Near Kyoto Station! They offer umbrellas jf it's raining. You have a nice coffee shop on 1st floor and also, breakfast is very very good. You can buy bus tickets if you need at the hostel

Every time I left the hostel and came back, I was always greeted by the hostel staff like I was their friend. I also loved the fact that it was really close to Kyoto station and the bus stop puts you at their front door (or really close to it). And if you are super lazy, there is a train station adjacent to the building that will take you to Kyoto station for about 210yen. I would reccomend this place in a heartbeat to any traveler.

Practically near everything, about 500m from JR lines kyoto station, 100m to kujo subway station there’s a nearby convenience store. Staff are great, helpful and shall i say, Happy bunch of people

Not sure how I’ll structure my review but here goes. First off, it was nice of the staff to let me check in earlier than 3 PM so I can do more things. They also explained the facilities available before they let me off. The beds were clean and very comfortable. The toilets and showers are great. Not to mention, free breakfast comprising of toast, jam, butter, eggs, juice, and milk are available. A water dispenser is also available, which saved me lots of money from buying bottled water. Though you need to pay for coffee, I think it is worth the price since it’s good. It’s very close to the subway station (take Exit 4 of Kujo Station, along the Karasuma Line).

I really liked that they have fun events and even invite their cafe and bar open to the public. The location was great! It was within walking minutes to Kyoto Station! Very easy to find this hostel!

    What guests loved the most:

    “Near Kyoto Station! They offer umbrellas jf it's raining. You have a nice coffee shop on 1st floor and also, breakfast is very very good. You can buy bus tickets if you need at the hostel”

    “Every time I left the hostel and came back, I was always greeted by the hostel staff like I was their friend. I also loved the fact that it was really close to Kyoto station and the bus stop puts you at their front door (or really close to it). And if you are super lazy, there is a train station adjacent to the building that will take you to Kyoto station for about 210yen. I would reccomend this place in a heartbeat to any traveler.”

    “Not sure how I’ll structure my review but here goes. First off, it was nice of the staff to let me check in earlier than 3 PM so I can do more things. They also explained the facilities available before they let me off. The beds were clean and very comfortable. The toilets and showers are great. Not to mention, free breakfast comprising of toast, jam, butter, eggs, juice, and milk are available. A water dispenser is also available, which saved me lots of money from buying bottled water. Though you need to pay for coffee, I think it is worth the price since it’s good. It’s very close to the subway station (take Exit 4 of Kujo Station, along the Karasuma Line). ”
