Outstanding ”
One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. Loved the pod bed, felt like I had my own little room. Great facilities as well, laundry room and a simple kitchen area on both floors, very clean throughout and staff were really nice.

Great location near Shijo Street! Very clean and staff were helpful in suggesting places for us to eat. Dorm set-up was modern and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

PRICE NOT INCLUDE CITY TAX, but good place”
Price not inclusive of city tax (200Y/person/day). shoes stored at entrance on rack. both floors have microwave, sink, utensils, plates, laundry (1 washer 1 dryer per floor). Medium fridge near reception. Complimentary tea and coffee. staff use washer and dryer during part of day. 3 sinks, 2 showers, one including a small square bath, 2 toilets all on both floors. Showers aren't cramped, capsules very spacious. eating area on upper floor, and smoking area outside. 4 coathanger holders in each capsule and a common rack for storing other clothes. Kitchen between toilets/stairs and capsules - annoying. Nowhere to place toiletries at sink. Ample hangers in shower. Kitchen narrow. Generally did not feel cramped unless multiple people using kitchen. Socialisation natural at eating spaces. Ladders to upper bunks not affixed to anything - relies on friction. Handles exist to help on upper bunks. Staff are european - I heard spanish, french, german and english.

Lots of space in the locker behinder you bed, able to dimm the light for a nicer atmosphere before sleeping, free tea and coffee was good, USB charger, nice little bathtub, one completely and one silver toilet, very creative! Common area was quite small but I think it‘s enough

Great place. The capsules were super comfortable and the showers were clean and functional. It's a small place and the common areas could've been better. Then again, it was so cheap that I was perfectly happy with it as it was.

Perfect for privacy or meeting other travellers”
In the capsule beds you have plenty of space to have your own privacy or meet other travellers in the kitchen area. The common area is not that big and unfortunately they don't have a stove to make your own food, but there are plenty of good restaurants around or a 7/11 and a microwave to use. The volunteers are super nice, but there was a new person behind the reception every day which can be a bit inconvenient.

Very comfortable!”
The sleeping quarters were very comfortable and accommodating. They had international plugs and usb in the wall as well which was very helpful. There was plenty of space for your belongings and the beds and covers were very comfortable. The staff was all on work away and they were very nice and helpful.

After backpacking for a few weeks and staying on mediocre beds, this was such a welcome surprise. The beds are top notch, and our shared capsule was very cool. The staff are only part time as they can stay for free if they work there. But the people we met were nice enough. There is not a lot of space, you’re really on top of each other and there’s no common space aside from a hallway converted to have chairs in it. Also, the only way up to hostel is through a slightly sketchy elevator. Also, there is a charge for everything, towels, ear plugs etc. This review is starting to sound negative but my experience was overall very positive. I would recommend this place. The location is incredible, the beds are great and it was very clean.

pleasantly packed”
Splendid staff, convenient location, real filter coffee amazing bonus to wake up, 3 types of tea, large capsule headboard to lock valuables. minimal WC and common space is quite tight but then all packed together, met some cool people!

Good place to stay”
I stayed in Kyoto for one night only. I arrived to Kyoto late and the hotel was so good that they sent me an email to teach me how to check-in myself. Everything in the hotel is good. Both capsule (inc. bed sheet), shower room, toilet are clean and comfortable. Especially the capsule is spacious enough. If you are a backpacker, you must love it. But the only concern is the hotel is not near to any JR station. But there are Kyoto metro stations and bus stops. Overall, it is a worth-stayed hotel as the cost is excellent.

Didn't like it. Loud in the mornings. Start cleaning the sleeping area at 9.30 am loud with loud vacuum cleaner, talking near beds. No good sleep. The announcement on the door says be quit from 22pm to 8 am. Thats is taken literary, after 8am is loud, people packing, talking, then volunteers come 9.30am to clean, without considerstion towards guests. The kitchen/common area is super small, only microwave. Reception/houskeeping is run by foreigners/travellers volunteers.

Quite far away from Kyoto JR Station. But you can still get to here by bus and metro. This hostel is cheap in price and it's the biggest virtue. And it's tidy and neat. But some guests made the pantry (opened area) not that clean. It's my largest concern. But overall it's a good place to stay, especially the capsule is spacious enough.

Everything was great. Capsule was clean and tidy. Bathroom was well equipped but probably better with a mirror for vanity. Love the unlimited coffee and tea!

Super friendly staff. Location is a bit sbout 3 blocks from Shijo train station, but very near the bus stops. Hotel is located at 6F of the building. The buildings elevator lobby is unlighted at night.. and is a bit weird especially if you are waiting for the elevator to come down.

Good bed close to train station”
The bed was really comfy. The hostel is close to bus and train station. Common space are too small, not enough showers and toilets.

Cheap place for solo traveler”
This place is one of the cheapest place in Kyoto but not the best one. As a hostel, I expected that there should be one public for using computer but only very small space to have a cup of tea...
