the kindest and most gracious host I’ve encountered so far in my travels. He took great care to go above and beyond to make all his guests feel welcomed and taken care of. I will be staying here whenever I come back to Kyoto 😊 Nothing!
- Bingqing (10/5): Really friendly and helpful staff (Shin san) . Feels like a home staying without any issues - 10/10 cleannesses
You could make your own meals with modern kitchen appliances including coffee machine
Less crowded than a normal hostel (max like 6 ppl staying) easy to get social around
Staying like home - well designed townhouse with shared spaces It’s located on a main road in front of a bus station to central Kyoto (easy access) but it could be a bit noisy at night time because of traffic if you are a lighter sleeper
- Mats (10/5): Simply wonderful for short or long stays - SHIN has a cool brutalistic interior style with luxurious rooms and facilities which are cleaned every single day. The people that work there are simply amazing, caring and will help you out as much as you need.
The location is nice and quiet next to a station, a 7-eleven, in front of a Uniqlo, close to some good restaurants and a short bus drive away from the city centre.
For recommendations and even cultural city tours (I had a really fun one), just ask and they will probably provide. Nothing
- Alena (10/5): Amazing place - Honestly everything was just perfect. I literally fell in love with this place :)
Shinichi is wonderful person. He was really caring and made my stay soooo comfy. Location is also pretty good, it’s just 2 stops by train from Kyoto station. You can also use a bus or go by foot.
Looking forward to go back there ❤️ Nothing!!
- Lia (10/5): PERFECTION - I recently stayed at this place and it was genuinely one of the best experiences I’ve ever had — and I’ve traveled a lot. Everything about this place was a 10 out of 10.
Shin, the host, was incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful. He made sure every detail was perfect, and it truly showed. The space was immaculately clean and beautifully designed — every corner felt carefully curated and welcoming it a small group of people. The interior design was stunning, and the whole place smelled fresh and spotless.
I honestly felt at home here. I absolutely loved my stay and I’m definitely coming back the next time I’m in Kyoto. I genuienly felt lucky to stay here.
Thank you so much, Shin, for an unforgettable experience!
- Sebastian (10/5): Happy to come back on another occasion. - Clean and stylish place and very helpful host. Difficult to say, perhaps the street in front.
- Jana (8/5): -
- Maria del Carmen (10/5): Hidden gem. Wonderful stay at SHIN - Everything! It was a wonderful stay. The bed was really comfortable, the hostel was clean and the location convenient (there are many places to eat such as Sushiro, MOS Burger or Ramen nearby!). Inside of my room there was a mirror and a place to wash my face or brush my teeth, that was also tremendously helpful at night and in the morning.
I didn't use the kitchen, but it is well equipped and everything was ready for me in case I needed it.
The access is very simple, it easy to go in and out, no matter the time. Also, each room's door has a sturdy lock, so it feels very safe (not that it was necessary, but I mention this in case it's anyone's concern).
The host is incredibly kind, attentive, friendly and helpful. I had a special request for my stay and he made sure that I had everything I needed on time. Also, he speaks fluent English, so there weren't any communication problems at all. He was there on time at checkout to see me out and to help me with my luggage.
There is a bus station and a train station nearby, so it is easy to move around.
Thank you, Shin, for a wonderful stay!! I hope to stay here again soon. There was nothing that I didn't like, everything was truly comfortable.
- Violetta (10/5): - We were so happy to stay at this place! The hostel looks very stylish and is designed in a smart and comfortable way. Our room had a sink and a hair dryer, and it was also a pleasure to use the shared spaces.
The host was incredibly kind — he welcomed us and allowed us to check in early in the morning, and later helped us send our luggage through Yamato Transport when we were leaving.
Overall, we had a truly wonderful experience. Thank you so much, Shin-san — we hope to come back one day!
- Paco (10/5): - Shin est super accueillant et aux petits soins, c’est très agréable !
