This hostel’s location was absolutely optimal for enjoying Kyoto, close to multiple train stations and within walking distance of many famous spots, saving me a lot of hassle with transportation. Facilities here were also good: no problems with the common showers or kitchen, really glad that soap/shampoo and hair dryers were provided. The room itself was a nice size for just me (could fit up to two people, but I liked it a lot better as a single room).
JapanIf you want to stay very close to Gion, this place is a right choice for you!
JapanGreat location. Easy to locate. Good enough as a resting place in Kyoto.
PhilippinesThe place is clean and probably has one of the best locations IMO. its only a few minutes walk from the center where all the commercial centers, food shops and a few temples are located. but not actually right in the center so its still quiet. Train stations and convenience stores are really close. Facilities are clean
PhilippinesEverything!!!! It is clean, quite, comfy, kind staffs, exactly everything. The subway metro train entrance gate is perfectly in front of your door. It was really amazing experience. You can safe your time to walk to the train/metro/subway station by just 2 mins from you step your foot outside to get in there. Anyway, they also have a bathtub which IS AMAZING.
South KoreaGreat location, very near to Shijo station and almost near to all major sites destination like Yasaka shrine, Hokanji temple and Nishiki Market. The bed was good and has a nice sake bar below ( thanks for the big empty sake bottle as souvenir). Recommended for solo traveler who spent more time outside. The property is well secured with keypad entry door locked system. Checking out is simple just leave the key on the designated box and you are good to go but you can never come in again. So ensure upon check out you bring all your stuffs with you.
Saudi ArabiaAlong the river and smack in Gion, it’s so nice walking through town and along the river while the morning is cool and quiet
United States of AmericaThe place was clean with great access to the Kyoto Metro (note: not JR). WiFi works great.
SpainThe location is awesome, It is next to the road where cherry blossom bloom fully. It is an extraordinary scene just a few steps from JAM hostel. It is a place where you can walk to view the GION area without bus or train to get there. I was so happy to choose JAM as my hostel to stay 4 nights. Thank you very much.
VietnamThis was a great Hostel for staying in Kyoto for my wife and I. The location was perfect and allowed us to get around kyoto very easily by train. It's also near some really beautiful shrines and food locations. The room was clean and we slept well on the beds all 3 nights. There were 4 others in the room with us and they all were very considerate.
