The hostel is near the bamboo forest and restraunts. They don’t keep luggage past 12pm which is an inconvenience, however everything else about the hostel is great.

I stayed at Mulan Hostel during my visit to Kyoto and really enjoyed the quiet, comfortable atmosphere. The room was small but clean and well-organized, with everything I needed. The staff were kind and helpful, and the location made it easy to get around. A simple, peaceful place to rest after a day of exploring.

Having stayed in Arashiyama already for 1 day at another nearby hotel, I hadn’t anticipated liking the area so much. I located Mulan Hotel and stayed in the dorm bed for 2 nights. Being the only guest there, the beds and common areas (such as bathrooms, kitchen etc) were clean. They had access to a washing machine and dryer which was appreciated after 2 weeks of travel.
Presented with a discount coupon for the neighbourhood onsen, 2 minutes walk from the hotel is a must! They also have bikes for hire, which made exploring the local area and neighbourhood really enjoyable.
Price is great for those on a budget. The bus stop to return to Kyoto Station is 80m from the front entrance. Be mindful its 15-20 minute walk to the major sites and main restaurants.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended and I look forward to my visit there again soon!

They overbooked so I ended up upgrading for a fee that Trip.com compensated. The place is very small but beautifully decorated, very clean, perfect location to explore the overrated Bamboo Forest, many temples around and the MOnkey Forest. The staff is friendly and the coffee machine is beautiful. The private room is cozy but the mattress was terrible. I did not sleep at all. It is far from the rest of the attractions in Kyoto.

For me it was the best hostel yet! They let you use the washing machine and dryer for free. The rooms and places to place your belongings are big enough. I was really pleased.

사장님이 친절하시고, 시설도 아주 깔끔.화장실과 세면대,샤워실 동선이 편해요. 다만 2,3층 올라가는 계단이 조금 가파르고 좁습니다 캐리어 들고 가시는 분들은 참고 하세용. 배스타올,페이스타올,칫솔,양치컵 주십니다.근처에 온천목욕탕 2000원 쿠폰도 주시니 꼭 받아서 다녀오세요 !걸어서 5분거리에 미니스톱 있고 자전거도 빌릴수 있습니다!
