The hostel was really nice. The rooms we stayed in were immaculate in their cleanliness! The location of the hostel was great - very close to the Kyoto station (about 10 min walk). The staff was excellent and extremely helpful, they really made efforts to help me and made my stay in Kyoto even more enjoyable.

Mix between a guest house and a hostel. Each floor has their own fridge and kitchen etc... Only issue was that there is no common space to hang out.

Stayed here during Golden Week - wonderful hostel! The entire place was very clean and modern. Loved the free wi-fi. Good security and no curfew - guests are given a key code that they can use to let themselves in after hours. The staff were so incredibly friendly and helpful! I would definitely recommend this hostel and would definitely stay again.

A lovely little hostel run by a lovely japanese family. Mo, the owner, is the funniest and most helpful person who always has some good extra advice to make your Kyoto experience even more enjoyable. The bikes, that you can hire for 500Yen a day, are in a perfect condition and the rooms have more space than refular hostels in Japan.

Being easy reach of the Kyoto Station is a great convenience. A clean and well maintained place makes for a comfortable stay.

The warm welcome we received was our first step into Kyoto and that was really a nice one. The place is clean and close from the station, Gion and temples around there. Really a great time! And they kept the luggages for the day. What else?

STOOD OVERNIGHT: perfect little hostel. I've never seen a hostel that is so clean. The receptionist is very nice & very hepful (yu can ask him anything). I took a taxi from Kyoto Station to the hostel (not to struggle too much to find the hostel) and it cost me less than 500 yen (5$). The hostel is not easy to find if yo don't have a map of the cty but this s ONE OF THE BEST HOSTEL IN KYOTO. Only thing: only 2 showers for the all hostel

Matches the best that I have stayed in. The hostel feels new with comfortable and warm bunks in light and airy rooms. Great staff, excellent new looking facilities, including 4 computers on 2 floors, a fridge on each floor, a well equipped kitchen - with free tea and coffee at any time - most welcome. An easy walk from the JR station (13 minutes) with all its eateries, Information office and shops. I enjoyed my stay so much that I booked 4 more days direct with the owner for 10 days later.

This is a family owned hostel. The family lives there and runs it. They're really kind people and the husband understood English very well. We were able to use their kitchen, and they also had group rooms for larger parties traveling together. Wished they had lockers of some sort to keep our stuff safe while we were out, but the rooms were very clean and comfortable. If we had been staying longer, laundry option would have been a nice perk too. All and all, very satisfying.

Overall good. The hostel doesn't have much for a communal area and the staff wouldn't let me keep my backpack at the hostel for part of the day the day I was leaving which was a first.

Bit tricky to get there. Spent more than an hour to track it down with heavy luggage. It should take about 15 min walk from kyoto station if you have a good direction. Not the best guest house i stayed. Would definitely choose something closer with better atmosphere next time.
