Great place to stay
Excellent staff and cleanliness of the room, only 1 shower on level 2 (women only). Little bit cramped for space within the lockers but the room itself was definitely spacious enough to put my luggage in the corner. Safe outside door lock after 9PM. Would definitely return and recommend!

I was only here for a night since the hostel was fully booked but really wanted to stay longer. The girls at reception were really helpful and friendly. The one annoyance was that a group due to check in later that day moved their enormous luggage into the room before I'd even woken up.

Nice hostel, good location
Stayed just 1 night in the mixed dorm. It was comfortable and what I needed. The location was central to a lot of tourist destinations by bicycle. The hostel also has bicycles for rent for 500 yen a day but did not know until I got there. I had already rented from a local bicycle shop. It would have been nice to know in advance. Would stay at again!

Handy accomodation
Whilst the room was 'bare bones' and a little uncomfortable, the location more than made up for it. Since everything in Kyoto is spread so far apart, having the Bus 50 bus stop right out side the door was amazing! Room was as you would expect, and the shared bathrooms were impeccably clean. If you don't care about luxury then this was the perfect place to stay!

A notch above a hostel--pleasAnt clean and small
Very clean and comfortable. But all spaces are shared except your bunk bed with a curtain. Not for everyone. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Happy stay
I just stayed one brief night but the service was good and the bed comfortable! The location was a tad bit far from some of the main sights, but closer to the downtown area. Easily solved with a bus ride.

部屋に二段ベッドが置かれているだけの 一昔前のゲストハウスである。京都には新しいゲストハウスが作られ 快適さを競っている。この種の古いゲストハウスは、それよりも値段を安くしているのだが、それでも競争が難しくなってくるのは、容易に推察できる。このゲストハウスは窓にはまともにカーテンがかからず、ベッドの仕切りも不十分である。わけのわからないベニヤ板が壁や窓に立てかけられている。今後価格を下げるか、メンテナンスを良くするか、選択が迫られてくるだろう。パンとコーヒーの朝食付きはプラス要素である。

公共空間小，房間內空間寬敞。
10人房宿舍內的空間比很多旅館都來的大，就算打開行李箱後還是很寬敞。有大冰箱。門口有公車站牌，附近有超市。缺點是公共空間很小，只有1坪大小吧，就算連櫃檯前的三張椅子也算進來，還是很小。

小さなカプセルホテル
地下鉄四条駅から徒歩8分位、大通りから少し離れた位置ですが、問題なしです。二段ベッドで10人の女性専用フロアーでした。ベッドはセミダブルの広さがあり、マットも三枚重ねで柔らかでした。シャワールームも清潔で、お湯もたっぷりでました。部屋の窓やカーテンを誰も閉めなかった為、通りの音が煩かった事が残念でしたが、宿泊代金の安さを考えると帳消しになります。次回は率先して部屋の管理をして快適な環境を整えようと思います。

주변 이동은 좋은 숙소
직원이 친철합니다. 그게 답니다. 비오거나 비온 다음날, 더웠던 날은 숙박을 추천해드리고 싶지 않습니다. 냄세가 장난이 아닙니다.( 전세계 사람들의 발냄세와 땀냄세, 비냄세, 꿉꿉함, 침구의 축축함...) 침대도 철제 2층 침대로 정말 최악입니다. 조금만 움직여도 끽끽 거립니다. 거리는 기온거리까지 도보 20분, 청수사까진 40분이 안걸립니다. 니조성까지 도보 30분이면 가능합니다.