L’hôtel est d’une propreté irréprochable tant pour les espaces privatifs que communs.
Les équipements sont vraiment top, nous avons profité de la cuisine équipée pour manger tous les matins et quelques soirs (il y a un supermarché tout près de l’hôtel).
L’hôtel est situé proche d’une station JR qui va directement à la gare de Kyoto, pratique dans une ville où les transports en commun sont pour le moins compliqués..! La route sur laquelle donne la chambre où nous dormions est particulièrement bruyante mais on s’y fait et on y passe de bonnes nuits ! À noter qu’en revanche, on n’est jamais dérangé par les bruits intérieurs à l’hôtel (très peu de chambres)
- FREDERIK DAVID (10/5): - Absolut amazing host and rooms were clean and cleaned daily. Area is near an train station, but it’s still a little bit remote from downtown.
- 吳芳淑 (10/5): - 無敵親切的shin~~貼心的服務讓人感到很溫暖,住宿空間極度有潔癖,每一項設備都跟新的一樣,幾乎都是自動化,入住時親自迎接~~離開時還贈送日本小禮物,讓人賓至如歸 近乎完美
- Josh (10/5): Excellent host and apartment! - Spacious modern apartment next to a train station. Perfect for a comfortable stay in Kyoto. Shin the host is wonderful and goes above and beyond. He helped us with local knowledge and ensured we had the best experience. Would highly recommend. Nothing, everything was excellent.
- Kimberlee (10/5): Exceptional Hostel 😍 - Loved the homie feel of this hostel. Very clean, modern and partical. Shin was an exceptional host, always available, explained everything very well and great English communication. I forgot my jewelry at the hostel and he went out of his way to drop it off to me before I left Kyoto. I would love to stay here again in the future and will be recommending it to friends and family. Perfect for solo travellers. I wished to stay longer, no complaints
- Anna Linette (9/5): - Het was schoon en de eigenaar Shin is super vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
- Leiwakabessy (10/5): A comfortable, spotless, and welcoming stay with a fantastic host in a great Kyoto location. - The location was perfect — just a 10-minute subway ride from Kyoto Station with a great bus connection to the city center. Shin was an amazing host: friendly, helpful, and always available when needed. The room was modern, comfortable, and very clean. Nothing — everything was excellent and well taken care of.
- flowmr (10/5): - Sehr netter Gastgeber. Hat unser Gepäck bis zum Zimmer getragen und unsere Wäsche gewaschen.
- Shengtong (10/5): -
- Vincent (9/5): -
- CHUNJU (10/5): - 房間提供Refa 吹風機👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
- Hong Feng Kong (10/5): - Shin San is very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. The property has everything you need for a pleasant stay and is conveniently located, with a train station and bus stop nearby. I felt very comfortable and well taken care of throughout my stay.
- Daniela (10/5): -
- Christy (10/5): Home away from home in Kyoto - If you get the chance to stay at Shin’s place, you should grab it with both hands! What a beautiful place to stay that is well taken care of. Everything is spotless and functional. Shin is extremely kind and really looks after his guests. What a lovely experience. Couldn’t recommend it enough. Nothing, everything was brilliant.
- Mayron (10/5): Incredible host - the host was incredible from start to end. We were only staying 2 nights so we had little time in Kyoto so he offered to do our laundry so we don't spend time on the laundry itself. He also offered us the towels for free. The place is very nicely situated. There is an excellent sushi train restaurant in the other side of the road, the train station is at 2 minutes at foot and an onsen is also at less than 10 minutes on foot. Very nice place.
- Suribey (10/5): Great place and good localisation. - Everything !
Very nice place.
- Subhodeep (9/5): Superb -
- Ziggy (10/5): Beautiful place and the owner is just amazing! Highly recommend! -
- Sunny (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gaia (10/5): Amazing! - This place is awesome! Shin, the owner of the place, is caring and super fun, such a nice person. He makes you feel at home. He takes the time to explain and answer all your questions. The hostel is EXTREMELY clean and meticulously designed. I wish I stayed longer! I can just recommend. See you soon Shin!!
