What guests are saying:
very nice but not too clean and small
Everything was marvellous - except the wifi in the evenings when everyone was trying to connect. It kept kicking you off. Otherwise, very clean, lots of hot water as needed, lovely kitchen, great common room, a nd comfortable beds.
Good hostel, worth the money. Clean. Few electrical outlet. Nice staff.
location wise easy access to main attraction.
comfortable room and satisfied with all facilities.Will definitely recommend this place to anyone.
everything is good but the room is extremely small.
I don't never forget this memory. if you want to trip kyoto, i Recommendation this guest House!! This guest House is very nice i'm promiss
Staff friendly and the place is very cozy
The staff are super helpful. There are events every day, for example rakugo in English, or hints to what is happening in the city (e.g. geisha dancing). The location is great for getting to main sites.
Location, cleanliness and travel informations above expectations!
Good location. Very basic but all you need. Bring your own towel or you'll have to rent one.

Quadruple Room with Shared Bathroom

Good place ”
Kyoto was pretty booked so I found space at Khaosan Kyoto Hostel. Very nice folks. Very minimal digs and at age 65 was probably the oldest person by several decades. Had private room w/ Shared bath/shower, etc. Very basic housing ... and probably can save mucho cash by booking directly vs. Agoda that marks up prices by about 100%. Nice staff ... met some good folks there. Excellent location in terms to access to trains, buses, etc but absolutely best way to see kyoto is by bike. rent a bike and everything is within an hour ride. lots of close and good resturants. I thought that the local scene was more designer and high fashion vs. more local kyoto neighborhoods (that I eventually moved to). but all good.

Location is great, just a walking distance to few main attractions.. easy to find, and family mart are just a few steps away. Staffs was friendly and can speak English. Clean, cozy and comfortable but room are rather small for me. Overall I have a pleasant stay here, and definitely deserved recommendation.

Very budget accomodation. ”
This guesthouse has everything you need. Great location. But if you expect more than the basic, you need to look elsewhere. Here, you need to make your own bed. Room is very narrow. The wall is paper thin. Even twin room comes with bunk bed. I had to climb up and down the bed everyday. One of the staff was kinda rude.

Pros :
1. Great location. Very near to train station, bus stops & shopping district. Has a family mart beside open 24hrs.
2. Clean sheets, well kept bathrooms + toilets and able to use at other floors if needed.
3. Has a large lounge with TV + kitchen + tables. Great to hang out for meal / discussion etc.
4. Great staff at reception. Sidonie attended to us and offered a smooth check in + helped us to plan our sightseeing trip in Kyoto. Deeply appreciate it.
5. Computers to use at lobby, free welcome drink (iced tea), umbrellas for borrowing, rooftop with simple chairs to hang out.
Cons :
1. Room had mild carpet smell (little disturbing in the beginning, but was able to adapt).
Overall was a great backpacker place with good value for money. Would definitely recommend to others.

problem in age of property as well as quality of guests it attracts”
Toilet bidet in one restroom not working, while rest isn't working like they should, creaking uneven floors on the upper levels, 2 washing machines to serve entire hostel. Guests not washing and drying kitchenware as requested, eating in bed and talking past 10pm curfew. All in, lousy fellow guests. Maybe it's because the Chitose sister hostel is far superior in newness of facilities and quality of fellow guests that I'd not recommend this outlet.
