Guest Reviews

• Rebekka (4/5): Leider in meinem Fall Betrug und null Entgegenkommen vom Anbieter - Shönes Haus mit sehr bequemen Betten und sauberem Bad und Küche, die Dame, die dort putzt, ist ganz reizend. Zum Zeitpunkt meiner Buchung wurden Zimmer mit Doppelbetten angeboten, deswegen habe ich gebucht. Wir bekamen Einzelbetten, die sich auch nicht zusammenschieben ließen. Mein Partner ist groß, es gibt einen Grund, warum wir so was buchen. Aufgrund der Kurzfristigkeit waren wir bereit, eine Nacht dort zu schlafen und sie zu bezahlen, haben aber um Stornierung der Folgenächte gebeten. Darauf ließ sich der Besitzer nicht ein. Im Beschwerdeprozess bei booking.com hat er dann die Infos zum Zimmer verändert, so dass booking meine Beschwerde erst als haltlos abgetan hat; allerdings habe ich einen Screenshot von der Buchung gemacht und kann meinen Vorwurf beweisen. Die Unterkunft hat nur Einzelbetten, was ja nicht schlimm ist, aber es war etwas anderes angegeben. Ich habe unter falschen Tatsachen gebucht, bezahlt und der Anbieter rückt das (nicht wenige) Geld nicht mehr heraus. Das ist Betrug der feinsten Sorte. Wir reisen seit einem halben Jahr durch Asien und zum ersten Mal über den Tisch gezogen werden wir ausgerechnet in Japan. Das war unerwartet.

• Jason Lee (9/5): A peaceful and clean stay! ^_^ - Exceptional stay! The entire place, including the bathrooms, was kept spotless. I especially loved the kitchen—it was perfect for preparing meals and enjoying coffee or tea. The environment was very quiet, ensuring a restful sleep and a relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful and clean stay!
• MIKA (10/5): -
• Isabelle (7/5): Une ghest house tranquille à la jolie déco - La déco un peu vintage, le confort de la literie. Pas d’isolation phonique et un quartier hyper calme où les touristes ne se sentent pas trop bienvenus.
• Fabio Yusuke (10/5): -
• Mky Rivas (10/5): Más que recomendable - La casa es muy linda, la cocina muy bien equipada y las instalaciones son muy cómodas.
• Patrick (8/5): -
• Sara (10/5): - Tutto pulito ed efficiente, letti comodissimi Non è molto vicino a mio parere ai maggiori punti di interesse, d’altra parte a Kyoto le principali attrazioni sono in zone periferiche
• Chloé (9/5): -
• Nadia (10/5): - The bathtub and the setup of downstairs Nothing. Everything was wonderful.
• 佳恬 (10/5): -
• Naoki (7/5): -
• Floriane (10/5): - Es un muy buen lugar, acogedor, la tina está increíble, la ubicación también es buena, hay transporte público cerca.

• Marie (10/5): Very good price / quality service. I recommend this establishment for groups but also if you are solo travelers. - Bathroom and restroom were very clean ! There was even shower gel and shampoo. The beds were really comfortable. Nothing

• Qing (9/5): -
• Li (10/5): -
• Mehpare (8/5): - Paylaşımlı oda çok dar ama ev çok güzel ve temiz
• JIALAN (9/5): - 很安静，位置还是不错的，离车站不远
• SANA (5/5): - 簡単にチェックイン、チェックアウトが出来ます。 タオルや歯ブラシ、パジャマ等は各自持参 隣人もいるのでかなり静かな場所でした。 廊下が狭く階段が急なのでキャリーケースやベビーカーを持ち上げる際は気を付けて下さい。 シャワーの温度が急に冷たくなり、何度も変えても上がらず12月の夜の冷水シャワーを浴びることになってしまいました。 鏡も個室にはありません、持参しましょう 共用キッチンスペースの布巾や、洗面所のタオルなどが変える頻度が遅い？？ キッチンスペースの布巾がかなり匂いがしたので使わずキッチンペーパーを使用しました。 声は丸聞こえで１階から２階の声がしやすいです。 会話は静かにするべきですね。
• Patil (9/5): - Towel size, no hot water at night
• Monica (10/5): -
• Niccolò (10/5): -
• Quinn (10/5): Incredibly nice hostel, nice location, wonderful staff! - The building is very nice. It's in a quiet neighborhood and not that far from a train station (maybe a 10-15 minute walk, but it's nice). The showers are wonderful although I wish they gave you bigger towels. The cleaning staff I met was incredibly kind and charming and he was incredibly polite and nice to talk to. He should get a raise. Everything was always in great condition. The only negative is the towel they give you is essentially a hand towel. It's very small so if you're a larger person or have a lot of hair to dry it's not big enough.
• YOSHIMITSU (7/5): まずまず -
• Clyde (7/5): Great facilities and beds, inconvenient model and nonexistent staff. - Great facilities, great beds, very clean, water was hot and strong. No staff on site. They charged an additional ¥200 per person due to a "guest tax" they claim every hotel pays. Even if it's real it's deceptive not to mention this on the listing. They also are the only accomodation I've ever stayed at that would not allow us to keep our bags on site until we could check into our next place later in the day. It seemed as if they went out of their way to make everything as inconvenient as possible.
