Hostels in Kyoto

I loved this place. Everythig nwas convenient, cheap but oh so classy. Everything was provided in the public restroom from toothbrushes to hairproducts and even shaving utilitites. The capsule itself was also very comfortable and easy to sleep in. The Onsen (spa) was a great addition, and it was just a magical stay. In many ways better than getting a hotel room. Oh, but if you are shy like me, I wouldn...

The location is ideally, right in the center of the city and close to metro station. The common area, the bathroom and caspsule beds were very clean.. perfect for solo travellers

Our stay at this hotel was excellent, so much so that we booked 4 more nights at the sister hotel in Tokyo. The staff were phenomenal, we were provided with more toiletries than I’ve ever seen before (toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, Q-tips, pajamas, hair gels and products, lotion, soap, shampoo, body wash, slippers, floss, razors, bottled water, earplugs… the list goes on. The food provided for...

Perfect place to stay in Kyoto, you are close from everything, the capsules are clean so are the bathrooms. The complementary breakfast, hot drinks, soda and a full range of different alcool are a bonus. The front office staff did not speak much English but they did their hardest to try. They also have a translating voice machine which is just magical.

First time in a capsule hotel and I just loved it. Everything is made to let you enjoy your stay. Bathrooms are clean (with a lot of amenities displayed), bed is so comfy with charger cable, earplugs, locker, TV ect .. If you forgot something, they’ll have it for sure and for free. The staff is very friendly and take the time to explain you everything. My only comment is that the team should translate...

I absolutely loved my stay! Everything was super clean and efficient! I will always stay at capsule hotels from now on, and when in Kyoto, Anshin Oyado will be my go to capsule hotel!

Highly recommend. The location is perfect, right in the middle of a very animated street and close to bus stations. The beds are confortable and clean, as well as the amenities.

Great location and friendly service. One small luggage will fit under the bed and you can put backpacks and bags on the top rack inside your sleeping space. Free beer everyday from 5:30-6:30pm in the common area is a plus!

It is a perfect place to stay if you are traveling on a budget. It was very clean and smelled good. The sleeping pod was very comfortable. I would definitely choose here again when I come to Kyoto in the future.

Bed was very comfortable and the area was very quiet. Added bonus was having a laundry on the level to dry my clothes as while I was there it was very heavy rain so I was soaked.

Best hostel including incredibly comfortable bed and well designed lounge. The appliances are from balmuda and they offer free beers and coffee. It definitely surpassed my expectations.

Good location Good zone for rest Administration is good too It is not convinient place for sleeping -noisy

Best place to stay. The room is big, but the bathroom is not inside.

Check-in time ends too early and you can't go out at night

For the price its a good deal. However, note that the room is really small. We had to open our suitcases on the table to save space.

The space is enough to open two suitcases. It's OK. The public space is large and there are free instant noodles and popsicles to eat at night There is a dedicated luggage storage area where you can lock your own luggage

The hostel is not bad in principle, but the breakfasts are nothing special, they give you a hot dog and a bun with mayonnaise, there was hair on the bed, the pillows were dented, the washbasin in the room is very small and uncomfortable, and the noise is very strong, you can hear everyone talking and walking along the corridor. There are also advantages, they also give you free noodles and ice cream...

It was a little difficult that there was no bathroom in the room, but there was a sink, so it was somewhat comfortable, and the bed was wide, so it was really nice! The room and shower facilities were clean, so I was satisfied with the accommodation. The quick turnaround area, baggage storage, and shower facilities are all on the basement floor. There is a cafe-like space on the first floor that serves...

super comfy beds, clean bathrooms and amazing shower

There are a number of low-rated reviews, but I'm very satisfied and my favorite inn. If everyone is so nervous, don't stay at a hotel in the first place, but pay for it and stay at a high-priced hotel directly connected to Kyoto Station. How about requesting more service than the price even if you stay at a cheap price? The facility is new and clean. The interior is fashionable. The clerk is also friendly...

English speaking Staff, Guitar and Ukulele at the bottom floor. One free big towel and a nice tree house looking bunk bed. Easy and direct explanations. Also, it looks really modern. I got the bunk beds for 1800yen in total. Will do again if I need a place. I LOVE IT.

Simply great! Kind and helpful staffs and nicely designed and perfect facilities. Moreover, it’s close to the main Kyoto station. Definitely recommended 🙌🏻🙌🏻.

