OKI's Inn Reviews

OKI's Inn is a charming hostel. Though only small, it it immaculately clean and has all the facilities you need, including a kitchen, and nice lounge with some guide books, and items for rent at a cheap price, including towels and bicycles. The people who work there are extremely friendly and willing to help you out. The hostel and surrounding area are secure and pleasant. Highly recommended!

The owners, Taka and Yuka, are very nice and friendly. They welcome us with frank service mind and are willing to help us everything that we asked for. The hostel itself also very nice with warm atmosphere. Although it is a small place, but they can manage it well and cleanly. Also, it is located very near subway and bus stop, so we can travel around Kyoto very easily. I would recommend to others and will definitely go back if I have a chance going to Kyoto again.

OKI's Inn was the best thing about our trip to Japan! Our hosts were absolutely fantastic and their inn is lovely and well maintained. I'd recommend this place in a heartbeat!

Great place! Taka and Yuka are _so_ nice! Very convenient to the subway, or a nice walk from downtown. I stayed in the dorm and it was clean and quiet, despite the paper walls. There are a lot of Japanese guests, so I got to try out my fledgeling Japanese skills ^_^' . The kitties are pretty but very shy. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone staying in Kyoto and I hope to stay there again!

Oki's Inn is a kawaii place to stay! The design is so nice and the owners are as lovely as can be. Some more cutlery and crockery would be a bonus for the kitchen facilities but everything else is A+

I'm very happy to stay at Oki's Inn for two nights. Like this wooden house on market street which blends perfectly well in the heritage city, Kyoto. The owners are so friendly and give very good recommendations for foods and places of interest. I definitely would recommend this place to others. I like their cats too :)

Our stay at Oki's Inn was superb. The 100 year old Japanese house was so full of character, it was like going back in time. Taka & Yuka were the most wonderful of hosts, they were most approachable and frendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The epitome of japanese courtesy. Our 3 night stop there was the highlight of our Japan tour and hopefully we will be re-visiting again sometime in the future.

lovely inn within walking distance of gion and yasaka shrine and park. great atmosphere (100 yrs old traditional house) and great hosts. thank you taka and yuka for making it a great stay :) will love to come back on our next trip. the fact they speak english also helps a lot. only downside is the washroom and bathroom are outside (not very convenient on very chilly days) but it's very clean and will not defer us from coming back again!

We just want to say "thank you" to Taka and Yuka again. We understand it takes a lot of hard work to keep everything running in sharp conditions, surely, you two have achieved it! Your helpfulness and kindness are incredibly heart-warming. We must thank you for providing such a great place for visitors like us! Next time when we visit Kyoto, Oki's Inn will be our first choice, definitely.

Lovely couple who owned the hostel! Could not have been more welcoming or helpful. Atmosphere and chill out area was really nice, cute market on the road of the hostel, beds were really comfortable, only slight bad point is there is only one shower and you have to go outside to get to the bathroom!!

The couple that run the inn are beyond fantastic. They are extremely accomodation and go out for their way too assist you. Our room was very spacious, however our room was directly on the facing the undercover market place which had elevator style music playing till 2200 and we would be woken by the shop keeps every morning at about 6am. Because the roof was shared with the market we go no natural light. The facilities were very clean and the common kitchen and living area was very spacious.

I loved my stay here, you both were so helpful and you have a beautiful home! I wish you all the best for your Inn and hope you have lots of success! Nicole Ryan

We had a fantastic stay at oki's. The location is perfect, close to everything including the subway. The property has a traditional style with a lounge area to meet fellow travellers or just chill out. The service and was astonishingly good, the hosts are both fluent English speakers which makes communication a breeze, we were able to get great tips for places to go around the area as well. Highly recommended!

very friendly and nice staff great location clean

We had a brilliant stay at Oki's Inn! The location was great for exploring the northern temples of kyoto and eating in the Gion district late at night. The owners were very accommodating and recommended some great restaurants- we got to try poisonous blowfish (fugu) infused sake! Would definitely recommend for an authentic machaya.

we had an amazing time at OKI's inn, excellent atmosphere and value for money, close to the subway and restraunts and all the sites. ive travelled around the world and have never met any owners as nice as these guys! they were so helpfull and friendly and would definetly recommend it and if we ever come back to kyoto we will stay there! thanks.

No noise curfew and very thin walls meant lots of noise disturbance late into the night.

Its a small guest house, so you can fell as at home, but a "japanese home". The owners are really lovely. Nice and comfortable common room. Clean kitchen, toilets, and shower room. Good location, next to tube station, and you can go by walking to Gion area. The dormitory is a little small, and shower room is outside.

The best hostel I have ever stayed in - the owners, Taka and Yuka, are such beautiful people and will go out of their way to make sure you have a great stay. The hostel rooms are lovely, traditional style, the beds are comfortable and the place is really clean. Great location, very centrally located. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I love Kyoto, and have visited several times, but my stay at OKI's Inn completely changed and enhanced my experience of the city. Completely attentive, kind and gentle hosts, with a beautiful simple, traditional guest house, at an affordable price, and a great location. More than hosts, I now consider Taka and Yuka my friends - and will most definitely be back to OKI's Inn to enjoy their wonderful hospitality again. HIGHLY recommended for a heart-warming and authentic Japanese experience.
