Truly unique and nice

Clean, quiet, well-equipped and most important, very beautiful and artistic! One of my favorite place to stay in Kyoto, will definitely come back again. The staff are very gracious, nice and friendly too. Yet there is no elevator, but only one floor of stairs to carry.

This hostel was very clean. The shared bathroom is fairly spacious. The showers and toilet rooms are larger than most Japanese hotels. The sleeping pods get a little by hot at night, but nothing out of the ordinary. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The curry breakfast is amazing and is super reasonable at 600¥ and includes a beverage and yogurt. The whole vibe of this place was very soothing and relaxing. I will definitely stay here next time when I get the chance!

Really great hostel. Super friendly staff. Not a long walk from the station. Only downside is that the rooms don’t really get dark at night due to the windows that open to the floor below, which always has its lights on.