Nice facilities, clean rooms and friendly employees.

A very nice hostel. I would definitely recommend it.

Good location. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Nice common area. Free tea and coffee, free umbrellas to use. Well equipped kitchen. Everything is clean and organised. I would definitely stay again.

Arrived at 10 which still not the time for check in, but the staff understand my situation and very nicely let me check in earlier and bring me to my room, so i dont have to rush and check in on 3 pm. Really appreciate theres lots of restrooms, the only problem is the room is a bit muggy. Other than that, its really nice

it’s so convenient to stay. I hope it’s more comfortable separate shared bathroom for men and women.

good service. Clean and tidy. Bed wasn’t that big. For 2 people so so in a bed

A capsule hotel and sauna located along Shijo Street. This time, I only used the sauna. The sauna front desk is on the 6th floor, the lockers are large, and the inside of the building is very spacious and clean. A large-scale renovation was completed a few years ago, and in addition to the large sauna, there is also a sauna on the rooftop, and there is also plenty of outdoor bathing space. The jacuzzi...

the onsen, spa and sauna is like the best i experience in kyoto man. very comfortable and relaxing. the breakfast was very good with alot of different varieties everyday.

Great location, love the spa option. Lots of rules. If you have tattoos you can cover it with bandage's

Just a few minutes walk from Gion-Shijo station and not that far from the shopping streets. Great service and location, however, was kinda disappointed with the capsule as I felt stuffy inside and ventilation weren't that great. I do love the sauna though, there's the roof sauna and hot spring. Perhaps the sauna could indicate more English posters to educate the tourists on proper sauna etiquette

Honestly the best capsule hotel I've seen so far! The perfect location, very friendly staff, clean rooms, etc. The free sauna use is amazing, there are various kinds of sauna and baths that you can enjoy and even massages that aren't expensive.

Staying the Capsule for Men here for twice and I still like to come back again. The Capsule hotel was amazing, they provide very good buffet breakfast (Japanese & Western). Onsen, hot & cold bath, sauna room was super nice which located at the top floor & rooftop (the onsen water will change to medicine or spices everyday). Besides, you can rest at the roof top after soaking at the Onsen that is...

Nice place... many shower room... free yukata for photo... free coffee and tea... helpful receptionist... very recommended. Best regards from Indonesia

We stayed at Khaosan for a week. It is very good bang for your buck. The beds are comfortable with an individual curtain. The room AC kept the room cool even on the 5th floor. Each bed also comes with a locker within the room. The bathrooms and showers are clean. You can hang your laundry to dry on the rooftop. The shared kitchen/lounge is a great place to cook/eat/relax. Although breakfast is not...

Great place, exactly how I remembered it back in 2016. The staff is incredibly friendly. Good location and close to the station. The place was clean and the hallways were quite. I will definitely stay here again

Great area, we walked along the river and it was very very nice. spacious kitchen and common area! Rooms are dark and dated. The wall paper is atrocious. So it isn't a perfect place. But if you are not picky like me, you should be able to enjoy it reasonably well.

Great hostel. Friendly helpful service. Nice and clean. Tidy facilities, including full sized kitchen, and laundry. Rooftop area has nice views. Great locatiom near Gion and the river. Would love to stay here again.

The location is close to the subway and a couple of convenience stores. There's a nice restaurant next door and a bath house nearby. There's a shared shower, but they do have a women only shower on the third floor. You can walk to the Gion district easily. The staff speaks excellent English.

- Despite being a hostel the bed was comfortable and the pod was spacious - Beautiful interior and exterior - Excellent location - 17 minute walk to Kyoto station. Less if you’re taking transport. Made it a lot easier to to day trips - Bathroom facilities were great. Always clean. - Staff were extremely helpful - My friend and I had a problem with our kimono booking and the staff member went above...

I like the bed is very comfortable for a hostel and i really like the lounge area its very cozy.

Our room was clean and spacious. common area was very nice and all the necessary appliances could be found there.

The personal was fantastic and agradable even after the stay.

Decent hostel but not worth the cost. Pros: 1. Very close to metro station. 2. Provides Tea/coffee and basic bread. 3. Has kitchen and cooking facilities for guests. 4. Clean washroom. Cons: 1. Average quality room. 2. Uncomfortable beds. 3. Very slow internet, wifi not working properly.

