    there’s a curfew from 00:00 - 06:00 , you cannot leave or come back between those sleeping hours — if you have any late night plans , you will have to find somewhere else to stay or hang out until morning light

    the Guesthouse is nestled in between multiple konbini stores and places to eat . the walk to the train station is a breeze , even in the summer heat . the staff is on-site 24/7 and you can reach out with any issues you may have . there’s even a nice playground nearby , if you like to loiter on swing sets like me . all the other guests were friendly as well

    The cleanest hotel I've ever seen! So quiet and nice. Blankets are super comfortable, very soft and warm. Want to have the same to home. Be warned that it is impossible to get into hotel after midnight

    very nice, cleane, calm place to stay plus i really liked the location it was a bit out of turist madness but also very easy to get to all places ypu need to. Its close by public train station and next to it is place where you can rent bike which i would recomend its also very close by the river so rent your bike and go to cycle along the river. I would defenetly come back.

    The location is great. It is not in the center, but very close to Kyoto University and train station, as well as restaurants, convience stores and Kamo river. The host is very friendly also. There are lots of books at the shared place on the first floor, and fully equiped kitchen as well.

    The public kitchen is beside some rooms, we have some limits for not disturbing other costumers/voyagers.

    Bed is larger than a normal single bed.

    The restrictions and having to climb up a ladder before I sleep on my bed.

    Its proximity to shops, bus stops and more importantly to the venue of the event I added.

    Walls were pretty thin but reminders are clearly display to remind guests to lower their volume at night. Thus, not much of a problem.

    Facilities and furnitures were all very clean. Saw them cleaning it daily which made my stay very comfortable. As not a lot of guests were around, I was able to make myself comfortable in the common area, utilising the space and quietness for reading or browsing the web.

    All the staff are really nice and attentive, really helpful and accommodating if possible. The place is clean, spacious and quiet at all times, it's located in a great area, near the subway station, busses, and lots of stores and restaurants around. The rooms are comfortable and the bed space is a lot bigger than it looked in the pictures, it was a really nice stay, would have stayed even longer if they hadn't been sold out. They received my luggage from the airport and when I left they helped me to get a taxi with all my suitcases, I completely recommend this hostel, I miss it already! ❤

    this guesthouse is very cosy yet very clean and organized, spacious and welcoming. I really appreciated the living room space with books (i only stayed one night so i did not use the kitchen except for tea, but otherwise it’s a great addition to be able to cook!). they also have a restaurant and it all feels very homey yet seamlessly organized. A bus stop is only a couple minutes away.

    Do not enter or leave between 00:00 and 06:00

    Everything is very clean and very friendly host. Close to the bus station. It shows the Japanese life that you can't see much in the hotel. The price is not high. Warm energy, I liked everything. Japanese culture, order, Japanese food and great respect for each other are amazing
