Hostel is in excellent area of Shijo where Gion Kyoto is walkable and the Gion free walking tour is excellent to understand the geiko/maiko ecosystem.
The hostel is not so clean and service is below par but cuisine food around the area is cult chefs standard so quite happy with the quality.

A very clean and organised accommodation. The dorms were nice, with curtains over our beds, which increased our privacy. Free large lockers in the rooms, requiring your own lock. There wasn't a lot of space for baggage, especially suitcases. Free green tea in the shared common area. Not a very social hostel. Staff were friendly however their English was limited. Be aware that all accommodation in Kyoto has a tourist tax, so you will be charged more when you arrive. There was multiple stations within walking distance (500m to 1km).

1.The price is matching its situation, cost efficiency is not bad.
2.but the reception is too careless, it led me have to look for another restaurant in the last night, because she forget to extend my order for one day. That make huge budget pressure on me even I can’t bear.

I loved everything! The place is clean and close to the Gion matsuri, so when we arrived, it was just happening outside.
They had a kitchen, clean bathrooms, and showers with tubs.
Plus, there's a small izakaya next door that we loved just as much. The staff was very friendly. We'll definitely come back next year, but for longer this time.

The room was very clean. The bed and tatami mat were perfect for those who prefer firm and soft beds. The facilities were also complete, perfect for four people. Great value! It's about 500 meters from Shijo Station, and about 500 meters by bus, which is quite convenient. It was also very quiet at night. The front desk also spoke good English, which was great.