Very nice hotel, pretty cheap. Breakfast consists of different sorts of toast with a small selection of jam with butter on the side. As for drinks at breakfast there is coffee, matcha and cold water. Since it's free don't expect anything fancy. Rooms are clean and lockers for rooms with multiple people are pretty big (probably 1.2m x 30cm) Staff is very helpful and friendly (japanese and English...

By far one of the best hostels I've stayed in - the cleanliness and interior was reminiscent of a 4-star hotel! Location was great, staff were friendly, and absolutely no complaints. It was definitely a highlight on my first trip to Japan late 2019.

Facilities are good but need improvement, albeit that might not be easy. We arrived here from a long holiday, so we had quite some luggage. The standard rooms are really and really small. 7.5 m2 for 2 people with double bed; you do the math yourself. Of course, I should have known during the booking but it isn't told really explicitly unless you go to details of the room. Moreover, they should add...

Great location and place was clean

- Great location on the main road, only few steps walking to bus stations. Easy to go around the city - Friendly English speaking staffs - Chilling atmosphere - Comfortable & clean bed, toilet and shower rooms - Fully equipped kitchen in the small common area - Cool bar & restaurant on ground floor - Free complimentary drinks for guests * ทำเลสะดวก อยู่บนถนนใหญ่ เดินไปป้ายรถเมล์ไม่กี่ก้าว, บร...

Convenient transportation, there is a bar downstairs, the room is clean, and the luggage storage fee for the next day is 300 yen. The front desk is very small and is together with the bar on the first floor. Although there is a bar downstairs, the room is not noisy at all. It is a good experience. Because it is the cherry blossom season, the room price is a little expensive

Great place, I highly recommend!

Nice inexpensive hostel, quiet, has a cafe on the ground floor, bus stop nearby to tourist attractions

a great place stay as it’s on the main street. the staffs were friendly and the bar at the ground floor was such a vibe. I left my wallet (unfortunately) to Tokyo and the staffs were willing to help me to get it delivered asap to tokyo which i appreciate a lot. 10/10!! :) cheers

Very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Stylish, super clean, lovely guest house. Outstanding service.

It was extremely clean, literally spotless! The lounge area was cozy if you just wanted to chill somewhere other than your room and they even had desks in case people need to get work done. The location is great, if you walk about 15 mins you’re already in the fun/central area of Kyoto and it’s incredibly well connected with public transport if you want to go visit famous landmarks in Kyoto.

I live in Kyoto, but I stopped here for lunch (I originally came to pick up a PiPPA rental bicycle) and was really pleased by the quality of the lunch especially for the reasonable price. The ingredients seemed really fresh, for example they use freshly-shaved katsuo flakes. It's in a convenient location and is comfortable and well-ventilated. I'll definitely stop by again next time I'm in the area

Best place to stay if you are in Kyoto. It has a great location, amazing staff and the rooms are really spacious. The breakfast was really fulfilling. They also have different services available like rent a bike. The staff will help you out with a lot of things.

Our stay in Kyoto was vastly improved by the beautiful and multi-talented staff at Niniroom. They had a recommendation for every dinner, and were able to guide us to great tourist spots. My partner Sophie and I loved the breakfast (which is a bargain) and having chats with everyone there. We will definitely be back! Love from Adelaide, Australia.

I cannot say enough nice things about this hostel! All of the staff are incredibly kind and fun. The beds are traditional Japanese futons which are great, they have yoga on Sunday’s. The breakfast is also great value for money. The showers are the nicest I’ve ever used in a hostel and they also have a bathtub you can reserve. We stayed here for 5 nights. All in all, it feels more like a hotel than...

The hotel was great, with the nice authentic rooms and common spaces. Sleeping on the futon was actually pretty comfortable, so we enjoyed it a lot! But it would be better if some accessories (like towels and toothbrushes) were included in the price in advance, so we wouldn’t have to bother counting how much we need to give extra while checking out.

Do not go there for the location, service but for the experience of an authentic one century old Japanese. Priceless!

This is an old-fashioned Japan house, so staying in it was interesting. You also can get free rice porridge in the morning ❤️

Very chill and comfortable stay, WiFi can be a little slow at times and you have to pay for your towels etc, other than that the staffs are all super friendly, speaks good English too.

1 km from Kyoto Station, have to check in by self. Just 1 minutes walk to bus station and convenience store.

