  • Perfect location in Kyoto. Just a short walk to the Geisha district, some temples and the main shopping street. We also find a lot of cool pubs and bars just a cross the river. A nice sake bar in the ground floor at the hostel. Nice rooms, clean showers, and all over nice people. The common room (aka. lounge) was smaller than expected, but we meet a lot of great people there! If you ever go to Kyoto. Eat the Fried Shrimp Roll at Cho Jiro. It's AMAZING!

  • The female dorm room is small but fine. No curtain around the bed. No air conditioner. It might be very hot in summer, but in winter it's worm. Some reading lights are not work, might need to check. Good location!! Generally, it's value for money.
