It is a small hotel, and although at first we were suspicious because it was a Hostel, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. First of all, it is located in a privileged place to visit Kyoto. …

Very friendly service in a great location. My favorite part of the experience was feeling in the real Japan, with Tatami floor mats and so forth. With that excellent price I might be back, also because who doesn't love Kyoto!

I was worried about accommodations while traveling in Kyoto with my parents, but I was skeptical when they told me it was run by a Korean, so I booked it with no confidence but ended up staying very comfortably. There is a supermarket nearby and the accommodation has simple cooking utensils, so I bought beef and grilled it. My parents were really satisfied that they could grill meat at the accommodation while traveling abroad, and I was also really satisfied with this place. ^^

The hostel is very typical Japanese. The rooms are small and cozy. It has air conditioning, wifi and no beds, just futtons. The most interesting thing is the location, as it is close to Kiyomizudera, one of our most beautiful temples in the city. The price is also worth it, because in a city where everything is expensive, savings are worth their weight in gold. I would recommend it, mainly, to those who want to save money and don't care about luxury. It also has a small kitchen to make snacks, for a hostel, it was perfect for me. I loved the location and the precp and despite being small it was super practical, as it was a small flat.
