As a solo traveler, I highly recommend this hostel for its exceptional quality and value. I stayed in a private room for just one night, but the experience was memorable. The location is convenient, with easy access to transportation and nearby attractions, although it’s not the most centrally located spot in Kyoto. What truly stood out was the service—staff members were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and eager to help with any needs or questions. The amenities were also top-notch, including clean and comfortable facilities, well-maintained common areas, and thoughtful extras that made my stay even more enjoyable. If I ever return to Kyoto, I wouldn’t hesitate to choose this hostel again. It’s a perfect option for solo travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and excellent service.

Compared to other Japanese Hostels pretty basic. Good for the price though, given that it's not easy to find something affordable in Kyoto.

I stayed here on the first day of Golden Week.
I think it's perfect for solo travelers.
It's close to Yasaka Shrine and Gion, and there are plenty of places to eat and drink at night.
I recommend it if you want to focus on sightseeing and eating.
