I stayed one night in a dormitory and it was a really nice place. It was stylish, clean and had a comfortable time! The staff were also kind and made me feel comfortable.I also had breakfast, and the sandwiches were filling and satisfying. It's also close to the movie village, so it's recommended for people who are going there!

I absolutely love this hostel, its chic and elegant and caters to feminine tastes. The amenities are clean, also the staff are accomodating and friendly. The best part about this hostel is the shared space because not many hostels have an option to cook, but this one does. Although it is a hostel, you still have a sense of privacy, which I really like. Looking forward to coming back here for winter. ❤️❤️❤️

This was my second stay here. It was a dormitory, but it was a very clean and comfortable space. As everyone has written, it has a very charming design with women in mind. …

It's a female-only dormitory style room, so it's much more affordable than a hotel, and I can just sleep there and use it for work.I think this inn is suitable for women's trips who want to stay at a trendy guest house at a low price, but don't want to stay in a noisy place with boys around.The interior is so stylish! There are a lot of showers and toilets, which is really cool and looks great💓, but the lighting on the toilet floor was so cool that it was too bright in the middle of the night (^_^;)There is a kitchen and you can make coffee and tea for free, which is very convenient.The reception is on the second floor, so I thought it would be a pain to carry heavy suitcases, but since I am disabled with one hand, I played ping pong on the first floor, and a staff member came out from above and handed me my luggage. He gave it to me❗I think it's super convenient for going to Arashiyama.Recommended for fashionable girls❗

I stayed in a private room with my son who is an elementary school student. ||The room was like a 1DK apartment, but it was clean and comfortable. ||It was great to have a microwave in the room. …

Great hostel near Hanazono station. The hostel is clean, tidy, and has a very pleasant, calm atmosphere. After walking, you can relax and sleep peacefully. The kitchen has everything you need. You can both reheat and cook food. Very cozy. All necessary hygiene products are also provided. I definitely recommend it.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Beautiful facilities and the staff are very warm and welcoming! Train station is only a minute away, and train ride to Kyoto station only takes 10 minutes. Will definitely be staying here next time I'm back in Kyoto. I felt very safe here and didn't have to worry about anything. Thank you to the fabulous staff!
