It is the most conviniently placed hostel so close to shopping and other facilities, can be very social during beer hour but quiet in the rooms in your looking for solitude. The staff were super helpful and helped me deliver my luggage to the next hotel as well. 10/10 stay. Would stay again :)

Perfect for solo travelers coming to Kyoto. Great location, great accommodation. Occasional noise from folks getting in late, but that’s to be expected. Easy access, clean showers, nice coworking space in the lobby.
