Good location & fantastic amenities”

My husband and I stayed at K's for 4 nights in Kyoto. We were really impressed with how bright and spacious the hostel was; it really feels like a cutting edge, modern hostel that is perfect for budget travelers who want a place where they will be comfortable. The hostel had lots of information about things to see & do as well as places to eat in Kyoto. Although we did not take advantage of the cafe/bar, the prices on drinks were incredibly reasonable, especially in Japan where alcohol is very expensive. We also appreciated that the hostel provides many things like chargers, guidebooks, and umbrellas for free, and many other travel items can be purchased for nominal prices. The dorm we stayed in was spotlessly clean, as was the bathroom. The bunks were sturdy, and the cubbies under each bed that were lockable had more than enough space to store all of our travel gear. The rooms were bright and airy, and we really appreciated that we could use the wifi from the comfort of our own bedroom without having to always trek to the common area. Only downside is that although K's is only a 10 minute walk from Kyoto station, the area it is in did not seem to be great for restaurants or nightlife. It's quite a walk to the Gion district and other more lively areas, and we frequently just went back to the train station area when we were looking for food. Not a dealbreaker, but there are definitely more vibrant parts of town to be in! The location is really convenient for those using Kyoto as a base for other day trips.

Very convenient, value for money!”

I get to know about K's Guest House while traveling in Japan, first I stayed in K's house Mt Fuji which I found a great value for money, so I decided to try K's Guest House Kyoto. The staff was very nice, helpful and friendly, always giving advice about the best transportation options, they also help booking my seat for the airport limousine. The hostel is strategically located near to ATM, restaurants, bus stops, and Kyoto Station, walking distance to many areas of interest. I really like the concept and ambiance o K's house. Thanks!

safe location, clean bathroom, knowledgeable staff”

This hostel can easily be negotiated on foot from Kyoto Station. Just go out from the Central exit of JR Kyoto Station, cross the street towards Kyoto Tower and walk along Karasuma-dori (the street on the east-side road of Kyoto Tower, near Starbucks). Turn right at the intersection of Shichijo-dori and Karasuma-dori and walk for about 5 minutes until you reach Kawaramachi-dori. Cross a signal and then turn left on the first street along Kawaramachi-dori. You will find K’s House (white building) and Zen Café on the road to your right. This hostel is very easy to like for many reasons: knowledgeable and helpful staff, clean shared bathrooms, spacious common areas (living room, rooftop terrace and kitchen), comfortable dorm beds and free wifi. It was raining a lot when I was in Kyoto, and the hostel provides free umbrellas that you can borrow for the day. The Zen café beside it is a nice place to get drinks and meet people but is a bit dear. The hostel also arranges tours and sells bus passes. The hostel made me feel very secure. Their luggage storage room has a lock and can only be opened by a staff member. Will definitely stay here again.

Kyoto is very beautiful city”

I was so surprised the room and bathroom is so clean. The tourist from all of the world can use the kitchen to cook, chat with people easily, sourcing information. I recommend Backpackers Hostel K's House Kyoto is a very comfortable place.

Great place to stay”

This place is very cozy for backpackers. Its facilities like public spaces, kitchen, laundry, rooms, bathrooms are very clean and nice. Although its location a bit far from Kyoto Station (by walking), i still highly recommend this hostel to everyone who visits Kyoto. K's is a kind of a very professional hostel, well-managed, well-service. 10 tumbs up (i borrow my friend's tumbs by the way :) )

Best Choice in Kyoto”

If you're looking to save money and have somewhere safe to stay I highly recommend K's House. I have stayed here before and always come back. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. One thing I really enjoy is they have a very big functional bath tub. I prefer to take baths versus showering so this was very nice. The staff is super friendly, available to help you if you have any questions. I had to ship a box of stuff to my next hotel and the staff did everything they could to help me with that. I am truly grateful for their service. I also got really lucky by staying on a not so busy day and there was only one other person in my dorm room. Also please check out the roof top for a beautiful view of Kyoto!

Comfortable guesthouse!”

K's House is very clean and well-equipped with many facilities. The staff was very helpful when I sought for assistance with planning my itinerary for Kyoto. There are computers free for use as well. It is a bit of walk from Kyoto Station to K's House but nearer to Shichijo Keihan Station. Overall, it was a great stay at K's House!

Very nice Hostel. Highly recommended for single traveler”

Very good Hostel, and classical backpacker hostel. Highly recommended for single traveler. The Staff are so nice, they are willing to speak in English. I have a place wanna good, which is not in Kyoto but near Kyoto, the staffs are really helpful for helping me searching the transportation. The hostel has a very big common area, you can enjoy doing nothing, but staying there. The staff would also organize some activities with different parties. Backpackers can join their activities, and easy to meet others from other countries. They have a cafe and bar next to the hostel. It is very easy to find a breakfast or brunch, gather and meet new friend in the bar at night as well.