• Ana Sofia (10/5): - Um alojamento bastante completo e limpo. Até a cozinha está equipada, não lhe falta nada. Gostei muito da experiência em geral!
• Charlie (5/5): Odd stay with pros and cons - It was really modern and comfy on the inside, we were in the dorm and the beds were super comfy. The WiFi was fast and when I had an issue after checking out, the host was responsive and let me back into the property at short notice. It’s not really near anything, you have to at least get one bus (usually two) to go anywhere. We also saw no members of staff the whole time we were there. We arrived at 3.30pm and hadn’t received instructions on how to get into the building, meaning we were stood outside in the rain for half an hour trying to contact someone. Eventually this random fella came out of a door nearby and had our booking details on his phone, he just let us in the property then said nothing and left. They also changed the entry code half way through and some residents didn’t receive it, leaving them knocking on the door at 4am (through no fault of their own). There’s no lock on the dorm room (there is a locker though) which isn’t a massive deal in Japan but would be nice to have. The whole place felt a bit lifeless and jarring, because on the shell it’s a really nice property, but just a bit eery and in a really quiet part of Kyoto.
• Tjana (6/5): -
• Pia (6/5): Helt ok. - Sängarna var bekväma och det var rimligt pris. För att vara et hostel var det ganska rent och bra dusch och bad. En riktigt bra restaurang nära; Mr Guyosa. Det var väldigt lyhört. Ingen tvättmaskin. tyvärr Och något långt borta från busshållplats.
• Mika (8/5): - 清潔で機能的で快適に過ごせました 共有の調理スペースがある 他のお部屋の音が響きやすい事
• Takata (7/5): 想像通り良かった - なし なし
• Pauline (8/5): -
• akira (5/5): 他のホステルを探して諦めかけた - マットが厚く寝心地が良かった　湯船に入れた チェックインの説明が他の言語でわからなかった　確認も時間がかかり何度もホステルまで足を運んでやっと開錠出来たが説明不足と何かあったら場合の連絡先に不備
• Huguescharles (10/5): - Niveau équipement c'est le top de ce qu'on peut trouver à Kyoto et l'endroit est très propre
• Engin (10/5): Premium - Einfach Top das Hostel. Sehr große Betten, sehr gutes Bad, voll ausgestattete Küche, extrem ruhig auch die Umgebung, sehr nah an Bus und Supermarkt.
• Olivia (8/5): -
• Mireia (10/5): Excelente sitio en Kyoto - Muchas gracias, ha sido una gran experiencia estar en este alojamiento. Los baños, lo mejor, las duchas, excelentes. Se necesita entrar con un código, y nosotros no teníamos internet en el móbil, tuvimos que ir al supermercado a conectarnos. Es mejor si si pudiera enviar la contraseña del wifi antes. Y otra cosa, poned toallas grandes, que son muy pequeñas. *El alojamiento está lejos del centro, se tiene que tomar bus cada día.
• RYUTA (10/5): -
• Mohammed shifan (4/5): Stay is good but not with family or friends - I like the need and tidyness but i didn’t saw the receptionist also it was very strict u cant speak loudly and no smoking anywhere from the neighbourhood very strict Not comfortable and very far from city centre
• Louck (8/5): 良い宿でした - 常に整理整頓が保たれてて、使いやすかったです。 フェイスタオルでバスルームの床を拭く宿泊者がいて ちょっと嫌な気分になりました。
• Joy (10/5): - 浴室很乾淨又大間，廚房很乾淨，床和枕頭睡起來很舒服 沒有不滿意的地方
• MIRUKA (8/5): 素敵リフォームのお得なゲストハウス - お部屋のセンスが素敵すぎる！ 施設が清潔(もともと) (泊まったお部屋に)天井に天窓がある お値段もお得 他のお客様(他に中国人ファミリーが泊まっていた)に汚されたトイレがそのまま放置されていて使えなかった(スタッフが居たら直ぐに清掃したかと) スタッフ不在の宿だったので、宿泊者のリテラシーやマナーによって快適度が変わるところ
• Carlotta (10/5): Exceptional -
• Shiho (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bow (10/5): Exceptional -
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
• Deryk (7/5): Good -
• Iman (8/5): Peaceful and clean - great for short stays - Very nice and peaceful guesthouse - I only stayed one night but had a comfortable and pleasant stay! It has a super clean kitchen and shower facilities. I liked that the sinks were separate and not in the bathroom. The bunk bed was also great, and I was given a towel for use whilst there. I’d recommend earplugs because one person snored extensively (but that’s not the guesthouse’s fault). Also worth bringing slippers as shoes must be taken off before entering (also great in maintaining cleanliness). I’d definitely stay again!
• Vivien (9/5): More than I expected! Everything was really nice! Would stay there again -
• Jain (6/5): Pleasant - The place was nice, beautiful and comfortable. Clean. Quiet. The towel they gave was small. Should give a normal sized towel.