- Steven (10/5): Very amazing, I was very happy to have stayed there. I felt comfortable and accommodated. - The location is very close to public transportation resources like the bus stop and metro station, which made it easy to get around. The hostel was very clean, not very crowded, and very comfortable. The staff were really nice and accommodating. And the hostel's aesthetic design was relaxing. All the amenities were new and clean too. The street was a bit busy, but that was to be expected. I was happy to have received a room with a window on the opposite side of the street. Although the rooftop could get loud from cars, it wasn't a problem because of how close the stay was to public transport. Inside the building it was not noisy.
- Oshi (10/5): Fantastic host, comfortable room, great facilities - Shin was a fantastic host - helping me throughout my stay and making me feel extremely welcome. He has fantastic English and goes above and beyond with everything he does. The room was unbelievably clean and the bed was comfortable. The shared kitchen was always spotless and had all the equipment you would need (and complimentary coffee!). While not close to the main attractions in Kyoto, the accommodation is a two minute walk from the Metro so there is no real issue.
- Haian (10/5): Best Hospitality in Kyoto! At an extremely affordable price! - I recently stayed 10 days at SHIN and all I can say is I was blown away by the host’s (Shin) hospitality and attention to detail.
From the moment I checked in, to the moment I checked out, along with local delivery of a forgotten item, Shin had taken care of everything.
The room I stayed in (bunk room) was a good size for one or two lightly packed travellers. All shared spaces were well maintained and kept spotless.
Getting around is very convenient, with a JR train station 3-5 mins away, and also the city bus stop right in front of the hotel.
Only thing to note, is that the stairs are a bit steep, so something to consider for those that may have difficulty getting up or down.
- Nina (10/5): Unique stay at personalized space - Special space accurately designed with maximum attention to details. Very safe and comfortable.
Great kitchen with all you need and your personal drawer with glassware.
Common space with video projector. I wish to watch some Japanese movie next time with other guests :)
Two common bathrooms for three rooms. Never busy.
Located in a local district which I personally liked as it gives you a possibility to see local vibe a bit and take a rest from tourist crowds. 15-20 minutes by bus and you are back in a melting pot.
And of course the hosts… Shin and Kenichi are very sympathetic and welcoming guys. They make you accommodated and give you all the tips you need.
You immediately feel like you visit friends. I really appreciated it being solo traveler in Kyoto.
All the luck to you, Shin. Hope to have a possibility to come to your place again one day.
- Price (10/5): I loved it here. It was private, away from the mobs of tourists and very close to public transportation. - It is immaculate. It is very comfortable. Shin goes out of his way to make hi guests feel at home and to accommodate any requests. It’s a bit far from downtown, but because of that, closer to other shrines and tourist sites.
- Emma (10/5): Perfect hostel - The host, Shin, was awesome. He keeps the whole hostel spotless, including the kitchen and bathroom thanks to the very regular cleaning. He went above and beyond for me during my long stay, making sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Thank you so much Shin!!
The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to cook. I especially appreciated having my own cutlery and dishes in their own drawer.
The bath is amazing, long enough to properly lie down and relax in!
The bed was really comfortable, and the big drawers under the bed were great for storing my clothes during my super long stay. In general the room was really good for a long stay, with a desk and a vanity so I could brush my teeth etc. without leaving the room. Also had amazing views from the window when it snowed!
The location is great, with really easy access to Kyoto station and lots of bus stops. There's a really cute bakery right around the corner and lots of nice cafes within walking distance around the neighbourhood. Plus, uniqlo and daiso are right across the road! Nothing, I'll definitely be staying again next time I'm in Kyoto.
- Veronika (9/5): Amazing - The owner is a very kind and helpful man. The property is very modern and comfortable.
