I stayed in a 6-person dorm, and it was very noisy. Nobody seemed to care about others resting; there were loud "whispers" in English from time to time. Various noises started as early as 6 am. It felt like I was back in Europe, experiencing the same noise and indifference from fellow travelers.

Really great service from one station to Kyoto and is really quiet 100% would recommend
Best place to avoid too many people and be able to go to nishijiki Market (and more)

Very nice facilities. The hostel looks very new. You even have a new towel every day. Got a very nice bathroom for you to enjoy. The location is convenient. Only 1 station away from Kyoto station.

I love this hostel. Very clean. The bedroom was very nice. I booked a room with bunk beds and a bathroom. It made me feel safe and have lots of privacy. They also have self-service breakfast. There is also a machine to buy drinks within the hostel. The only disadvantage is that it is quite far from the subway, but I can accept that.

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👍

The facilities are really good, it's very spacious, and there's a kitchen. There are also two stations nearby, so it's really great!! If you have a chance to go to Kyoto, I really recommend it!!!

Excellent hotel, ideally located next to the metro, which is very convenient. The reception staff are very friendly. Slippers are provided, and towels are changed daily. I highly recommend this property.

The hotel does not provide toothbrushes and razors, and you need to bring your own towels. It is not very friendly to those who do not bring these toiletries when traveling. The beds in the room are a bit crowded, and the suitcases are placed everywhere in the room, making it difficult to walk. The beds are close to each other, and there is constant noise from other beds when falling asleep. Friends who have light sleep need to buy earplugs. The overall feeling is not very good.

The hotel employees serve extremely efficiently
Arriving at the hotel found I booked the wrong date for the next month
When I rebooked a room on Trip at the Lobby
In less than 5 minutes, an employee came over to help me with the formalities
The room was very clean and the shower room was well decorated and spaced out
Only the 6 person room was really noisy to sleep at night
Travelers will feel the bed moving when getting in and out of bed
If you have to rush to the airport in the morning
It is recommended to rent a hotel near the airport
To avoid not getting enough rest
Overall, though, it was very good

I came here again for the same reason, but the food was not very good considering the price and the amenities were a bit disappointing.
