Kioto Hostellit

"Excellent location. Very close to a konbini and all transport. Fast wifi. Free coffee. They provide towels and you can change your towel every day. On the 1st floor you can dry your hair with a Dyson hair dryer. There's also a hair dryer (a simple one) in the room. The shower has a shampoo, hair conditioner, shower gel and a garbage bin located very conveniently. There are also swabs, tissues and paper towels. There's a fridge and washing machines for 300 yen (coin activated) and a dryer for your clothes for 100 yen. I would definitely recommend this hostel for a friend"

"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)."

"Чистый и приятный хостел в тихом районе. Далековато от центра, но рядом есть станция метро. Также недалеко супермаркет. Понравилась комната на 4 гостя и просторная общая зона. Душевые и туалеты в хорошем состоянии."

"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."

"Pour un voyage seul, je recommande.  Bien situé, à proximité du bus et à quelques minutes à pied du métro.  Par contre si besoin de quelqu’un à la réception, il n’y a personne de 21h à 10h."

"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."

"Pros: close to Kyoto station. They clean your room everyday, provide enough amenities. Shared toilet and bath but clean and not many people staying there, I never met anyone at the corridor in my stay. Put their effort to make the place look artistic (tho a bit fail at times) Cons: surrounding streets are very dark and empty, feel a bit scary walking at night."

"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."

"The house in general is very nice, looks like typical Japanese old building. It’s quite cosy and not far from the train station. There was cleaning everyday. But the was some smudges and dirt on the walls and on the ceiling (I think it’s because the building is quite old). And we had extra pay for some things in the hostel. Anyway I give 5 stars because the price was cheap. For this price it’s a good place to stay"

"客室はとても清潔で心地の良い滞在でした。担当者様も丁寧な対応をしていただきとても助かりました。 また東山に訪れる際は利用させていただきたいと思っております。"
