Very convenient location nearby Kyoto Station as well as a subway line. Environment is very clean, but the mattress is a bit too thin, making it slightly uncomfortable to sleep on

Lovely little hostel right in the centre of Kyoto. The rooms are small, but comfortable and clean. Toiletries are provided, and the location is a perfect base for sightseeing. The staff is super sweet. It was a pleasure to stay here.

蛇口をひねると全て地下水、塩素との入っていないお水、冷蔵庫にいつも冷えてて美味しい。 お部屋はとても狭くて隠れ家な感じだけど寝に帰るだけなので全然気にならない、なんだか凄く良いニオイがします。

京都駅から地図アプリで迷わず行けたし、 スタッフの対応もにこやかで丁寧に説明してくれます。 館内のお水はこだわってるとの事で、シャンプー後の髪がサラサラになり驚きました。 ドミトリーのお部屋には鍵がついてますが、利用者が鍵をかけなけれ誰でも入室出来てしまうのは防犯面で気になりました。

はじめに、
京都駅から近くで歩いて5分位です。清潔で気持ち良かったです。小さいゲストハウスで、家庭的です。欲を言えば、もう少しフランクに接して欲しかった。

來去京都住一晚
這次京都行選擇這家住宿,離京都車站步行約10分鐘,也算是方便到~ 背包客棧環境不錯,很喜歡。員工服務態度很好,英文溝通也可以。 不過住宿地點比較隱藏,一不小心可能就會錯過。早上8點還有簡易吐司可以自行取用。

京都らしく小さな坪庭が入り口にあって、雰囲気が良かったです。京都駅から歩ける範囲ですが最初に日に見つけるのが難しかった。部屋は狭いが十分なスペースがあり、お風呂も家庭用お風呂のちょっと大きめに過ぎないのですが、一人でゆったり入れました。誰かが入ってる時は当然ですが入れません。一人用ですから・・・
入り口の小さい坪庭!
