Good place, but staff member was quite rude

My stay was mostly pleasant. The shared female dorm was comfortable and affordable and I stayed in a quiet private room on my last day that was very cozy, also at a good price. Luggage storage was helpful post-checkout.

very nice, cleane, calm place to stay plus i really liked the location it was a bit out of turist madness but also very easy to get to all places ypu need to. Its close by public train station and next to it is place where you can rent bike which i would recomend its also very close by the river so rent your bike and go to cycle along the river. I would defenetly come back.

Great!

The location is great. It is not in the center, but very close to Kyoto University and train station, as well as restaurants, convience stores and Kamo river. The host is very friendly also. There are lots of books at the shared place on the first floor, and fully equiped kitchen as well.

One of the worst experiences we’ve had in 6 months of backpacking.

(Continued negatives from below) You’re also locked out between midnight and 6am. We thought this was fine but we’re very glad we moved hotels because the second night we were meant to be staying there, we met new friends at a bar and stayed out until just before 1am. So we would have had to keep a close eye on the clock and cut our time short or would have been locked out until 6am. It seems like a good deal and reasonable restrictions but it’s really not worth it. Just pay a little more for literally anywhere else.

My stay at the guesthouse was a very good experience for me. I learned how to share space.

Its proximity to shops, bus stops and more importantly to the venue of the event I added.

Clean, Adequately quiet and Comfortable!

Facilities and furnitures were all very clean. Saw them cleaning it daily which made my stay very comfortable. As not a lot of guests were around, I was able to make myself comfortable in the common area, utilising the space and quietness for reading or browsing the web.

Best place to stay in Kyoto

All the staff are really nice and attentive, really helpful and accommodating if possible. The place is clean, spacious and quiet at all times, it's located in a great area, near the subway station, busses, and lots of stores and restaurants around. The rooms are comfortable and the bed space is a lot bigger than it looked in the pictures, it was a really nice stay, would have stayed even longer if they hadn't been sold out. They received my luggage from the airport and when I left they helped me to get a taxi with all my suitcases, I completely recommend this hostel, I miss it already! ❤
