First time staying in a hostel and I was very pleasantly surprised. I booked a room for four adults with a private bathroom. It was very clean and quite comfortable. We only needed a bed for one night so worked out good. Not to get from Kyoto station - we walked to the hotel.
Very foreigner friendly. The front desk speaks English and they are able to accommodate any issue you may have. Their breakfast is delicious bread! They wash the dishes so you put them in the sink afterwards. The location is perfect too, everything is within a decent train ride distance. Overall, I would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
It was my first time solo traveling but this place felt safe and welcoming. Rooms and bathrooms were nice and clean. Totally would book again next time I come back!
I waited over half an hour to check in as no one was at the front desk, and when I wanted to do laundry no one was at the front desk. The facilities are fine with a basic breakfast of toast and jam, and there was water, coffee, and tea available 24/7. The room could have had a coatrack or space dedicated to luggage storage; it felt quite cramped compared to other places I stayed with a similar setup.
