Hostels in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

This hostel it is clean, good location, even if you are 2 km from main popular street is easy to get around. The issues: you can’t really sleep here if u get snoring people as ur neighbors rooms. I ve booked 7 days but I had to cancel the lasts 2 because was really hard to sleep and I was having only ~4h sleeping. And at 7/8 am people are already moving and waking up and because of the isolation of the ceiling(pic) is very easy to hear absolutely anything, any little move. In the first night staying here, after a person snoring so much until 2 am , it woke up go toilet and after it put reels on big volume at more than 2 am, I had to go all the way to knock at his door bcz I imagine it was a guy. The single issue with the mixed floor is this, if you put a girl with only men and they snoring, that girl can’t have any good sleep, if u put only girls and some men but they snoring, all girls will get mad bcz I wasn’t the single one after the first day. In the last night the snoring man wasn’t in the room anymore and they were more girls I ve heard. So if this hostel wants to make a mixed floor then I think they can think of putting only young people with young people and older people with older. Or maybe only 1 floor women and another men and the rest floor mixed idk. They can think of something. Also , there is water dispenser only at 5 th floor! Why they don’t have one next to reception? All the people from down have to climb all the stairs for a glass of water everyday until 5th? And there is the sharing space only at 5th floor where is the water too but again, a person that needs to talk to phone and to not destroy other peace , has to go or outside the hostel or in toilets or at 5th floor… it is a bit of a struggle these things. And for the double rooms u can put a small electric kettle for morning coffee I think and a glass and a spoon. To not get all the way up to 5th floor, if it wasn’t complicated to get all the way up I would have gone to make coffee there too but I tried one morning when I was still not awake and it was a bit of a struggle. That’s all. Oh. And the beds are really comfortable and very soft, too bad I couldn’t enjoy a good sleep in them. And after I canceled the lasts 2 days I didn’t receive back the city tax:)) is not big money at all but details makes the difference.

Kyoto was the main stop on this trip, so I had high expectations for this hotel in Omiya. It's about a 10-minute walk from Kyoto's most prosperous Shijo shopping street, which isn't too close, but still very convenient. There are bus stops and subway stations nearby, so getting around is still very convenient. However, if you want to avoid walking, it's best to book a room in Shijo. There's free housekeeping once every three nights, but we didn't tell the front desk before 8 p.m. one night in advance, so we didn't use it. The toothbrush was very difficult to use, much worse than the hotel in Nagoya.

Extremely clean, both the beds and the bathroom areas were spotless. The facilities are new. It's an all-female dormitory, so it's relatively quiet; no one comes and goes late at night. The environment is very elegant, and there's a reading area and a pantry on the second floor, perfect for sitting down with a book and a coffee. The price is absolutely perfect. It's about a six to seven-minute walk from the subway.

Clean, spacious, professional. Really liked my experience there . Loved the bed, convenient. You can use it like a sofa and as a bed . Loved the mirror in my « room ». So grateful. Well located too. Points to work on : put the towels and slippers on each floors. Toilet and shower doors too heavy, need some oil lol. Would put a tablette on the side of the bed for phone, charger, etc. Nothing more honestly !

The hotel was in a good place near a grocery store and bus station. Staff was very polite and nice but my room wasn't cleaned even once The room itself was in traditional style which is the reason I chose this hotel and didn't regret it

Great stay for the price point , the owner of the hostel is a friendly, personable human. The staff is also amazing as well . You get what you pay for . Every one I was there with were super respectful. If I come to Kyoto I'll definitely stay here again

Overall, my experience was excellent. The location is super convenient for getting around. The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was so comfortable I slept soundly. The bathroom facilities were complete, and the hot water supply was stable. The staff were warm, attentive, and friendly. The breakfast offered a wide variety of choices and tasted good. It's great value for money, and I felt comfortable throughout my stay. I'll definitely choose this place again next time and highly recommend it to everyone!

Simple room, shared bathrooms and showers. Cleanliness could be improved; the bathrooms weren't cleaned daily, and the room wasn't cleaned once in 5 nights, nor was the bin emptied. Towels cost extra... I've never encountered that in other hostels I've stayed at. Unfortunately, there's no washing machine available, but the reception recommended some nearby laundromats. There's a well-equipped communal kitchen with all the necessary utensils. Convenient location near the metro and some points of interest.

Eveb though the hostel is a bit far from city, the facilities are very good, staffs are super friendly, breakfast that I pre-booked is worthe the value, overall a nice stay in this hoste

The location is close to Kyoto station which is convenient to travel to other places (Nara and Uji). But you need to walk through an alley to the hotel, where you barely see anyone walking together. So, female solo travellers pls take alert while coming back late. The cleanliness is satisfying. Free towel, free earbuds, free slippers are provided. You can refill your drinking water here. Washing machine charge 300 yen per 30 minutes. But the dryer charges 100yen per 10 minutes. But the cleanliness of the dryer is terrible. They never clean the dust inside the tray (which is important to have higher efficiency of drying). I have to clean it myself before i used it.