• Lucia (9/5): Superb -
• Michael (5/5): Passable -
• Krishnamurthy (6/5): Pleasant - No staff on premises.
• Dirzhev (9/5): Small paradise - Exceptionally clean place. First floor is a small area, mostly it's kitchen. They have filtered water, stove, oven. Second floor is a sleeping area. Room I stayed in has 4 big and very comfortable beds. Which is ideal I would say. Shower is great! They also have bath. It's a bit far from train station. Choose this place only if a comfort of hostel has a big advantage for you ( which was my case).
• Sabrina (1/5): Bad -
• Vj_rye (9/5): Smooth ride - Nice n cozy place to rest. Had no inconveniences. No regrets.
• İlimdar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sara (8/5): Very good - Nice and quiet place, small hostel with only one floor with bedrooms. It was very clean and I got a new towel everyday. The showers and changing room connected to it were spacious and had a clothing rack. Since it was December, they also gave another fleece blanket (very soft and warm). Everyone was respectful of the quiet hours. The hostel's location is not the best, it is only really close to the Toji Temple. You will have to wake up earlier if you want to be the crowds at popular sightseeing places. The dorm room is small, around 1m maximum between the beds where there is no ladder, and ~3m in length, so if people are packing at the same time, it will be a bit tight. It is also easier to hear people snoring. The stairs are also steep and not really wide so bringing up my luggage was a bit difficult.
• Thomas (10/5): Very nice cosy stay - Very clean and good facilities
• Robert (7/5): Nicely done hostel let down by location and lack of staff - Comfy mattresses. Clean. No staff present on site during my time there. Acoustics were not great in rooms. Very hard to find.
• Mao-yeh (8/5): Very good - They provide Brita filter for drinking water. Bed 203A 's ladder' position makes your head hit the air conditioner.
• Jason (6/5): used for an overnight stay, didn't meet anyone from management, felt a bit lifeless of a stay, clean - clean facilities self service check-in could be convenient for some hostel seemed lifeless
• Aliaksandr (6/5): Pleasant -
• Christopher (7/5): Good -
• Devon (8/5): Very good -
• Kuo (9/5): Superb -
• Luc (4/5): Disappointing -
• Ferry (1/5): Bad - The property location was hard to find and you need taxi ride from kyoto station. The property provides contact number, but they are not answering calls. The staff provides lack of information when entering the hostel. They gave e limited details. They can't handle customer support. The room looks clean, but as we checked there are hairs on the pillows and bed. We are worried if they changes the covers and sheets. The property should work on cancellations of booking so the customers won't waste money from poor service hostel.
• Akitsu (8/5): Very good -
• Sibu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Riet (10/5): Exceptional -
• Giorgia (7/5): Good -
• Erienn (8/5): Very good - The room was much nicer than I expected. I liked the cozy atmosphere and the bathtub was great.
• Ariza (8/5): Very good - Like the place , everything was clean and shine ,the beds are comfortable. I went with my grandma, for people with age the stairs was a little difficult to use
• Sargent (7/5): Good -
• Rana (10/5): Great stay with friends - everything is great we really loved the vibe Nothing
• Artur (10/5): Exceptional - Great value for money. Can walk from /to Kyoto station (about 20mins). NA
• 莉子 (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ajda (9/5): Simple and quiet safe haven in residential area very comfortable and convenient. - Very residential low key and quiet area. Property itself was well maintained and had very spacious washrooms / shower for Japanese standards.
• Ciaran (10/5): Gem of a location in Kyoto - Amazing overall experience. Comfortable room, good AC, amazing shower (honestly made the trip haha) and located in a nice quiet location but with easy access to the rest of Kyoto via bus. Check in and check out was a breeze too! Highly recommend. Nothing! Honestly an amazing experience overall
• Dominika (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jenny (8/5): cozy, but expensive - - cute, cozy and small hostel - really comfortable room with the softest bed covers - nice kitchen with basic equipment - bus stops nearby - there was never any stuff around (but you were able to contact them via whatsapp or booking.com) - as I wrote before, this hostel was very cute and a nice place to stay, but I found it a little bit too expensive for what it was at the end
• Suarez (5/5): Passable - The place was good but too small! But nice Location is too far away from everything! There is no reception or personal in the hostel, if you have a problem you have better chances to resolve it if you ask for it to Buddha
• Charlotte (9/5): Superb - Lovely, clean rooms and staff quick to respond to questions and offer help Bit too far from the centre, I would suggest hiring a bike as it takes over an hour walk to get to the main part of Kyoto where most things are. Lovely to cycle through Kyoto and can park at the property.
• Michelle (7/5): Good place - Cute place. It was comfortable and had everything I needed. It was easy to get into and located in a quiet area. Not hard to get to at all either. It did feel a bit small when it was fully booked. Moving around the room with 3-4 people was not easy. As long as everyone is considerate with each other though, it’s not much of a problem. I’d also suggest bringing your own towel if you plan on using the shower. They don’t have them, at least not that I saw, but luckily I didn’t need one.
• Huang (9/5): Superb -
• Sonja (10/5): Exceptional -
