“Comfy dorms and perfect location in Gion”
Comfortable beds and really well controlled temperature in dorms - not stuffy at all despite them being big! Also the perfect location in Gion and for Japan standards reasonably social you hang around for long enough.

It is walking distance from all the main attractions or at least 1-2 bus stops. Good value for money.

Dorm bunks felt very private even in such a big room. Showers were always clean. Good position on a quieter street, good for walking and wandering

The location is amazing. It is located in a very central area. You can walk to the principal touristic points and easy access to train stations too. Everything in the room seems to be quite new. Bed is very comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. Bathroom was mostly clean. They have a lift and there is a separate floor for woman and men.