We enjoyed the room and the house which is really easily accessible from Kyoto train station (10min by bus). I especially appreciated the suggestions of visits around the hotel, and the public bath recommanded, which I did try! I recommand also the park. A lot of public transport can lift you to the main spots of Kyoto. About the house, it may miss one shower at least, it was a little busy the evening...

The environment is very nice. A comfortable place to live away from the city. There are various room types to choose from. The facilities are very complete. The breakfast is great. There is a bus nearby.

The environment and surrounding makes you feel super comfortable. Sadly, I only stay 1 night but will definitely come back on my next trip to Kyoto, Thanks…

A very cost-effective youth hostel, very large, with a good environment, very quiet location in the suburbs, and high cost-effectiveness

It is just like an ideal society, where everyone uses public facilities with respect, and the facilities are still neatly organized and clean after use. It is a distance away from the city, suitable for tourists who come to Kyoto for a short stay and don't rush to the attractions. I will choose it again if I come to Kyoto alone next time.

The environment is very good, and it is cheap. The food in the cafeteria is also very good.

Good youth hostel you can find many places around and you can also eat inside the youth hotel they have a restaurant

Clean spacious room, nice touch with the personal sink in the room as well. Easy check in and out.

Stylish, but extremely small hostel. One toilet and one shower bath on each floor to serve 5 double rooms. Definitely no intimacy. Good location and very good price.

Not adding any pics as there are more than enough already. This place was AMAZING! Location was perfectly situated close to the heart of all things ancient Japan; which is what the Gion region is popular for. At the same time, it's no more than a 10 minute stroll to the Nishiki market and shopping district. The premises itself was exceptionally clean and I'm not sure it could have been any better in...

The nicest and coziest place. The staff is wonderfully friendly and everything is very convenient. Quiet and peaceful, clean, efficient and helpful. And the price is amazing. What could ask more? X)

Location is quite convenient with several public baths and supermarkets within 5 minutes walk. Popular tourist destinations such as Kiyomizu Temple and Todaiji are also within walking distance. The rooms are small but comfortable. Nicely decorated modern inn with a friendly owner. The guesthouse is very new and very clean. Would defintely recommend to anyone who don't mind shared bathrooms with people...

Great place. Great location. Close to bus and stores. Lower bunk bed a bit hard and walls very thin. That was also not really a problem since everybody staying there were very respectful and quiet during the evenings. Fresh showers and bathrooms. If I ever come back I would definitely consider staying here again.

I stayed in a four-person room. The mattress and quilt were very comfortable. My roommates were both German and Japanese. They were all very quiet and polite. A very clean traditional Japanese hotel. It was a good opportunity for me to experience Japanese home life. The boss was also very nice. It was raining in Kyoto and I checked out. She also gave me an umbrella. I would recommend everyone to stay...

This is a dormitory-style guesthouse next to Kyoto University, not a youth hostel, which is also its charm in my opinion. Living here requires consideration for others and certain climbing skills. In short, whether the accommodation is good or not depends mainly on the roommate, which is a matter of luck and probability. The store itself has done its best.

Clean and nice hostel in a quiet area. A bit far from the center, but there is a metro station nearby. Also nearby is a supermarket. I liked the room for 4 guests and the spacious common area. Showers and toilets are in good condition.

The futons, shared spaces, and bathrooms were clean, the room was warm, and there were plenty of handy things like tissues and hairdryers, so I had a comfortable stay. As a dormitory, it was perfect and I slept soundly. The owner and staff were kind and reassuring. I'd like to use this hostel again if I have business at Kyoto University.

Quiet and clean space for solo travellers!

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...

Everything is fine, they gave me a family photo. Clean room in Japanese style

The staff is friendly. The room is a tatami room so you can't put your suitcases in it. You can only put your suitcases in the entrance. The toilet and bathroom are separated, making it convenient for multiple people to live in the same room. It was OK for the three of us to sleep, but if we had more suitcases, it might be a bit troublesome to pack.

This was a great place to stay! As mentioned by teachers and others who have taken school groups to Japan, what makes this place special is the owner. I recently took a school group of 25 students and 3 teachers to Japan and we stayed at the Sparkling Dolphins Inn with in Kyoto. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. Our students commented on how the futons were very cosy and warm during the cold...

beautiful, simple japanese style tatami room 5 minutes walk from the train station–couldn't ask for more as a solo traveler! I could live in a tatami room forever...

