Nice quiet and clean place, the owner lady was very helpful, just one downside is no lockers in the room, otherwise very nice place for travellers.

This is a unique hostel with its Japanese charm.
Place is in excellent location—- about 15- minutes walk to Kyoto station, a couple minutes to a subway station & to bus stops. I was able reach popular destinations easily with public transportation. Convenient store & McDonald’s are just a couple minutes walk as well. Though, good to venture local restaurants. As a solo female traveler, I definitely felt safe. Very close to a scenic river.
I had a double room with a bunk bed. However, I happened to not have a roommate & had the room all to myself! It has a window. Charming bed, with Japanese mattress & pillow. There’s a rooftop terrace. Laundry is inexpensive—only 100 yen for both wash & dry. Tea bags of different variety are available & complimentary. I specifically like the one of brown rice.
I got to meet & talk with other people from other countries while at the lobby. It was fun! Mr. Ace is a wonderful host. He speaks excellent English, very accommodating, down-to-earth, helpful of suggestions of places to see in Kyoto. Provided assistance with my huge luggage in check-in & check-out process. I need to travel lightly next time.
I highly recommend this charming hostel. Will definitely come back!

교통
교토는 버스와 지하철이 잘 되어 있어서 지하철역과, 버스정류장이 가까이 있어서 좋았습니다.
기요미즈테라가 가장 유명한데 숙소에서 걸어가기에는 멀었습니다.

Auberge simple et confortable
C’est très simple, c’est le principe de l’auberge avec douche et wc à partager.
Le futon sur tatami est confortable, on dort bien. Et c’est très propre.
Donc une bonne note, en lien avec le genre d’établissement.
