Cheap Hotels in Kyoto

It was my first time staying in a hostel, and I feel so lucky that I found this one in Kyoto. The location is perfect — super convenient to get anywhere, with lots of great food and shops nearby.

Easily the best hotel/hostel experience I had in Japan — by a wide margin.
From the moment I checked in, the Tsukimi team made me feel completely at home.

It was my first experience in a capsule room in Japan but everything was great. The room is always clean even the shared accommodation.

Really solid capsule hotel. The capsules are quite nice, very comfortable and have everything you need. Locker is a decent size, bigger than some other capsule hotels.

Next time I visit Kyoto, I won't need to research hotels. I'll be staying at Guesthouse Soi, no question.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I almost skipped out to book a hotel since I wanted something nicer than hostels but this is far from a traditional hostel. It feels like HOME.

I paid for a bunk bed but they gave me a full room. It was really nice.
The free bicycles are a very good way of traveling through Kyoto. I recommend this place. The staff were nice.

We stayed in Kyoto for a week and I’m so glad we chose Roku Roku as our base. Every single day it felt like coming back home, the room was quite big and really comfortable!

By far the best Hotel I had in Japan.
100% recommendation.

The stay was nice. Showers were clean and there was free coffee. The traditional beds were oke for a couple of days, but not for a week. I was looking forward to a place with curtains and a good bed.

We stayed for 6 nights and loved it. Very helpful, friendly staff, great location and well equipped kitchen with free coffee you can make in individual drip. Amazing hot water for showers.

After travelling through more than 34 European countries and staying in numerous hostels, this one stands out as by far the best.

This is a hidden gem. The rooms are very comfortable, and being able to have a solo room for this price is a superb value luxury.

My 4-n stay (¥11, 800) at UNKNOWN's dormitory was fantastic. The ambience of the repurposed old house was really nice. The futon was comfortable and the privacy curtains made it easy to sleep well.

A great hostel, beautiful building and the beds were really spacious!

Amazing place and service, very nice women helping you with the sukiyaki, lamb sukiyaki was amazing, very tasty and tender. Chicken curry and the japanese beef steak box were very tasty too.

We got the lamb for 2 lunch special, which comes for miso soup and white for both people. So good! It was a great meal.

I stayed here during my trip in Kyoto, I would definitely come back again! This place is really recommended!

I had a truly wonderful stay! The hospitality of the hosts was exceptional — warm, kind, and always willing to help. They made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived.

Loved the mini store near the entrance!

Beautiful Japanese traditional style accommodation with 7 guest rooms.
The signs and info sheets are beautifully drawn by the owner. Various items can be borrowed for free (ie.

The photos do not mislead! This guesthouse is very special: The owner, Yuki, and her daughter and staff were so kind, generous and patient.

Before coming to Japan, we thought the room here would be very small based on the photos.

Super cute hotel! I loved the designs of everything. I thought the room was going to be dark all day, but there is a huge window that allows lots of natural light in the morning.

Conveniently located just a short 5-7 min walk from Kyoto station (There is a subway connecting the entire stretch — helps in case it rains). The hostel is clean and nice.

Within walkable distance from Kyoto station and is very easy to find. The staffs are friendly and kind.
I stayed in the tatami room and didnt regret anything. Clean, spotless, and comfortable.

The staff here is super duper kind. The whole place breaths the boutique hotel atmosphere. Beds were very good and rooms and furniture seemed new.

Highly recommend! I spent 2 weeks here with my husband — we had the private Japanese room. It was quiet, SUPER clean (they use a Dyson vacuum!

I stayed here for one night and I regret not staying longer.
The style of the place makes you feel the real Japanese experience, the bed is so comfortable. Location is great.

I stayed here almost 11 years ago and I plan on returning this year. I stayed in Japan for 6 weeks and this was my favourite place to stay.

The guesthouse is in a perfect location – quiet, yet very central. It’s exceptionally clean and perfectly equipped.

Absolutely amazing, centrally located and affordable. Li, the owner, goes put of his way to make you feel at home. Lots of toiletries to use and laundry service.

Kahori, the owner, is absolutely 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I stayed here on a long solo trip through Japan, and Chita really felt like home.

Very good and the lady is very nice!

I loved this hostel. The beds have curtains, it's decently close to the subway, and best of all the (free! ) breakfast is amazing. Lots of variety and the miso soup is delicious.

Such an amazing stay at this hostel! the kindness of the staff is unlike anywhere from the warm greetings and goodbyes to the breakfast served daily — it all makes me feel so at ease and at home!

Very near to Kyoto station.
The room is not so small but not very sound proof. You can hear people in other rooms talk.
There's public bathroom with an onsen. I took a bath at 8PM but there was noone.

Located near Kyoto Station, Ryokan Nihonkan is popular for its retro atmosphere and feel comfortable. There are plenty of restaurants in the area, so you can enjoy the nightlife.

A really nice place to stay.
Basic room with a futon mattress on the floor which might not be to everyone's liking but very comfortable and everything I needed.

Friendly and welcoming. Good sized room. Shared areas clean and well equipped. Not on the centre, but well served by public transport and easy to get around to all the main sites.

Interesting experience for a foreigner but well worth it. There are some rules to follow as it's more of an inn than a hotel or abb (and cheaper).

Amazing place, were everything has been great. Close to the station and in a quite street. Our room was cozy and comfortable!

My first time in Kyoto and this Ryokan was perfect — The host was exceptionally helpful and recommended many good places to eat in the area — I would love to stay here again when I come back to Kyoto.

Amazing service 10/10 Very good connection with he rest of the city. Very clean room. Amazing value for the money. We stayed there for 4 days, if I ever return to Kyoto, I am staying there again.

It is a hostel but it isn't. I'll keep it short, great posh vibes.
Liked: ambience, comfortable clean beds. Breakfast is an absolute treat.
Disliked: 1. I was in a room with 3 other people.

A very lovely and wonderful place where you can attend lots of activities and have fun with people all around the world! The staffs are very helpful and friendly towards foreigners.
