The location is perfect, and the dorm setup gives you enough privacy while still feeling cozy and social. The guest house has everything you might need — washing machines, a comfortable common area, and a lovely café. But what really made the experience special were the owners — incredibly friendly, welcoming, and kind. We even had an amazing karaoke night together and met wonderful people. The whole experience was just great — I would absolutely stay here again! ##### Sophie Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Adrian Kyle Jul 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Situated in an ideal location near many famous tourist spots. Just a bit too hot temperature in the rooms but otherwise, A grade for the low costs. ##### Adrian Kyle Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Chiung yin Jan 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall I would recommend this place.

Staff was also very good. Some minor improvements would be better cleanliness and softer mattresses. ##### Kalle Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### katsunori Mar 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice. The kitchen is also available, making it suitable for long-term stays. The location is a bit inconvenient as it is outside the central area, but once you get used to it, it’s not a problem. There are no supermarkets nearby. A public bath is about a 10-minute walk away, so those who enjoy Japanese communal baths can experience a local atmosphere. I will use it again. There are many men and women from overseas. It is clean and feels safe. ##### katsunori Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Epie Dec 27, 2023 The beds in this capsule hotel are really big and comfy. The only thing that I would recommend to them is the provision of wet sanitizing tissue to clean the toilet sitting before use. It is a public restroom so sanitation must be a priority. Apart from that I will recommend it to friends and travellers on the go. ##### Epie Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Maria Jul 16, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I know is not directly related to the staff but directly to the guest that stay there but some of the share spaces were a little dirty... I think the administration should put more rules about to clean each space you use and create consciousness that there are other people than you. I another thing is that the administration should make maintenance to the showers and the shoes area... But other that that, was a great experience, the staff is super nice, also the beds and the first floor is also good. With wonderful location to move around. ##### Maria Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Edgar Alexis Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My stay at this hostel was acceptable. The lounge is very clean, spacious, and nice for hanging out and having something from 7-Eleven. There's a common area for eating and cooking that I didn't use. The staff is very friendly and answers all questions. When I arrived, there was a lovely party on the first floor with karaoke and a friendly crowd, which I enjoyed. There is no elevator. The rooms are mixed, and the wooden beds do not have a ceiling if you’re on the upper bunk—only left and right dividers and your curtain, so there isn’t complete privacy. The locker is small, so a 22-inch suitcase won’t fit; only smaller bags can be accommodated. I had to leave my luggage in my room in front of my bed. There’s another floor where you can leave larger luggage, but it’s not secure. The showers are fine, but you have to rent a towel for 200 yen. There are shared bathrooms on each floor for men and women. You have to put on your own sheets and pillowcases, and there’s no daily cleaning, even though I was told there would be. Just a block away is the bus station that takes you to Nishiki Market, and there are bars near the Kamo River and that shopping area. You can also walk to the wonderful and beautiful Kiyomizu-dera. Maybe, although I'm not sure, I would consider staying here again. ##### Edgar Alexis Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie Dec 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities First, let me begin by saying that this is a guesthouse with shared living/sleeping areas (meaning shared showers, own bunk bed but in a shared room etc) so if you're looking for privacy don't book a hostel. There is no elevator so be prepared to carry your luggage up 3-4 flights of narrow stairs. There is a small locker provided where you can set your own code; it's only big enough to keep shoes and valuables in. It's a small sleeping area so getting into your luggage is a bit of a hassle.The outside area is a bit noisy since it's right beside the street, for those sleeping beside the window this might be a nuisance. If you're a side sleeper, the mattress was a little thin but this might just be common of hostels and possibly Japan. 1F common area is very open with a wide space to lay out and relax. 2F is where the kitchen, dining area, shower room, and sinks are so this floor can get a bit stuffy and hot. All this being said, this was the best time I've had in Kyoto, I've met many people and had many connections that I was a bit sad to leave. The staff is very helpful, I've accidentally reset my locker code multiple times and while not related to me I've witnessed them do their best to make the guests' stay more enjoyable. Thanks Santiago, hope to see you again! ##### Leslie Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wentian Oct 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Thanks for another comfortable stay in between cycling trips ##### Wentian Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert Nov 3, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Close to sightseeing attractions. ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ulrike Nov 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I am staying here now the fifth night since I like it so much. ##### Ulrike Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Spencer Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Social areas are very inviting, and nice cafe. ##### Spencer Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### FAYE Aug 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Overall great! ##### FAYE Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josue Jun 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfect, I made friends late night playing Jenga. ##### Josue Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carlo May 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing ##### Carlo Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wentian Sep 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities great value for money, always a pleasure to stay here ##### Wentian Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Shelby Jun 14, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities I got so many bug bites here and even saw a cockroach in the lobby.. some of the staff is rude and one was pretty creepy..
