Room for 4 people just enough for 2-3person
Room for 4 person but too small for 4 person. No place to put luggage. Share bathroom. Other was acceptable. Please check the policy before book. Rules are rules and there is no flexibility.
The best part is the weather is cold in Japan, but the nights in Kyoto are boring. If you want to enjoy the nightlife, not recommended to stay in Kyoto.
Clean and tidy place even with the shared spaces! The beds are comfy & the staff were so nice and welcoming. We’re so happy we stayed here and would definitely come back again!

Rekommenderas inte!
Vid check-in var ytterdörren låst och vi fick vänta en timme. Till slut bankade vi hårt på dörren och då vaknade någon innanför och släppte in oss. Ofräscht med massor av hårstrån i sängen och trasig toalettdörr.
Absolut inte värt pengarna.
Muy bien ubicado, renta bicicletas que es el mejor transporte en kyoto. Staff super amable y atento, instalaciones impecables y cuartos amplios. Para el estandar de Japón.
