Lock in a great price for Santiago Guesthouse Kyoto – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

It is an excellent value for money. There are most of the services you could require in a hostel. It s a nice spot to wander around Gion. Just 10min by feet.

Alexis, Martinique

the place is very easy to find and very accessible via train and bus. The facilities were very comfortable and clean!

Hazel, Philippines

I like staying here. I will miss staying in this hostel. Clean, good facilities, have a bar downstair, staffs friendly, good vibe. I have my own space like little room with my own table made from wooden.

Dini, Indonesia

Cool dormitory but too noisy. Some people are leaving there long term and it can get quite messy. Also someone leave an alarm ringing for 30min at 6am...

Marg89, New Zealand

Couldn't believe this place was so cheap! One of the cheapest accommodation options in Kyoto and yet super comfortable beds with a lot of privacy as it's a sort of a hostel take on capsule hotel. Everything was very clean, hostel's in a good location and most noteworthy were the friendly and helpful staff who speak perfect english!

Katarina, Netherlands

Staff very very nice and friendly, location is excellent, perfect stay at a great price

This hostel has been recently renovated and layout changed. I stayed a couple of times before, and the change was good performed, even that before it was already a nice hostel. General ambiance is great. Nice located.

Pcura, Argentina

Santiago is a very nice hostel with good facilities and good location

Roadirsh, France

We stayed in 24 bed dorm room on the 4th floor. Cold AC and comfortable beds. Plenty of room for your stuff. Common area is on second floor with full kitchen. A good place to prepare meals and hang out in the heat of Kyoto. Good location. Really near bus stop. Nice helpful staff.

Jwto, United States of America

Everything you could ask for from a hostel; clean, comfortable, huge beds, modern amenities & helpful hosts. We stayed for 3 nights and it was great :) the location is awesome too; walking distance to Gion and near metro stops.
