Guest House Kyoto Reviews

Great place! A bit far from the center, but very close to the train station. They also have bicycle fro rent, which is a must to do in Kyoto!!!! Kyoto Guesthouse is definitely one of the cleanest hostels I ever seen :) Great service: the guy at the reception is a very accurate and kind person..and he speaks a fluent english (which is not so easy to find in Japan). I would recomend this place to everyone!!!

Location, staff and amenities couldn't have been better. Awesome place!

I've stayed at a lot of youth hostels, and this one was alright but nothing special. It's very clean and has good facilities but was not very interesting and lacked character. The atmosphere there was very dull and there is no common room area to meet other travelers. It's a clean place to sleep but I would recommend staying somewhere else.

very clean organised hostel with friendly extremely helpful staff which is located in station area of kyoto. unfortunately there was no dryer on site although there is a clothes line if it is warm enough. this hostel also lacks a proper area in the common space to meet other travellers ie dining table or proper lounge area. no lockers.

Clean, central, convenient - very helpful staff. Only downsides are that it lacks a communal area and has limited cooking facilities.

Would be necessary a loby or something like that to let persons who want to talk, read or whatever activity at anytime without disturb at persons from their own room. Also would be fine add some rules about time to turn down lights at room or something like that.

No common area, kitchen facilities poor, no lockers.

Clean, Clean, Clean ! Staff is helpful, smily, generous... really great time :)

Excellent hostel! The rooms and bathrooms were very clean. The staff were so friendly and helpful, especially the man on reception. He went out of his way to make our stay as easy and comfortable as possible. Thank you!

There's no common area which makes it difficult to socialize. The showers were great. Plenty of hot water and they even had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. It was like a spa :). The location is close to Kyoto station which is great but very hard to find in the dark.

We spent four nights here and it was a nice stay.. after the booking, they sent us a map via email- with this map easy to find. If you dont have it (like we did :P), you can ask at the tourist station- they know the hotels by name and marked it for us on the map. With this, we managed. The manager is really friendly and speaks good english. He is also very helpful and provided us with good information about Kyoto.The facilities were one of the cleanest which I saw during my stay in Japan.

Was pretty hard to find for me. Take note that the maps at the train station are not oriented to the north. ^^

I've stayed in over 20 hostels in 10 different countries and this one was by far the least fun. That being said, it was by far one of the cleanest and safest. It is rather small, don't expect any place to hang out and have beers with fellow hostelgoers. If you are looking for a bed to crash for a night or two while exploring Kyoto, this place is not a bad choice. The location is not bad, about 10 minutes from Kyoto station. Staff was fluent in Japanese and English. I'd stay here again.

This is a fantastic hostel, centrally located with clean rooms and free wifi internet. Friendly staff with great english this is a awsome hostel to explore the sights of Kyoto.

I stayed for three nights, but the last was after a few nights away; when I returned, however, I felt right at home in the kindness and good nature of the hosts. Everything is clean and well-tended, comfortable and accessible, and my experience was on the whole a good one. Handily, the hostel is located not far from Kyoto Station, the two Honganji and Tōji, and both a convenience store and a supermarket. Group rooms were spacious and just private enough without preventing casual meetings.
