Hostel HARUYA Reviews

I had a lovely experience at the Hostel Haruya in Kyoto, staffs are so helpful and provided good recommendation for my trip. I also love the fact that this is a traditional Japanese old house located in a convenience location which make it easy to visit different places. Definitely will come back again and stay longer.

This is a great, unique hostel, centrally located and has a lot of charme. I can highly recommend staying at Hostel Haruka. The owner is incredibly helpful and takes his time to show you around. I loved sleeping on the tatami matts on the futon it was a memorable experience. Would definately come back again!

Good location, easy to move for Eeast side of Kyoto. Hostel is Japanese traditional house which you will love. For me, I am Japanese and I also love this kinds of houses, wooden, Tatami rooms, very old but clean. it is chilling for me. I stayed in 4bed females dorm, room is too small, but the price is cheep, so it's OK.

The perfect stay. Perfect location just next to Gion district, very friendly, respectful and helpful staff, splendid atmosphere in a genuine japanese house, perfectly clean and safe. We were treated like princes here. A very pleasant stay to recomand. They also provide japanese jacket and choose in case you need some. So nice.......

The owner of the hostel is very helpful and friendly. He helped me a lot with directions and gave me lots of great recommendations! The location is very good too, easily accessible to most of the major attractions on foot. Highly recommended!

The most helpful and friendly staff you will ever meet.

Wonderful place--staff exceedingly friendly, location great, small but very full of character!

just only the internet speed quite slow. every other thing is very good, Especially staff is the best thing of here

I highly recommend this hostel. It's a gorgeous traditional house with a very gracious host. Most importantly, it's in a great location near many tourist attractions, including the Gion District and a fantastic park. I was able to walk to many places on my itinerary. The house is kept very clean, which I greaty appreciate.

The staff is really nice and friendly. It was very good to receive some extra information for orientation. The rooms are very beautiful and I really enjoyed staying there.

A lovely guesthouse! Although it is listed as a hostel, it is too stylish to really be seen as one. Beautifully decorated, clean, crisp bedding, about 20m away from a subway station, a very friendly and helpful owner - I have only good things to say about Hostel Haruya.

We loved our stay at Haruya. Yukisan was a wonderful host and it felt more like a home stay than a hostel. The rooms are very traditional with paper sliding walls, bamboo floors, and futon beds. It is very romantic. However, we shared a floor with 3 other rooms and were able to see their lights and hear their conversations all night. The bathroom facilities are outside and it was a little challenging to get ready in the morning, but they were beautiful and well maintained, not rustic.
