This was definitely a highlight. The bathhouse is a bit small but when you have it to yourself it is amazing. Area is pretty good, close to the market. Staff are really helpful and even let me check in early! Just the facilities are a bit old but that's what the experience is for ig.

the place is really a good location. Near the ninenzaka, kiyomizu temple, gion district and bus stop. If you like night/morning walking around those area, i can say this place is really a good location. and near the supermarket if you want to buy something and eat it in your room.

Rent och fräscht boende!

Ett väldigt rent och fräscht hostel med närhet till buss och Giondistriktet! Det ligger bra restauranger uppe på stora gatan, ca 7 min promenad bort. Jag hade kanske önskat att det fanns möjlighet till frukost på boendet, men det finns inget kök bortsett från mikro och kyl. Annars som sagt, rent och fräscht!

とても満足

友達と二段ベッドのツインルームに泊まらせて頂きました。シンプルながらもグリーンやドライフラワーがたくさんあり、箇所に木の暖かみも感じられる内装でした。また2階は靴を脱いで上がるので家に帰ってきた様な感覚ですごく落ち着きます。外国の方にも少し日本の家の雰囲気を感じて貰えるのではないでしょうか(^^)　お部屋に入った時とても良い香りだったのが印象に残っています♪もちろんベッドシーツや床に汚れ等はなく清潔感も満足です。細かい気遣いが感じられ、女性一人でも安心して泊まれると思います。 シャワーは24時間利用可能で、館内の出入り口もスマートフォンで開閉できるので時間を気にすることなく観光や食事ができます。少し歩いて大きな通りに出ればお店や神社仏閣がたくさんあり、散策しながら歩けば祇園や河原町まであっという間でした。心遣い、サービス、料金、立地すべて満足です。また京都に遊びに行った時は利用したいと思います！

It’s exactly what you expect - a minimalist, simple room. Location is great, being close to lots of touristy stuff while feeling like you’re in amoungst the locals. Supermarket next door was great, and some yummy spots to eat at nearby. About 10 minutes walk to Gion area, 15 to Kiyomizu-dera

A great experience!

The place was very clean and in great condition. I loved the interior design. It was modern with clean lines and very pleasing to the eyes. The owner/ receptionist Junya was friendly and helpful. The room was smaller than I had expected, but for the price this was a good bargain in the Kyoto district. I would stay there again the next time I visit. : ) Thank you Junya san.
