The location and staff are the best thing about J-Hoppers Kyoto Guesthouse. Near to Post Office, 7-11, bakery, eating places and only 10 minutes walk from Kyoto station. Hosts are always friendly, smiling, helpful and knowledgeable about events that are happening in Kyoto.

Dalen United States of America

We loved just about everything. They were able to accept the luggage we had couriered that arrived the day before our check-in. Although there was no elevator, the staff were very willing to help carry our luggage. We loved the most the local events we saw on their billboards (i.e. the Toji temple flea market and Arashiyama Hanatouro!). The proximity to Kyoto station and Don Quixote made this place the perfect one prior to our flight home. The kitchen/living area was also well-equipped!

Almira Philippines

I have lived in japan and traveled here before. Best hostel I have ever stayed in. This hostel had the friendliest staff ever!!! And made many friends. THE BEST EXPERIENCE IN JAPAN. Also. ove this place. And very close to Fushimi Inari and Kyoto station.

Josh United States of America

The staff were so helpful, easy for check-in & check out process. the kitchen facilities. Feel at home 😊

Triyani Indonesia

The room is spacious, i like their kitchen , very flexible with the check-in time . I got there earlier like 8 am but didn't charge me for extra.

Caryssa Philippines

The Staff are super friendly, Saho-san and Kenneth-san help me a lot. They also speak very good English so don't worry for language barrier. Also I had a great time during the yukata Night. even tho no elevator and my room is on the 5th floor, but i felt very comfy and cozy. I enjoyed my japanese single room. Walk 7-10mins to Kyoto station or 5 mins to Kujo station, 2-3mins walk to bus station and 7-11. there are also yakitori and yakisoba restaurants near the hostel. they provide the slippers so the floor stays clean. Memorable Stay, will stay here again when i visit Kyoto 😊

Steffi Indonesia

- Staffs were the best and very helpful, they know about Kyoto really well!. - Loved the kitchen and living room area. - Good location, near 1 minute walk to subway and around 10-15 minutes walk to Kyoto station. - Tea ceremony! I attended Tea ceremony which I learned how to prepare and make Matcha.

Juthamas Thailand

The hostel was sparkling clean and quiet, the staff was friendly, and the hostel is very close to Kyoto station. They leave which bed to choose to you, which is awesome.

Zuhal Turkey

Always stay here because of convenient location, but moreso because of very friendly and always helpful reception and staff

Dalen United States of America

It’s one stop away from Kyoto station. A bus stop and metro station is just 3 min walk away, so it was very easy to get around Kyoto. The staff was super friendly and is always there to help. The room was nice and big and the bed was comfortable.
