J-Hoppers Kyoto Guest House Reviews

Absolutely amazing experience! Will definitely stay here again!! ^^

Staff was great. Other guests were wonderful. Facilities were comfortable, clean. No problems, no worries.

Great hostel: clean , near central station, near supermarket and helpfull staff. Not elevator was the only problem :-)

A true backpackers' hostel. Good location, wonderful stuffs, and has all the facilities. Definitely recommendable.

I only stayed 1 night, got in 10pm, left at 8am & didn't shower. So it is difficult to make a proper judgement about the hostel. I have nothing bad to say about the hostel, but I am reluctant to give it high praise as it may not be deserved i.e. I don't know what I don't know. The only thing that I would say is that it would be great if they offered fitted under-sheets as it would make it a lot easier to makeup the bed and would result in a more comfortable sleep - my sheet kept bunching up.

Always like to come back to J-Hoppers Kyoto.

Almost 100% perfect service but the lack of elevator and having to hold down the handle hot water shower to keep it flowing. Great services. They held my luggage for three days while I travelled near by to Mount khaosan. I give them 97%

Nicest hostel I have ever stayed comparing to those in US and Europe. Very clean and nice facilities, perfectly located just a 5 minutes walk away from the Kyoto Station where people can easily connect to major Kyoto attractions and trains to other cities. Definitely stay here again for my future visit to Kyoto and strongly recommend to my friends too!

Over all a nice place, with lots of other travelers to talk to. Location is however not as good, its maybe a 45 min walk from the restaurants and bars in Gion.

Visited in 2008 and recently in 2012. Love the renovations! Staff as helpful as ever. Highly recommended for the budget traveller.

Very nice hostel, good value for money: friendly staff, cheap bicycle rental and some privacy with curtains that cover your bed (at least in the dorm rooms). Only downside is that the dorm rooms are on the 5th floor with no elevator, and the showers are on the 3rd floor.

I found only good thing in location the rest are quite average coz the staff were not so helpful and I had to carry my luggage to the fourth floor! I stayed the female dorm for 6 persons that not fit a small room at all. No recommendation for my friends.

j-hoppers kyoto was outstanding.the staff were so helpful. it was in a great location. we stay in a 8 bed dorm. which was clean and fresh. we would recommend the hostel to anybody who asked about where to stay in kyoto.

All the details in this hostel are well thought out - they even had umbrellas to lend. The curtains around the beds are very nice, and it's good to have enough space for the luggage/backpack as well. I also liked having a small shelf next to the bed. Everything was very clean, staff was very helpful. The only thing I didn't like was that the hostel asked guests to tell about it (=advertise it) on social media.

Near Kyoto station about 10-15 min by walk everything look ok except the shower is not warm enough

everything OK. nothing special. good place to stay.

It'll be better that there is a lift. Because the rooms are on the 4th and 5th floor, it's not easy to carry the heavy luggage up the stairs. The stairs are also a bit slippery. I almost slipped and fell 2 or 3 times. Other than that, the hostel is not too bad. The staff are approachable and polite.

Liked the privacy that the curtains to my dorm bunk gives me, making the 8 bed dorm room more value for money. There were many essential backpacker items provided by the front desk, and also hair dryers, which was awesome. The staff were very friendly too! They actually recognised my luggage & helped me move it to the other dorm. The only drawback would be climbing stairs in order to get to the shower room, and also the sink at the toilets are impossible to brush teeth in, coz it is too narrow

My third stay at this place. I really like it! :-) This time with a friend and he was also very pleased.

Simply put an excellent hostel
