Everything. Very social and great reception team and uk team. This place is so clean and the most social hostel I’ve ever seen and stayed at in all of my travels in Japan. I had the best time in this accommodation and enjoyed Kyoto because of my stay here! Thanks, All! They also have great postcards and everything about this place was traveller friendly. Lounge was the nicest area ever in many of the hostels I’ve stayed at around the world.

The house was relatively clean, with the rooms and bathrooms being clean. It was more of an upkeep kept by the people staying there but was still kept relatively clean. The beds were comfy, with plenty of room in the space for people! The showers were clean with a great shower head and had soap, conditioner and shampoo provided. The heater did well at keeping the rooms warm. Got plenty of storage for even big bags, just bring a lock but you can put everything in there. The wifi was great throughout the place, and a big common space and kitchen fully kitted out with utensils for cooking and 3 fridges. It was ¥500 for wash and drying your laundry and you could get change down at the desk if needed, just get in there early or late as you then might have to wait for others. Overall staff were polite and there from 8:00am-9pm for any needs, you can get free adaptors and chargers etc. Overall would recommend for a decent and clean place.

First of all, all the employees there can speak decent English, and all of them are very friendly. I really like how they guide you through the check-in process and everything, and all the facilities provided by the hostel. They even got a dedicated shoe storage space and shoe dryer!!! I stayed in a 6-person mixed dorm, and each bed has 2 type-A plugs. The shower room is so clean and well-equipped. Body soap, hair shampoo, hair conditioner, and hair dryer are provided. Each floor has its own shower room, so everything is so good. On top of that, there is a common area on Level 2, and you can freely use any of the facilities (kitchen, fridge, cooking utensils, washing machine, etc.). Do note that you need to pay for the washing machine, but it's fine. They also provide slippers for all guests. The most caring part of the hostel is that there's Braille at the lift!!! I would 100% recommend this hostel and come back again in the future.

The hostel was very clean & modern. The kitchen was spacious and well designed. The terrace was cool & had a great view. I enjoyed the common area - it was comfortable and guests didn't have to sit on the floor like in other more 'traditional style' hostels in Japan.

The common area was the best I have experienced in a hostel environment. I was very thankful for the bean bags when I arrived and needed a nap. There kitchen is well equipped for all the meals you’d need to make. The rooms are a little tight but excellent use of under the bead for the locker. The bathrooms and toilets were clean and in very good condition. There is very helpful information on planning your trip in Kyoto in the downstairs area. There are umbrellas to borrow and bikes to rent. I took the bike for a short ride along the river. It was very nice.

Location is really good, close to Keihan line Shichijo station what gives you an opportunity to discover Gion, Fushimi Inary Srine, Uji city and other locations.The hostel is a 15-minute walk from Kyoto Station, and there are also bus stops nearby, which are very convenient for getting around the city. Towels are not provided, but you can rent them. There is a hairdryer and 3 showers on the floor (at this time of year, this was enough, I don't know how the situation is in high season). There is shampoo, shower gel, hair conditioner, and hand soap in the common area. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook something. There are refrigerators, drinking water, etc. You can store your luggage before check-in and after check-out. The staff is great and always helpful if you have any questions. You can also use umbrellas for free and borrow chargers if you need them. The place itself is pretty quiet.

The location is really great, and the hostel in itself is good. We had a private room, which makes such a big difference. We didn't use the kitchen but the shared bathroom was always clean and it's comfortable. We were located in the second building next to the main one. Our building was calm, and guests were respectful of it. They provide slippers to walk inside and lockers for the room. Towels are not included but you can rent one for 100¥.

- Facilities are clean and everything is really organized and straightforward. - Staff is nice, and they all seem to speak English well - Location is pretty convenient -- about 10 minutes to Kyoto Station and 5 minutes to another train station that easily gets you to a lot of touristy destinations (Gion, Arashiyama, etc.)
