    The stair at gojo station if you have a big laguage will became challenging. The room not spacious for us 4 person but what did you expect from hostel?

    Near gojo station. Im requesting female floor and i got it. Laguage : can store laguage before check in and after check out. Smooth check in and check out Pyjamas provided Walkable to 7eleven

    The bathrooms being on seperate floors were a different concept but very manageable. Wouldn’t recommend staying more than 3-4 nights without having a bathroom in your room.

    Cute little compacted living accommodation Very close to train stations and restaurants

    Great budget hotel for a few night's stay

    There is no mini fridge in the room so you have to buy your next day breakfast at morning if you want to eat something chilled.

    The hotel is within a 1 minute walk from Gojo station with many restaurants and konbinis as well, so we had everything we needed close to us. The room was small but it was totally fine, the size is the regular Japanese room size. We had enough space to put our stuff and also open two big luggage at the same time. The shower rooms are divided nicely, and amenities are also provided in the shower and in the powder room as well. We did not hear any of our neighbours during our stay, which was great.

    I had some trouble with the laundry. I accidentally hit the wrong button after my clothes finished washing and it then ran the machine cleaning cycle on my clothes and there was no option to stop it! It might be good to have more machines because there was a bit of a queue.

    I really liked the concept of this hotel. The breakfast was fantastic and it was cool that they gave you pyjamas to wear. The facilities were extremely clean. I would definitely stay here again.

    some rude visitors dont respect the minimal rules like not listening to music on speaker in shared places and not cleaning after them after making a mess in the bathroom... the thing to ventilated your room isn't really working well...

    the perfect for a short trip, close to the train station and Kyoto station, accessible with elevator. close to kawaramachi and a coin laundry. a lot of restaurant opened late when we come back late from our trip. checking in and out very easy. if you are sharing a room with a friend you can check out earlier or later than your friend without difficulties.

    Hard to fit all of our suitcases into the room, but that's to be expected when everyone in your group is traveling with a lot of luggage.

    Nice central location just one stop on the subway from Kyoto station. All facilities were very clean and well maintained. The lobby is an especially nice place to relax and recharge if you end up arriving earlier than your check in time.

    - from a teacher‘s view it would have been great to have the students on one or two separate floors only. We booked quite early and were divided on four floors, which made control at night really hard / almost impossible.

    - small rooms, but comfortable beds - great breakfast - vending machine - easy access to trains and Kyōto Kawaramachi - easy check-in and -out with our group of 20 people
