Bad Attitude from the male staff, unpolite manner and bad communication!!! Very unacceptable!! 😡🤬”
The worst ever experience from my 1st time travel to Japan and 1st time as Solo Traveller!! The male staff very unpolite and communicate badly, he should learn how to be more polite and nicer when communicate with foreigner, give good guidance to foreigner that can not speak Japanese (because his English is very bad, unclear pronounciation). Not recommended to anyone if the staff still shown that kind of bad attitude.

Best capsule hostel! ”
Went to 4 different capsule hostels on my trip in Japan and i think this hostel is the best so far. The staffs are very friendly, the building are nicely designed, it has a very relaxing and calm atmosphere. Lounge area are especially great, it has books about kyoto, guitar, tv and many other things. One of the downside would be a lack of locker to store a bigger valuable item like laptops. Capsule bed are comfy and clean. Locations are very good! Only 15 mins walk to the nearest subway station and the place is close to the beautiful river. Definitely worth the money!

Perfect getaway! Clean, walking distance to JR Kyoto, Close to fushimi inari and Gion”
Very clean hostel, very nice design. It is located a little off center (which is brilliant for resting), but you can easily walk to JR station (10-15min) and the next subway station (<5min) from which you’re quickly at fushimi inari or Arashiyama. Higashiyama and Gion are in walking distance. Staff is competent and nice, the facilities have everything you need: amenities, enough toilets and showers and a common area with WiFi and a tv. I’d gladly come again to this great retreat!

Beautiful and very comfortable hostel! ”
The hostel looks brand new and is well designed. Everything is very clean, beds are very comfortable and there is a nice bar to relax. We have a very relaxed and pleasant stay here. Maybe not the cheapest hostel but definitely worth the money!

I am very happy to talk to the service staff, especially when checking in, it is very technical and easy. The space is very comfortable and safe. It is delicious to have a food in the direction of Kyoto Station.

Such wholesomeness”
The passage coming into the reception had a small museum for some reason which I find rather quaint and amusing, but got my attention. The bedroom itself quite calming with its low lit light and their staff were great with communicating. Their breakfast set is quite cheap and delicious, of which I would highly recommend given that the location of the hotel is a bit of a walk from the famous attraction (I didn't mind the walk one bit and rather enjoyed it). Every corner I walk has its own lil surprise like Japanese antiquities and/or small shrine. Nice stay indeed.

beautiful hostel not close to subway.”
10 mins away from station, but quite place. building is really beautiful, full of art. shower room is too wet, need the bathmat, washstand was too crowd and everyone not really keep it clean. hostel prepare all of amenity so easy for the traveler but they need to control how to keep enough towels for guest.

One of the best hostels in Japan”
Loved everything about this place. The decor is really cool and they have a really nice smoking area which faces a small but beautiful zen garden. And the Host, Ono, is very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back!

Awesome ❤️”
Besides of the inconvenience to the nearest train stations (it’s located in between of two train stations, both with 10-15minutes walk) , the impeccable staying experience was just wonderful!

ありがとうございました、最高でした!”
コロナ騒ぎの中、訳あって京都に1泊することに。宿泊者は少ないだろうと予測して、気になったホステルを前日に予約。チェックイン時に宿泊者の人数をスタッフさんに聞いてみたところ、コロナ騒ぎで帰国できなくなった外国人も併せて5名。スタッフさんから丁寧に内部の説明を受ける。ダイニング、トイレ、シャワー、洗面場所がカプセルから離れている(フロアが違う)ので快適そうだ。しかも宿泊者が少ないとくれば間違いない。まずはPC持ってダイニングへ。Wifi、電源あるので、仕事もちゃんとできる。晩御飯は40年振りぐらいだろうか、餃子の王将7条烏丸店へ。黒を基調にした洒落た内装になっていてびっくり。スタッフのオーダーの言い方は昔のままでホッとする。学生の頃何度も来たなーと昔に思いを馳せる。京都駅は地下街も含めて百貨店、土産物屋、レストランがすべて休業。人もパラパラ、観光客らしき人もほぼ目にしない。こりゃ大変だ、と思いながら途中で缶チューハイ買って帰る。シャワーを浴びて再びダイニングへ、缶チューハイ飲みながら仕事の続きに取り掛かる。同じダイニングでスタッフさんが何やら作っている。マスクを作っているそうな。お若い方だったが外国人ともフレンドリーに接しており、なかなか良い雰囲気の女性でホステルの好感度もグッとアップ。 お世話になりました。
