Shiki Shiki Higashiyama is a convenient and enjoyable hostel with a nice little local shopping alley and subway station close by. Only major down side was the shared bathroom as the shower base is damaged and might end up hurting someone some day.

We loved staying here for our one night trip in Kyoto. The room itself is clean and its Japanese style room. Shared bathrooms and showers. It doesn’t have elevator so I wouldn’t recommend to stay here if you have heavy luggages and staying for longer duration.

The good is the location. The bad is staying and n confined space. The bedding is very thin and not recommended for people with back or mobility issues. Charge extra for towels. Stayed at other japanese accommodation and much more comfortable. Was very difficult to get hold of staff as the unit was hot and air conditioning was not working. Seems overcharging for the accommodation offered. Not sure why expedia rated as wonderful.

There was a bunk bed (tatami style) and a wonderful experience. There was also a train and bus station near by, a 3 min walk away from the hotel. There was a traditional shop selling fried potato and chicken just around the corner, an easy stop for a quick breakfast. Just at the junction, there was also a western food shop and fruit stall. I highly recommend this place to stay if you prefer a quieter environment. Our room is very clean but our room was required to share toilets. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we realised how it wasn't a problem at all. In fact, my girl found it very fun and interesting. Once again, highly recommended

Nice hostel

The add showed a private bathroom there was a private shower but a shared bathroom, we were able to leave our luggage inside before our check in, but we were not able to talk to anybody after that, only through the hotels app and it was difficult, the place is very neat, modern and nice, but a more communicative service would help the overall experience

We booked the twin room and it turns out the ad was misleading. There are no photos of the room in entirety because in reality it was extremely small, probably about 30 sq feet, and definitely not enough space for luggage. There is no elevator, only a steep narrow stairwell to the 3rd floor. They don’t answer multiple of their phone lines or messages on Expedia - when we finally got a hold of someone, he said it was because they are a chain so the phone goes to a different location and they are busy doing something else. The slippers they gave us were ripped apart at the side edge like 4cm- I could not wear them safely on the stairs. Towels are 200 yen each. I would not recommend this place and will avoid it again. My 2 night stay in august cost 125 USD for 2 people. This is really just an expensive but themed hostel.

Clean, but very small and uncomfortable futons.

Room did the job of providing a clean bathroom and a roof. The futons were very thin on slabs of wood - NOT COMFORTABLE at all. The room was super expensive for what it was. We had 3 people in a room the size of a walk-in closet. No chairs, hardly any floorspace. There was never a person at the desk that you could talk to and ask questions. I even called the number they had at the desk and no one answered. We were instructed to leave our money for the room in the room when we left which made me very uncomfortable. I felt safer doing that since I booked through hotels.com.

新しく、清潔感のある外装・内装で気持ちよく利用できました。シャワー・トイレは共用の「銀」の部屋でしたが、とても使いやすく、不便さはありませんでした。むしろ部屋に湿気やにおいががこもらなくて快適なのでは？と過去の口コミを読んで感じました。1点だけ不満・不安だったのは、施設入り口と各部屋に入るためのパスコードの伝え方です。ここに詳しく書くことは控えますが、一度泊まったことのある人は簡単に盗み取ることができ、悪意を持って施設や各部屋に侵入することも簡単です。私もやろうと思えば確実にできると思います。過去の口コミでも指摘されていましたし、盗難・侵入などのリスクをゼロにするため、改善を強く希望します。（「宿泊予約日直前のメールに返信のなかった人にだけ、上記のパスコード受け渡しをする」と宿からのメールに書かれており、私自身は返信だけでなく、さらに電話もしましたが、リスクのある受け渡しが当日行われたので驚きましたし、万が一のことがあるかもと100%くつろぐことができました。この点が改善されれば、京都にいくたびにリピートしたい宿です。快適に過ごさせていただき、本当にありがとうございました。
