Haruya Higashiyama in Kyoto

Lovely little traditional Japanese wooden house turned hostel, they have free porridge in the morning and little snacks and tea in the relaxing area. Room was clean and comfortable and the price was fantastic.

Very authentic and nice

Nice hostel close to Gion. I spent a good time there.

This is a very unique hotel. It has no central heating, making it impossible to sleep in the evenings and at night. There's air conditioning, which is supposed to replace the heating, but it's not up to the task. One downside is that the toilet and sink are located outside. Washing up in the morning requires all the strength you need to go outside in November in light clothing and wash your face with cold water. I didn't book food at this hotel, although they served watery rice porridge in the morning, which we ate reluctantly. One positive is that the building is 100 years old, making it truly the most traditional accommodation available at a low cost. However, be prepared to pay for ALL necessary services and amenities. Towels and face towels are extra, as are dental supplies. I definitely won't be returning to this hotel again when visiting Kyoto.

The walls in the room were like cardboard—very thin. The glass facing the street made everything very loud, including people walking above. When booking, specify that you want a room away from the entrance, otherwise you'll hear everyone coming and going. The room only had a toilet and sink. The shower, refrigerator, microwave, kettle, and kitchenette were shared. You could get tea and coffee for free. Overall, it was okay for a Japanese-style room.

Great house, very convenient to check in. Very private and affordable! The bed is very comfortable, all kinds of facilities are very complete, free tea is available 24 hours a day, and the owner is attentive and enthusiastic.

This hostel's rooms are located on the first floor, making them ideal for those traveling with large luggage. The rooms are spacious and have their own private toilet, though bathrooms are shared with other guests. Delicious porridge is provided each morning, adding a warm touch. A washing machine is also available (600 yen) for extended stays. Located within a local wet market, the hostel offers a quiet and authentic local atmosphere, offering an ideal combination of convenience and comfort.

So Nixe Place to stay, but toilet is outside.
