I stayed in a 6-person dorm, and it was very noisy. Nobody seemed to care about others resting; there were loud "whispers" in English from time to time. Various noises started as early as 6 am. It felt like I was back in Europe, experiencing the same noise and indifference from fellow travelers.

Very nice facilities. The hostel looks very new. You even have a new towel every day. Got a very nice bathroom for you to enjoy. The location is convenient. Only 1 station away from Kyoto station.

I love this hostel. Very clean. The bedroom was very nice. I booked a room with bunk beds and a bathroom. It made me feel safe and have lots of privacy. They also have self-service breakfast. There is also a machine to buy drinks within the hostel. The only disadvantage is that it is quite far from the subway, but I can accept that.

Basic service facilities are available, self-service dining environment, free breakfast is provided, and the sound insulation of the room is not ideal.

It's clean, there's an elevator, so it's easy to carry luggage, the information staff is friendly, there's a mini stop right outside, and it's diagonally away, and the distance is great!!

I had good memories of the dormitory, so I booked a triple room, and it was really big and the bathroom, toilet, and washbasin space were separated, and the dining table and sink were so comfortable.

I made a reservation without knowing that it was a hostel, so when I first entered the room, I was surprised by the lack of bunk beds, amenities, and the number of foreigners. There are 3 in the room, and the futon was comfortable, so I'm satisfied. The all-you-can-eat breakfast bread included chocolate and strawberry bread, and you could add jam or margarine.

Best of all, it was clean and the breakfast bread was delicious. There was a parking lot next door, which was helpful. The neighbor next door was noisy.

The guy who received me at the beginning was a very nice person. But after two days, other waiters started to show a weird attitude. If you want to check in, you must ask if there are any middle-aged Japanese people sharing the room with you, especially those unreasonable and dirty old people! He criticized me for packing up at 9 o'clock. I dare not say a word when Europeans are jumping around at night. I complained to the front desk about this situation. There were obviously empty rooms, but the front desk directly refused to say no. If you are in the same price range, I don't recommend staying at this hotel. Moreover, the room is next to the toilet and bathroom, which is very damp!!!

There are many foreigners.
It was a bit noisy with music playing in the shared facilities.
Staff did not respond.
The breakfast bread was delicious. There were many flavors!