The cleanest Hostel, ever!”

We had a great time at K's Hostel. This has to be the cleanest place you would ever see. They have very friendly and helpful staff (well versed in English, which was a big PLUS). I would recommend it to anyone staying in Kyoto. We had a private bunk bed room, so not sure about the dorms. The only thing I would add is the quality of breakfast next door in the cafe was very average. It was not worth the money. This is not a party hostel and didn't find other travels interested in making friends. I guess there are a few students who live here on a long term basis. All in all, a great place to stay for a few nights in Kyoto.

Nice Hotel, Great hotel staff”

I am Thai traveling alone.As I reached to the hostel,I have met with a very warm welcome and a great smile from staff. they assit me to kept my baggages in the storage room and help me when I come back with full service minded. For the room, if you want the room as the busines hotel they cannot provided. On the other hand,the things they have provided are well cleaning rooms ,well working air-condition, security system, fast WI-FI and internet connection,good living area and best cleaning toilet and shower room. The hostel staffs are very helpful ( especially the one name Shan ) I am very impressive to stay with.The hotel itself is easy to travel around kyoto. It located near Kyoto JR Station ( Walk as 15 min ) and many sightseeing area such as Sanjusangendo Temple and Kyoto Tower, also the hostel it near many supermarket. Totally, What I have to say is " What a lovely hostel is?". Actually, I have to Say thank you that the hostel had given me a good time.

Always a great stay at K's house.”

I previously stayed at K' House in Tokyo. This time I stayed at kyoto. Its always a lovely stay at K's House. Staff are very fluent in english and they would go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. Next time I will find K's House again.

Great Stay!”

Fuss free stay at K's house. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Hostel was located about 5-10 mins walk from Kyoto JR Station. Lots of eateries around the hostel, great place to stay!

Good hostel in Kyoto”

I love everything about K's House Kyoto. The only thing is that it's a 10-min walk to the Kyoto station (which I didn't mind at all). Other than that, I highly recommend that you stay here when you visit Kyoto.

Everything were perfect”

we have a nice holiday to stay at K's house Kyoto, will come back in the near future... will never forget that we have a sweet memory at your hostel...miss you

Good value for money”

Really had a nice and relaxing stay at K's House Kyoto! In my previous travels I haven't considered checking in at a backpackers hostel since I envisioned it as untidy and crowded. However, after staying in K's House for 3 nights, I found out that it's unlike what I thought it is. The room was tidy and there was a locker to keep all your stuff. Even the bathroom and shower rooms were good too. :)

Terrific hostel!”

K's hostels are great places to stay! I stayed at a K's in Hiroshima and had sucha great experience that when I heard there was another in Kyoto I knew that's where I would be staying! This one is a little hard to find but it has a great location near the main train station and neat temples. I HIGHLY recommend this hostel to anyone!

i like k's house so much. ”

first staffs are really kind. i am not good at Japanese but didnt have difficulty. they are good at English. and the twin room i stayed is really clean and comfortable. If i go to Kyoto again, i will stay k's house again!!!

great!”

K's Backpacker hostels are some of the better ones I've been in. They're small, but cozy, and you meet some interesting people in the common areas. This one is great because they also offer breakfast for 500 yen, and they have a bar to partake in after a long day of touristing.

Central location and clean facility”

The hostel was only about 10 minutes from Kyoto Station by foot. This was really convenient to catch trains and not have to pay extra money to transfer stations. There are also bus stops all around; you can purchase a Kyoto bus day pass and get to many of the shrines quite easily. Having been to hostels in Europe, I expected the toilet and shower facilities to be quite gross and, thus, was hesitant to share with other occupants on the floor. However, they were cleaner than most bathrooms I've seen even in private hotels. Everyone chips in to keep it clean as well, so you get a great sense of community. You're not allowed to wear your shoes inside the hostel. They provide indoor slippers and little lockers to store your shoes. That gave me peace of mind that the carpet in our room was indeed clean. The staff speak English and are there most of the day (not sure about late night). They will store your luggage immediately before and after your stay for free. That helped us a lot.

Awesome Hostel, must go”

the whole hostel is like grand new. the room and facilities are new and clean. i felt pretty relax sitting in hobby where i met other backpackers from different country.and i had great time chatting with them.the staffs were polite and helpful and speak fluent in english because we asked about restaurants and attraction many time. more, i rented a bike to explore different areas in kyoto. it was great and unforgotten experience to me.i will go to this hostel again in the future.
