The capsule hotel features certain units that include a safety deposit box, and every room is fitted with a shared bathroom with a bidet and a hairdryer. At Hostel Sui Kyoto the rooms are fitted with bed linen and towels.

The owner was very accommodating, and he responded to messages which made it easier for me to find the hostel. I arrived at 9am and i was able to check in right away. I was also able to use the time to take a rest before going out which was a big thing for me coz i was also working so i would rest when i get the chance. Renting bicycle for 1000yen for the whole duration of the stay was also worth it! I loved the experience. It also has complete toiletries so you wont really need anything. I was impressed with the amount of skin care in the shower room too 😊 i always appreciate free coffee/tea too! And one last thing, laundry was also free!!! You'll save a lot if you stay here. Id definitely stay again! I love the hostel and i love kyoto!!

Looking for a capsule hotel?

Developed in Japan, these cheap “pod” hotels are a novelty for any traveler. With rows of small single bed enclosed capsules, accommodations are basic and intended to be overnight. There's separate storage for luggage and gender-separate communal bathrooms. Some capsule hotels also have a sentō – a Japanese bath house, usually for male guests only.

    Safe and cosy hostel, shared room with privacy curtains around bunk beds. Downstairs common area is really lovely and nice place to cook a simple meal, chill out and do some work. Chilo and Nico the Pomeranians were so friendly and amazingly fluffy, the owner was happy to let them come and meet us whenever we were there. Good location close to bus stops and Nijo station, would like to come stay again!

    Loved the hotel. Location was really convenient for Kyoto Station. Had dinner the first night in the restaurant and thought quality and value for money was really good. Staff were friendly and helpful with much better English than my Japanese. Loved the communal area, which was in use even during the rain. The fire pit was a lovely touch. They have a public bath on site and didn't blink at a single tattoo, though more ink may pose a concern. Would happily go back the next time we're in Kyoto.

    Excellent location. Convenient for Shinkansen, subway, trains, buses, shopping centres. Friendly staff. Room was ok size - most Japanese hotel rooms are small so this triple room was fine for us.

    We felt very privileged to be able to stay in this beautiful, traditional Japanese house. The house is conveniently located but far enough away from the very busy tourist areas that it was quiet at night and offered the chance to explore some traditional streets without all the crowds. The house is comfortable and well-equipped and Akemi was a very friendly and helpful host who provided lots of information and recommendations both before and during our stay.

    I loved the minimalist modern interior which seemed quite new. The staff was polite and helpful. Also I liked the fact that there weren't capsule pods or bunk beds. Individual rooms were small but very functional and clean with a washing basin in each room. It would have been a perfect location if I am just visiting Kitano Tenmagu or Daitokuji temple. The breakfast was bit pricey but delicious! I would recommend this place for others.

    Everything. It’s very close hankyu-Kyoto line, very close to shopping and restaurants area.I honestly didn’t expect much seeing as this is only a capsule hotel. But the area is clean, the staff are friendly, there are wide variety of free amenities. And the breakfast was free. Truly represented a true Japanese hospitality

    This was my first time in a capsule hotel and a first time in a female-only one at the same time :) I loved the stay - everything was super convenient, all possible amenities provided (you get pajamas, shoes, face masks etc.). Kitchen has even matcha set and coffee hand grinders ;) Cabins were surprisingly quiet
