Kioto Hostellit

"1. The price is cheap, but the location is good. 2. There was a musty smell as soon as we entered. Even though it was new in 2025, it's probably because the house hasn't been properly renovated. 3. There are no slippers in the shoe-off area. 4. There is no disinfectant liquid in the restroom, and everyone has to share a pair of slippers when taking off shoes. 5. There is only one towel for the floor mat when entering the bathroom. It's not changed for each person, and there is no diatomaceous earth mat either. 6. The non-stick coating of the pot in the kitchen has peeled off. 7. The paint on a pair of chopsticks is chipped and peeling. 8. It looks like only one sponge is used for washing dishes & kitchen sink (since there's only one sponge available)."

"Good location, walkable to metro station and some tourist attractions. Provides shoe rack and slippers to change upon entering, has lift to access all floors. Shared kitchen and common area is spacious and comfortable, provides kitchenware, stove, cutleries, coffee and tea. Toilets and bathroom are clean and equipped with hairdryer. There is storage under bunk bed but need to prepare your own lock and key. Has airconditioning in the room. Paid washer and dryer available."

"This is the worst accommodation experience I’ve had during my trips to Japan. In the past, my visits to Japan have always been perfect—truly a paradise for travelers from around the world. However, lately, I’ve noticed a surge of Indian people in places like convenience stores and hotel front desks, which has led to some negative experiences for me along the way. I usually brushed them off as minor, but this hotel stay was unacceptable and I have to speak up. At check-in, the Indian front desk staff was indifferent and dismissive, which already set a bad tone. Then, when I went to bed around midnight, I discovered that the room only had two flat bedsheets—no duvet cover (comforter cover) and no pillowcases at all. It was very late, so I didn’t want to disturb anyone by calling reception again, and I ended up sleeping uncomfortably without proper bedding—yet another hassle caused by the Indian staff. If the hotel management sees this review, please seriously reconsider hiring Indian staff. They are ruining Japan’s reputation and its world-famous service industry! I hope this feedback helps improve things for future guests."

"As a solo traveler, I highly recommend this hostel for its exceptional quality and value. I stayed in a private room for just one night, but the experience was memorable. The location is convenient, with easy access to transportation and nearby attractions, although it’s not the most centrally located spot in Kyoto. What truly stood out was the service—staff members were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and eager to help with any needs or questions. The amenities were also top-notch, including clean and comfortable facilities, well-maintained common areas, and thoughtful extras that made my stay even more enjoyable. If I ever return to Kyoto, I wouldn’t hesitate to choose this hostel again. It’s a perfect option for solo travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and excellent service."

"I stayed in a 6-person dorm, and it was very noisy. Nobody seemed to care about others resting; there were loud ”whispers” in English from time to time. Various noises started as early as 6 am. It felt like I was back in Europe, experiencing the same noise and indifference from fellow travelers."

"Authentic experience, just what we were looking for! The place was traditional and felt real. Toilets were good, as were the showers, all amenities were fine. I was a little apprehensive about the self check in but it was really easy and straight forwards. Japanese rice porridge was included and a nice touch. Overall, the stay was perfect, exactly what we wanted."

"Наша семья из 4-х человек останавливалась на 1 ночь в этом хостеле. Расположение неплохое, в несколько остановок от вокзала, можно и пешком. Рядом остановки автобусов следующих к вокзалу и в город. Сам номер имел спальные места на 3 человека, мини кухня, хороший санузел с электронными наворотами унитаза, как в прочем, во всей Японии. Полноценная ванная комната, правда пользоваться разрешили только душем. Полотенца и постельное бельё были хорошего качества и чистоты. Неудобно на 3-й этаж было подниматься а потом спускаться по лестнице. Нам нужна была одна ночь, поэтому нас это жильё устраивало."
