I loved that everything was so clean! The communal bath especially was very, very clean and very nice. And the staff was extremely friendly.

Beautiful Building in absolute remote but quiet location. It takes 30min by bike to get to Gion. The staff in the hostel is very unflexible and their English is rather poor. The breakfast is ok, but we were missing some fruits. The communicated freshly baked baked rolls were usual industrial processed japanese sweet bread. Even though breakfast was announced until

An excellent hostel in a beautiful modern japanese style building, situated in a quiet residential area. Lovely courtyard and grassed areas. Easy to find and access by Kyoto bus. Close to Arashiyama, Ryoan-ji and the Golden Pavilion. Shops and restaurants are 10-15mins away. On site breakfast and dinner good value and well appointed self-catering kitchen is great for families. Our kids had a great time here.

Brand new hostel with nice design (lots of glass and timber) in a quiet residential area. Good, comfortable beds although lockers might be a little small. Perhaps a little bit far from the city proper but close to Ryoanji and some of the other temples in the north west of Kyoto. Breakfast is hearty but cost 600 yen. Overall good but a bit too far from the action.

thought the hostel was amazing ... loved the location, although a bit far from the town centre it was really easy to get to by bus! ... however we were surprised that the last bus back to the hostel was as early as it was so my friend and i got caught out and had to get a taxi back ... it would have been nice to have been warned of this when we checked into the hostel! ... otherwise the staff were really helpful and the rooms were spacious with good sized lockers!
