K's House Kyoto -Travelers Hostel

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 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.

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¥.

This is a good hostel to meet people, or at least be surrounded by other travelers. It has a giant lounge where everyone likes to hang out or chill, especially lively in the evening. It also has a terrace.

Cheap (for Kyoto) Friendly staff Clean Great common area with big kitchen and lots of space Dorms have personal locker that fits all your stuff