- Lê (10/5): Host Shin-san is incredibly friendly and enthusiastic. He waited for me at the gate when I arrived and provided great su -
- Devin (10/5): Win with Shin - The property has been very clean, and this is the first and most important thing in a hostel. The entire hotel is very modern and full of facilities. The owner is an exceptional guy and he became my friend immediately.
I strongly suggest this place!
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - Shin was extremely helpful and will be coming back. n/a
- Benjamin (10/5): I highly recommend staying here! - The host, Shin-san, is very knowledgeable and kind, and he speaks great English. The beds, room and facilities are fantastic - very clean,organized and comfortable. Finally, the location makes travel around Kyoto very easy, as its only a few minutes walk from the train station.
- Thao (10/5): I have really enjoyed staying at SHIN! The owner Shin was super kind and helpful, I would definitely recommend staying h - My room was spacious and so comfortable. Very cool looking too. The shared parts of the house were cleaned daily but because the capacity is smaller it never really got dirty. It was very convenient for me. The location isn’t exactly central but there are a bus and metro stops nearby and it’s about 15min ride from the main shopping street. So not necessarily an issue!
- Hallet (10/5): This place is a gem - The accommodation was beautiful, clean, and spacious. I liked the location, which was a bit remote but still a short bus ride from the touristy places. Shin, the host, is such a kind person. He runs his hostel with lots of care and is always available in case of questions. I can only recommend this place.
- Tyler (10/5): Comfortable stay in great location with an amazing host! - Loved our stay here! Interesting and well-kept space with many little conveniences. Excellent location convenient to the train, lots of restaurants and 7-Eleven within walking distance. Best of all, Shin-san was an excellent host. He gave us lots of advice on things to do, was so friendly and fun to chat with, and even washed and folded a load of laundry for us. Nothing!
- Natalia (10/5): Hidden gem! - This place is better than in looks on the pictures! I would say it’s a hidden technological gem (everything is automated, even doors closes by themselves) plus there is home warm atmosphere. Shin - owner of the place was extremely nice to us and it feels that the place was made with love
We are looking forward to come back to Kyoto and stay here again Nothing apart of narrowed stairs (might be a problem for someone)
- Fi (10/5): More than exceptional ! - Our stay at Shin Kyoto was absolutely incredible! The place itself is beautiful, comfortable, perfectly located, and incredibly clean. What truly made it special was Shin, the owner. Shin is incredibly friendly, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure his guests have a memorable experience. His warm hospitality made us feel right at home, and he was always available for any questions or recommendations we needed. Staying here felt like staying with a friend! Highly recommend to anyone visiting – it’s a five-star experience. Thank you, Shin, for making our trip unforgettable!
- Abigail (8/5): Comfortable stay in a quiet neighbourhood - Very comfortable stay. Whole place is kitted out with the highest specifications. Comfortable bed and room has everything you need. Shin himself is very helpful and thorough in providing anything you need. Honestly, nothing I didn’t like! Perhaps for some people location doesn’t have much going on but I liked that it’s quieter and away from the crowds
- Ken (10/5): Great stay, great host, would recommend! - Everything, the toilets were clean, shower was great, bed was very comfy, and everything being automatic definitely helped modernize this even more. If i am in kyoto again I will book with SHIN! Great host by the way, very informative and a cool person to get to know! The steps, but its not that big of an issue, you'll be able to get used to the stairs after 3 nights 😂
- Katarina (8/5): Very good - Very nice and attentive owner who made us feel welcome and the visit comfortable. Great facilities with everything a traveller could need. Comfortable beds and clean spaces.
- Nathan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Zuzana (10/5): Better than most hotels - It was really clean and stylish and almost everything was automated! You will get a chance to meet an owner who will give you instructions on how to behave and will give you any advice or help needed. The property is being taken care of care about every day so even tho bathroom and common space are shared they were all perfectly clean and supplied.
