Great place to stay if you're just looking for a bed with no frills. My friends and I stayed here a while back (Jan 2011) and were extremely happy with the thoughtful and helpful staff. They can speak English and are willing to assist you with directions, places to go etc. It's an easy 10 min walk to the station... More

The staff is nice and helpful, she allowed us to leave our luggage over there as we want to start our exploration early in the morning. The staff here can speak fluent English and she is so kind, even though she has off duty but she still assist us for the room check in. As it is a guest house... More

We had great time here. Toru and Anna were very nice. It's not far from the station.

The hostel is in a good location, in a quiet street about 10 minutes walk from the station. I met some amazing travellers there and are good friends with them now after returning home.

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