I recently took a school group of 18 students and 4 teachers to Japan and we stayed at the Sparkling Dolphins Inn with in Kyoto. The students and staff absolutely loved staying at this inn as the rooms were very comfortable and clean. The futons were cosy and the air conditioning was very welcome in the heat. Each room was very clean and towels were replaced every day. The real joy in this inn is...

The outside is a glass door, and you can see that there is a Japanese-style sliding door inside. The owner is very kind, and the room is not too crowded. It is suitable for two to three people to live together. In terms of transportation, there is a certain distance from Kyoto Station. You can walk there, you can go to department stores, etc., and you can also go to shrines and other viewing spots...

Very satisfied, the landlady is very nice

Not bad, I will stay here again in the future, I can feel the Kyoto atmosphere here. This hotel gave me the feeling of a guest house. The house was the old lady’s original residence, which was converted into a B&B. The decoration conditions are obviously better than those of ordinary commercial B&Bs. There are many books, including sets of comic books, see picture. There was no waiter because there...

Used in December 2016. Close distance to Kamikatsura station. The twin room was reasonably large, the toilet and shower room were clean, the price was low, and the landlady was kind.

Two minutes from the station, a seven eleven nearby and a very friendly team who wants to help you in your visits. The rooms are pretty nice with kotatsu and tatamis, we had a balcony to expand our stuff. The rooftop is very nice you can smoke there and drink a few glasses. The showers are clean and the public areas are very well maintained. Bicycles can be rented for 500 yen and books and manga are...

The host and hostess are great! They are so kind and helpful. Also, they keep the house very clean and want you to know you are welcome. We loved staying here and will definitely be back if we come to Kyoto again. It's in a normal neighborhood on the west side of town. Right on the train line. Groceries 5 min walk, fun neighborhood places to eat at. Wish the rooms were a little bigger and the walls...

Nice and clean, host can speak English

Had breakfast here— the food was really good and the coffee is exceptional. It was only the owner (?) who was working in the cafe so it may take awhile if it’s busy (maybe 10-15 minutes). The place isn’t very big and seating is limited (maybe 5 groups of people) but the owner is very nice and it’s noticeable how much care he puts into the food and coffee. The place is so well decorated as well that...

The hospitality and excellent coffee, combined with beds that'll give you a good night's sleep!

The best breakfast set you can get in town. For just about 1200yen, you can get a coffee or hot chocolate drink with sandwiches, hard-boiled egg, and cereal with yogurt. The cappuccino was strong and creamy as it should be. It’s our 2nd time here and we’re always satisfied with our meal and the service. The chef is friendly and he speaks English as well. I feel our stay in Kyoto won’t be complete without...

We were looking for a place to have breakfast and we came across this hidden gem, this place is the temple of good Italian style coffee. We ordered a full breakfast with coffee included. The owner takes his time to make the perfect coffee and likes to chat about life with customers. The coffee beans he uses are from a well-known brand of high-quality Italian coffee, which you can even buy at his...

Love the atmosphere in this cafe. On top of that the coffee and food is top notch. Speaking of the coffee, the foam is perfect. Has such lightness but still maintains its structure. The espresso is perfectly extracted. So delicious. The sandwich is so good as well. There’s a sauce in the panini that compliments the thick cut ham and lettuce. 100% would recommend anyone in the area to check this cafe...

Nice breakfast experience! Should be a good try if you could not decide what to eat. Cozy and chill environment. The owner is a professional barista and life lover, which can been seen inside the shop. Definitely will revisit if around Kyoto again.

Had a great stay here with my family. Very comfortable and pretty traditional japanese setting. Had a nice experience! Our hosts were very kind and helpful. You couldn't find better hosts and caretakers! A little far from the bus stop and rest of town but results in a nice walk through the residential neighborhood. Only about 13 mins to the bus stop to town.

A different stay in Kyoto, away from the crowds, in the mountain. The rooms are bigger than the standard Japanese, and the hosts are very friendly. There is a 10' walk until the closest bus station, and when it is hot it can be a bit harder, but nothing crazy.

Very far from the center and bus station. But very kind staff. When we were here it was very cold weather, so the toilet and bathroom on the terrace didn't good. But in warm weather must be nice with amazing view.