- Louie (10/5): Exceptional - During my 18 days in Japan, staying with Shin in Kyoto was truly one of the highlights. Shin is an incredibly sweet and gracious host, making our short stay feel like home. He went above and beyond to offer thoughtful recommendations for exploring the city, always with genuine kindness and warmth. If you're looking for a place to stay in Kyoto, I can't recommend Shin highly enough. It's a perfect choice for anyone seeking a welcoming and memorable experience. There is nothing that I disliked about my stay at Shin.
- Che (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peyton (10/5): A beautifully crafted and well thought-out hostel, 10/10! - Everything! Shin the host was amazing and very welcoming. Helping with baggage on arrival and departure. State of the art technology throughout the accomodation which was all explained on arrival. Very spacious room. Bed and pillows were very comfortable, perfect for the weary traveler. Bus stop right outside and train station just across the road. Very clean facilities also. Fantastic stay! Absolutely nothing to dislike, just be careful on the stairs!
- Judd (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alexandra (10/5): This hostel was by far the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in! - We liked everything about the place! The facilities were amazing, the style was cool and the owner Shin was so helpful and welcoming, more than any other place we stayed at during our time in Japan! He has really put his heart and soul into the place and went above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.
- Mitchell (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Kyoto - Great location close to multiple transport options and restaurants. It’s located in a quieter part of Kyoto that was great if you want to get away from the more touristy areas.
Shin was also fantastic to talk to and provided heaps of information about the local area and how to get around.
I can’t recommend the property enough and would happily stay there again.
- Joris (10/5): Exceptional - Shinichi is the best host you can wish for! He will help you make the best out of your stay in Kyoto.
The accommodation is very clean and modern.
- Merle (10/5): The stay was really great and the host was very friendly and helpful. - Everything’s was very clean and everything you needed was at your disposal The location was hard to find on google maps
- Katarina (10/5): If you stay in Kyoto, staying with SHIN is a little gem. - Shin is an exceptional kind, generous and professional host, he went beyond to make me feel comfortable, I’ve never experienced such an hospitality in any Hostel. The facility is a little gem in Kyoto and I feel so lucky that I found it. Bus and JR line are just around the corner. If I ever come back to Kyoto, I will definitely come back, thank you Shin!!! Nothing to add, it’s been amazing.
- Blair (10/5): Industrial chic. Super clean and modern, convenient location, kind staff - Located close to public transport, and close to Kyoto station (2 stops away). The bed was super comfy, the amenities were super clean and modern, there’s a full sized kitchen if you want to cook, and a shared space with a projector screen and a cute rooftop.
Shin (the owner/manager) goes above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable. His English is great and gave me tips on cafes and restaurants in Kyoto as well as how to navigate around Kyoto (it was my first time there so very helpful). While I did not have a problem with this I’m only mentioning it re accessibility. This property features steep/narrow stairs and some people may have trouble using them. I’m 6’6/198cm tall and took it slowly and had no problem.
- César (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mengxin (10/5): It was an exceptional experience and I wish I had spent more days in Kyoto there. Shin is super patient and helpful, and - Shin’s property is super modern, well-equipped, clean & tidy, and right next to a bus stop and JR station. Shin is also an extraordinary host that goes above and beyond in helping his guests. Can’t recommend enough!!! Nothing not to like!
- July (10/5): Exceptional - Great location not far from Kyoto station, hostel was on a busy street where you could find 7 eleven, curry restaurant/fast food, uniqlo across the street and etc.
Unexpectedly, I had a pretty big room in this hostel because in japan I think it's really rare to find one.
Super clean, cool assets such as coffee machine, projector in the kitchen, everything is really easy to use.
Nice and polite host, Shin, thank you for the stay, I'll definitely come back)
Also, this hostel really stands out when you're looking for where to stay. It has this great urbanistic look, which I really appreciate.
- Harmoni (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ute (10/5): Absolutely recommendable. - The owner Shin is an extremly nice and accomodating. He helps you wherever he can. 5 Stars for him. Everything top!!
