if you're a fancy traveller, do not even get close to this guesthouse. However, if you're the type of traveller who will leave the hostel EARLY in the morning and go explore the whole city/town - and come back at night to just throw ur body on the mattress, this place is great. We visited Japan in December2010, and we... More

Good - They offer sheets and small locker for free Bad - NOISY OLD If less money is the best for you, try this guesthouse. One of the cheapest inn in Kyoto. But mind you, the building is very old and you cannot sleep without earcap. May be I was unlucky to stay some nights there with noisy girls in... More

I stayed for 4 nights and very much enjoyed my time here, I am going back later this year. The service was excellent, the staff had excellent recommendations and were allways happy to help us out with advice. The rooms were a great size and the beds were really comfy. The free wi-fi was a big bonus and being close... More

It's beds are clean and there are female dorms( Not that I'm one) But otherwise, the common room is terrible( Pay Internet with a futon that is placed as... More

Stayed two nights with one friend in a private room. Location is close to Kyoto Station which is good but kind of far from everything that you may want to actually go see. The building is really old - they ask you to walk slowly. Shower was fine. Bathroom at a C level. Washer and dryer there (didn't use though).... More

The shared facilities are very old and there are only 2 showers between all of the rooms (16 or so, including several dorms) and the toilets were pretty smelly and old. The kitchen is tiny and...

Very old guest house. You get to hear absolutely everything. I was in a private room, with no privacy... Unclean. I found a mop of hairs (not mines)in my bed the very same day I checked in. I was biten by bugs all night. Public toilets are cleaner. Careless staff . No explanations about how to make a Japanese-style bed... More

Didn't enjoy our stay here at all. We were wanting one more night in Kyoto as its amazing so we booked this place at short notice in a busy period. Welcome was fine. Outside of the building fine too. The inside is old, creaky and dark. The shared facilities are very poor. The kitchen is the smallest I have seen.... More
