HARUYA Umekouji TYPE B

It is an old, beautiful and clean wooden house that you can hear everyone within and they can hear you as well.

very good go to the haruya!!!!!

I traveled alone this time, and I found that this hostel has it own charm. The location is near to Kyoto station which is convenient, the staff are good, and most importantly, you can feel like you are staying in old Japanese home, which is a great experience for me. I recommended this hostel for any solo traveler!

small room w/o empty place it was hard to re pack my baggage :( but really cozy it was nice to sleep and public spaces are really nice you can use the public spaces in any other haruya buildings (rest rooms, shower room, tea place, etc) little bit far from the kyoto sta.

Basically staying in a tiny Japanese house. Quite easy to hear everything and facilities are minimalist but that’s clearly what they offer. A quite unique Kyoto experience.

Great place. Convenient traffic and kind of clean. Staffs will leave the building after 9pm is a little inconvenience.

The facilities were beautiful...old traditional ryokan but the room was very small for the price. The staff was phenomenal. Kind and very helpful. But it's a long walk from the station without much around it. And beware that you can't check in until 4pm.

I really loved my stay at Hostel Haruya Book! The receptionist was so kind and helpful, she gave me a map of Kyoto and pinpointed the places that I could go visit around the area. I also loved the traditional ryokan style of the houses. Overall, the place was clean. Our room and beds were big enough, lockers were provided, and there was a sink in the room so we didn't have to go out to the common bathroom to wash our faces and brush our teeth. The only downside is that I found it a little far from Kyoto station, and you need to walk for around 15 minutes (which also consists of using an overpass). I was carrying a heavy bag so that made it hard for me. However, the hostel was close to Kyoto Aquarium and a Mini Stop. Another thing I want to suggest is I hope that they add more bathroom per house because even though you can use the facilities of the other houses, it would be to much of a hassle to go outside and use the bathroom of the other houses. But I definitely had a pleasant stay.

Good

Staff were so polite and helpful, even taking our bags to our room whilst we were out sightseeing. The room was our first experience of a Japanese style accommodation and was very comfortable. Only one minor complaint was the wifi strength was not the same in all buildings, but still worked fine for me! Would definitely stay again!

to recommend

Very helpful staff, clean and well maintained. A little cramped for space but that's to be expected in Japan.

Good in condition of hostel

Great. Traditional and friendly!

El hotel es perfecto para una noche y Kyoto exige una imersion en lo japones como la que ofrece este hotel. Sin ninguna comodidad superflua, todo comunal pero con un sabor intenso a esta cultura. En autobús el sitio está cerca de todo.

Buena relación calidad precio, a 15 mins andando desde la estación o con una parada de bus a 2 minutos del Hostal. No nos faltó de nada en el alojamiento, la única pega el baño en el piso inferior por lo que había que bajar esas odiosas escaleras. Gracias y más gracias al staff por la ayuda prestada para acudir al hospital.

スタッフの方が親切でかんじがいいです。 共用スペースはとても雰囲気が良く、 こんな素敵な古民家に安く宿泊できるなんて最高でした。 気になる点としては、色々なサイトのレビューにも書いてありますが 音が響きます。足音くらいなら許容範囲内なのですが、 ドミトリーの2段ベッド上段に泊まっていたら 真上が2階のトイレだったようで水を流す音が大きくて驚きました…。 あと、京都駅からはバスもありますが、 徒歩だと20分程かかります。 ドミトリー上段を避けてリピートしたいです。

受付が閉まる21時ギリギリに辿り着いたにも関わらず、受付のお姉さんは嫌な顔一つせずに説明や案内をしてくれました。観光のための地図をくれたり、バスや観光の案内までしてくれて、日本人って本当に親切だなぁとつくづく。 グループで泊まっている人たちが消灯までは少々騒がしかったものの、滞在時間も短く、消灯後はみんなできるだけ静かに努めてくれたので、二段ベッドの上り下りがやや面倒臭いのを除いては全く問題ありませんでした。 というか、この料金でこんな古民家をリフォームした素敵な宿に泊まれるだなんてラッキー。ベッドルームには自分のロッカーもあるし、荷物の少ない人は全く問題ないでしょう。シャワールームも湯船と別になった家庭用の小さめのお風呂でした。溝のカビが見えてしまったので、コンタクトを外して入れば良かった。シャンプーなども完備で、そのカビもきっと落ちないのでしょう。その他はすべてとても清潔。 お湯、水、お茶なども用意されており、本がたくさんあるサロンで寛ぐこともできます。自分の棟じゃ なくても使って良いとのこと。 wifiも完備で、場所は西本願寺から徒歩10分。朝6時から1時間のお勤めがあるとチェックイン時に教えてもらい、翌朝参加しました。 室内履きてして草履を貸してもらえます。ハンガーが一人二本あって、ベッドにかけられる方式なので、手拭いは翌朝に乾いていました。その他のものを選択してしまうと厳しいかも。 バスを使えば観光にも便利だし、宿を安く済ませたい日には最適。ほとんど外国人かと思いきや、日本人と半々くらいだそうです。 奈良にもできたようなので、奈良に行くなら使いたいなぁ。
