Overall a good experience. Showers a bit dirty. They won't let you check in until 3:00, which sux if you have just come to town - leave your bags at the train station or somewhere else, because it's a long way to walk from the subway.

Fantastic place to stay! The staff and location make it ideal for anyone looking to see the temples and return to a warm place for some drinks and laughter. Also very close to great public baths. The price is great as well.

A wonderful traditional Japanese building very close to some great temples. The staff were helpful and you can't beat the price. The futons were a bit hard and uncomfortable, but I would definitely stay there again.

Sleeping with 6 persons in a room without window? Waking up at 5 in the morning, because your room and the kitchen are just seperated by shojis which let you hear all the toothbrushing and breakfast sounds of people leaving early? Like having to change in a wet shower cabin getting your trousers all soaked?

This place is really great! It\'s a \"faked\" old style building with tatamis in the dorm, very close to major sights (Kiyomizu-dera, Gion district and a lot of other famous Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines). The staff was very friendly and helpful and speaks excellent English. The only downer was that the eight people tatami male dorm is next to the street, so one might need earplugs.

A wonderful place! I felt like I was in on one of the best secrets in Kyoto by staying here. Great atmosphere, comfy Japanese-style rooms and beds, helpful English-speaking staff, and yummy yummy (and cheap!) food at the cafe. I still crave the toast with honey and butter. The first night here, I saw 5 or 6 geisha while I was wandering around the area (to be fair, not so many after that). If you're thinking about staying in a youth hostel, stay here instead!
