Guest House Yahata Reviews

YAHATA was a great place to stay! If felt like staying in a small Japanese home. The bike rental was great, the staff was so helpful about seeing Kyoto, and the beds were pretty comfortable. Yahata is an old traditional, wooden house that has been converted into a hostel. I could see that if the place was packed it could be a bit crowded but I thought the curtains around each bed was a nice way to get a bit of privacy and aloud people to keep lights on if someone was getting to bed early.

A cosy hostel where you can mingle with the staff, there is no proper common room but the reception functions as a common room. The bathrooms are fully equipped with soap, shampoo and hair balsam. There is a small kitchen avaiable and 2 computers. The beds are really traditional. So worth a visit if you want to experience something different!

When I stayed here for the first time, I thought that it was difficult to find this place, but now for the second time, I got to know that it is really easy to find this pension from bus stop or metro station. The owner couple are so sweet,too.

There's no real common area here and I didn't find it the most sociable of places to stay. But the staff are very friendly and helpful. It's clean, the beds are comfortable enough and only a few minutes walk from the lrt. It's a fair distance from the main sights. Similar with food - not too many places to eat nearby though there are a couple of cheap eats within a few minutes walk.

I had a very nice stay, thank you very much!

The staff was very helpful. the directions were a bit confusing at first but once i found the place it is my favorite guest house so far. I stayed in a small tatami room that was super clean and i felt so safe and cozy and welcomed. Everyone there was so very kind and helpful. Also enjoyed the slice of toast and free coffee in the morning. There is a little guide book that was helpful and LAN plugin in the common room, in addition to common use computers. I really enjoyed my evening there.

Really nice hostel. The owners are very kind and helpful. The location is perfect (close to the city centre / reailway station / and metro lines). The hostel is clean and well equipped. If I come back to Kyoto somewhen in the future I will definetely come back to this hostel. Kind regards to the hostel owners. Tomas
