Hostels in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

This hostel provides free bath and face towels, which was super convenient and comfortable for my three-day stay. Everything was great; the showers had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, and the toilet in the bathroom was clean and even heated. The smoking area is outdoors. When I came back in the evening, there were even guests playing Contra in the lobby. It was a very pleasant stay.

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.

Convenient stay: convenient, good attitude Safe: Traveling alone is safe Facilities: comprehensive, there is a family kitchen underneath, the atmosphere is very good Environment: clean

Very satisfied with my last stay, clean and comfortable This time, I felt that the dishwashing staff on the second floor were really busy. I didn't dare to stay for a long time. I felt like they were unhappy. They were like this at night and during the day when the food was being collected... I just happened to be in a good mood. Yeah..but it’s awesome even if the bowl is too loud and the cup is not broken👍

My experience was perfect. The front desk attendant was very helpful and kind. The room was exactly like in the photos. Good facilities and she let us leave our luggage until 4PM. I highly recommend this place. The best guesthouse I have stayed so far.

Kyoto Inn: Overview • The Vibe: Exceptional. The property stands out for its positive energy and welcoming community of travelers and staff. • Human Connection: A great spot to meet locals and fellow travelers, making it easy to share experiences. • Atmosphere: Highly recommended for those prioritizing a friendly, high-energy environment. Important Logistics to Note While the stay is overwhelmingly positive, there are two practical details to keep in mind regarding luggage: 1. Locker Size: The on-site lockers are not designed for large suitcases or bulky hiking packs. It is best suited for smaller valuables or day bags. 2. Deposit Policy: Be prepared to provide a security deposit for locker usage. It’s a good idea to have some spare yen in cash ready upon arrival for this. Quick Tips for Your Stay • Luggage Strategy: If you are traveling with large bags, consider using a Takkyubin (luggage forwarding service) to send your heavy gear to your next destination, or check if the front desk can store larger items in a common area. • Socializing: Take advantage of the common areas in the evening; it sounds like the best part of the experience happens there. It's great that you had such a human-centric experience! Kyoto is a city that really rewards taking the time to connect with the people around you.

Excellent hostel in the heart of Kyoto! I really loved the Japanese-style common area (open 24 hours). Overall, it was clean, but I did see a cockroach in the kitchen, which made me lower my cleanliness rating! It's a shame they don't provide slippers and towels.

The location not far from Kyoto Station was not bad and the neighborhood was quiet. The room was a good size to stay alone and the staff was friendly and nice! The bedding is clean but it seems that there is some dust in the room if it is not well ventilated. (If there is dust, it is left from the nose) The hanger jacket on the wall was missing, so I couldn't hang my clothes. I hope the shared washbasin and tea table are cleaned better! And it was a little bit like paying only one towel for four nights. If there are a few improvements, it seems to be the perfect hotel

It's a 6-minute walk from Demachiyanagi Station, and there are convenience stores and supermarkets nearby, so it's a good location. There is a kitchen in the shared space on the second floor, which is very convenient for those who want to cook for themselves. There are also free drinks, manga, and books. The third floor is a dormitory space, and it is air-conditioned and clean, but in the case of mixed-gender accommodation, the upper bunk beds are not completely separated, so there is no privacy, which is a bit tough, especially for women. The lower bunk beds have curtains that can be closed, so I think they're fine... There are showers and toilets on both the second and third floors. It's good when it's not crowded, but if it's crowded, it may be a hassle to wait in line. There is a curfew, and you can't go out until 6:00 in the morning, so it may be a bit inconvenient for those who want to go out early in the morning.
