Hostels in KyotoHostel

This is one of my favourite hostels that I've been to so far! The entire facility was very clean and the pods were spacious and well equipped.

Could not recommend this place enough! It was unbelievably clean, beautiful with natural airflow and stunning wood throughout.

This was such a lovely place to stay at! very clean and the staff was so sweet and helpful. The room was very beautifully decorated and clean (we stayed in the private room cabin).

Great place to stay overall. The hotel is easy to find and on the top floor of a high building which makes for a lovely view!

The hostel is in a very well-located area, close to the station. The rooms are very comfortable, although the breakfast could be improved.

Meticulously clean, super friendly staff, great facilities for a hostel. Breakfast was good with a selection of different breads. Close to public transport.

Excellent accomodations within easy walking distance of Nijo Station. Do keep in mind that the Guest House is closed between noon and 5pm. The host, Tomi, is wonderful and very kind.

Tommy-san was very accommodating and always checked in to make sure everything is alright. Wish I could have stayed a few more nights but I’ll save that for another time.

The place is super close to alot of mainstream attractions. Easily walking or one train stop away from Kyoto main station.
The host is super knowledgeable on the Kyoto attractions and very helpful.

Really great place staff will accommodate your needs and are happy to chat. Rooms are good, showers are very warm cant really complain at all. Tv and computers in lobby aswell!

I absolutely loved loved my stay here. Was super peaceful and I love that you get your own space. Also there's a bath which was a blessing after a lot of travelling.

Shizuya is a beautiful hotel, I loved the cosy atmosphere starting from the lobby.
I also want to recognize the amazing staff who is very professional and nice.

Depending on your choice of rooms it small but comfortable. Some rooms only has a wash basin and you will need to use the shared restroom located on each floor.

A perfect position very close to the sandbar & only 150m from the Bus / Train. Comfortable rooms waterfront. We ate at the restaurant which was very nice.

Felt super homey—like staying at a friend’s old Kyoto house.
Traditional vibes with tatami rooms and sliding doors, very chill.
Common area was cozy, met a few other travelers over tea.

Best place in town.

Stayed Oct 2024. A cute guesthouse with traditional tatami/futon setup. The house is only 2 rooms with a common area and kitchen.

I stayed here almost a week and it felt really homely. There are only two rooms, I had room B. At the entrance of my room there was a fish tank and 2 tanuki statues to greet me when I got back "home".

I’m new to the experience of staying at a traditional Japanese house, and Hostel Ayame was such a beautiful introduction.

Great place, and everyone was so kind and helpful, giving you tips for nice areas to visit. Would highly recommend.

A beautiful spot run by a lovely, generous couple. The food was incredible along with everything else!

Our favorite accomodation in Japan. The couple that runs it is extremely friendly and warm, their food is amazing, the area and their house is beautiful, everything was ideal.

The inn is in the Gion preservation district full of antique shops and small restaurants. The building is a traditional Kyo-machida and the owner, Kazuhiko says it’s been an inn for 50 years.

This is a very traditional Japanese house turn in to inn.
Owner is very nice, as soon we arrive he seat us down and explains all the attraction and ways to get there easily.

Way over my expectations. First time sleeping in shared place but it worked very well. Few tips or good to know:
Locker key can be bought for 300 yen.
Borrow towel 200 yen.

Pleasant stay at the hostel.
Can’t complain much.
The bed was clean, as the kitchen and bathroom.

If you want to try the traditional Japanese style, you should give this place a try. We really recommend this place. We love our stay here. Also don't forget to try their porridge for breakfast.

If you want to experience an old Ryokan, this is the best place for you. Love how it feels homy.

The best value for your money. Close to the metro station and city buses. Walking distance from Gion and Kyoto station.

Very clean, have a laundry coin, dryer coin (there is detergen in the laundry room), microwave, oven, sink, electric hot water jug, eating table area, sofa, etc. Everything you need at home.

Great place for two people. Walkable distance from 2 train stations. Self-check-in process is very easy and well explained. It's like a mini puzzle game.

Perfect for two people. We enjoyed our stay for four nights. The shared washing machine and microwave allowed us to not have to go out for breakfast restaurant.

Fantastic food and drink, only surpassed by the down home atmosphere enjoyed and attended by locals and tourists alike. Truly a hidden gem.

Best food, great cocktails and lovely atmosphere! Loved their hummus and the staff were amazing and helpful.
Would love to visit them again!

Nice little hostel on a traditional japanese house. Staff is super nice and friendly. Close to bus stop, about 20 min from Kyoto Station.

This place is awesome. I met so many friendly and interesting people here and the common room makes it easy to meet new people if solo traveling. The facilities are great abd the beds are comfy.

A good place to stay overnight near Nishiki Market. I appreciate the clean bathroom, although the bedroom is quite small and a bit cramped.

The rooms and the shared spaces (bathroom/washroom) are exceptionally clean. I think also the location is very good.
