2-Star Hotels in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

My stay here was fine! 15min bus ride from Kyoto station was very handy. And it’s right around the corner from Kiyamizu-dera temple; a popular tourist spot, and a great place to hit if you haven’t already got it on your itinerary. The only real issue - which is colouring my review right now - is that I got pretty awful sleep here. Top bunks don’t have a ‘roof’ covering the bed, so light and noise is more disruptive than usual. Basic facilities, nice common areas on the first two floors for those feeling social, and has a laundry and dryer (which was great for me needing to do two weeks of travel laundry, LOL). In any case, would recommend! Just be aware of your sleep.

The capsule shop's location is incredibly convenient. It's located in one of the busiest areas outside, yet the shop itself is incredibly quiet. The service was professional and friendly, and the restrooms, capsules, and everything else were clean. The only downside was that the area where you could chat freely was incredibly small. The rooftop area was either too hot or unusable due to rain.

Very chill and comfortable stay, WiFi can be a little slow at times and you have to pay for your towels etc, other than that the staffs are all super friendly, speaks good English too.

It was beautiful. Amenities are systems that bring the necessary amount from the receptionist. There was a refrigerator, deodorant and pot in the room. It's quiet because it faces a narrow road. 5 minutes walk from Omiya station ～ 10 minutes. There are shops around Omiya station, such as MacDonald, Matsuya, the king of gyoza, gast, CoCo, etc., so it is not troublesome for restaurants. It is convenient because seven eleven and FamilyMart are around Omiya station. There was a supermarket called Fresco.

FUGA STAY, true to the meaning of its name “fuga” (elegance and serenity), is a refined and peaceful hideaway tucked within the heart of Kyoto. I personally love hotels that are hidden away from the main road yet still extremely convenient—just a 3 to 5-minute walk from Omiya Subway Station and numerous Kyoto city bus stops. If you’re into cycling or using e-scooters, there’s a Luup rental station right in front of the hotel. The room is spacious and very comfortable for a solo traveler. It comes with two double beds that you can easily move together to form a super king-size bed. The bathroom is also large, with no sense of tightness. The front desk staff speaks Japanese and Chinese, so communication is smooth and easy. Honestly, I’m hesitant to praise FUGA too much—if too many people discover it, the price might go up! P.S. Just around the corner is Tendō Shrine, only a 2-minute walk away. It felt like a beautiful encounter by fate. FUGA STAYは、その名の通り「風雅」で、賑やかな場所の中にありながらも静かで、控えめで上品な空間です。 大通りに面していないホテルが好きな私にとって、ここは理想的な立地です。徒歩3〜5分で大宮駅や京都市内の多数のバス停にアクセスできます。 自転車や電動キックボードが好きな方には、目の前にLuupのステーションがあってとても便利です。 部屋は広く、一人で泊まってもとても快適です。ダブルベッドが2台あり、自分で簡単に動かして、特大キングサイズベッドのように使うことができます。トイレも広々としていて、窮屈さは感じません。 フロントでは日本語と中国語（漢語）が通じるので、安心して滞在できます。 正直、あまり褒めすぎたくないです…人気が出て値上がりしそうで（笑） P.S. すぐ近くの路地に「天道神社」があり、徒歩2分ほどです。素敵なご縁を感じました。 FUGA STAY，如同其名字「風雅」一般，是一處鬧中取靜、低調而優雅的住宿空間。 我特別喜歡這種不在主幹道上、卻又交通便利的飯店——步行3到5分鐘即可抵達地鐵大宮站與眾多京都市巴士站點。 如果你喜歡騎單車或滑板車，門口就有Luup的租借點，非常方便。 房間空間寬敞，一個人住起來非常舒適，因為配置了兩張雙人床（可以輕鬆地自行移動，變成超級大king size）；廁所空間也很大，毫無壓迫感。 前台服務人員通曉日語與漢語，溝通無障礙。 說真的，我不太想過度讚美FUGA，因為怕太多人知道之後價格會上漲（笑） P.S. 小巷轉角就有一間「天道神社」，走路約2分鐘，非常有緣。

The location is great—you can walk to the Gion in 20-30 minutes, and the train station is easily accessible the other way. The host and his mother are wonderful, very helpful and friendly. There's a kitchen where you can make tea, coffee, or even cook anything—the tea and coffee are delicious. The house is clean, and it's pleasant and peaceful. Carrying a suitcase up the stairs can be a bit of a hassle, but these are minor inconveniences compared to the service, peace, and comfort provided in this house.

The hotel is new with great facilities! It's about a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station Hachijo Exit (Kyoto Station has two exits: Central and Hachijo). The location is excellent, quiet yet central! The room is spacious at 16 square meters, easily accommodating two large suitcases, and there's even a table with two chairs inside so you can eat in the room, which is fantastic! It's also very convenient for those joining day trips around Kyoto, as the tour bus meeting point is right opposite the Hachijo Exit.

To be set early, there are very few hotels near Kyoto, clean, beds are good, convenient around, eating and drinking, there are public bathrooms, the whole hotel is several floors, the price is OK, but when there are many people, you can't book a room. It is recommended to book it at once.

This hostel's rooms are located on the first floor, making them ideal for those traveling with large luggage. The rooms are spacious and have their own private toilet, though bathrooms are shared with other guests. Delicious porridge is provided each morning, adding a warm touch. A washing machine is also available (600 yen) for extended stays. Located within a local wet market, the hostel offers a quiet and authentic local atmosphere, offering an ideal combination of convenience and comfort.

The soundproofing is poor. While the hotel's rules state quiet at night, I was still seeing people washing up in the hallway at one or two in the morning during my stay. The multi-person rooms on the first floor seem to have better soundproofing, so consider booking for a larger group. However, for the price, it's a great place to stay during your trip, and the mattress and quilt are quite comfortable. The nearby Hakusanyu bathhouse is clean and very comfortable. There are vending machines right outside the hotel, and a convenience store is a five-minute walk away.
