Conveniently located in the centre of Kyoto, SHIN kyoto offers air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a terrace. This 2-star hostel offers a shared kitchen. The property is non-smoking and is set 2.2 km from Kyoto Shigaku Kaikan Conference Hall. I recently stayed 10 days at SHIN and all I can say is I was blown away by the host’s (Shin) hospitality and attention to detail. From the moment I checked in, to the moment I checked out, along with local delivery of a forgotten item, Shin had taken care of everything. The room I stayed in (bunk room) was a good size for one or two lightly packed travellers. All shared spaces were well maintained and kept spotless. Getting around is very convenient, with a JR train station 3-5 mins away, and also the city bus stop right in front of the hotel. Only thing to note, is that the stairs are a bit steep, so something to consider for those that may have difficulty getting up or down.

Featuring a garden, the 2-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. We spent 7 nights at this guesthouse, and it was an important part of our wonderful experience in Kyoto. The couple that runs the guesthouse became friends with us. They fed us a delicious breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, and cabbage salad, which we enjoyed every morning. We had a great time talking with the wife (who can speak English conversationally) every morning, as well as the three other couples who came and went during our long stay. This guesthouse is definitely for people who enjoy the experience of meeting other travelers, want to learn about Japan from their hosts, are looking for a getaway from the big cities, and don't mind walking about 20 minutes to and 20 minutes from (uphill) the closest train station. It's not for people who want a reclusive getaway, don't like walking long distances, are looking for a normal hotel experience, or can't navigate steep stairsteps. This guesthouse allows you to live around the locals in a quiet, non-touristy neighborhood. Our twin room was very spacious compared to our budget hotel room in Tokyo, had a traditional feel to it, and was quite comfortable on hot days with the wall-mounted AC. Going to the bathroom or toilet room does involve walking a few steps out onto the balcony attached to your room, but with the house being high in the hills, it still feels reasonably private. This guest room is next to the one other guest room at this property, so you do need to be aware of noise levels. Below the guest rooms is a vacant art gallery space that serves as a large common area that's currently available to guests but may not always be if it's being used as a gallery. Attached to the gallery is a large patio with a view of Kyoto — a great place to sit in the morning or while eating dinner. If you're looking for a wonderful stay in Kyoto that's a little out of the ordinary, and you're an active traveler that wants to experience the non-touristy side of the city, this may be your place.
