Wise Owl Hostels Kyoto

It's my first time trying a room with such design, no bunk-bed capsules but compact rooms seperated by walls and blinds. There is no walkable area inside the unit, just bed and a storage space, but quite comfortable actually. The dormitary is mix-gender and shower is at the basement, a bit inconvenient but works. Really like the common area, equipped with kitchenware so people can cook there!

Staff very friendly. Near kyoto station. Just in front of aeon mall. Clean. Booked the private room with a bunk bed. It’s enough for 2 people. Free shampoo, body soap and conditioner other than that not free. I hope you can provide at least tissue box even in the private room.

Good hostel close to the Kyoto station. Rooms are very spacious and beds are comfortable

Very close to the city center and station, quite convenient to walk everywhere without taking a public transportation. The only issue for me was a very strong smell of urine in the shower room. Not sure if it's because of the water pipe problem or what, but it smells soooo bad. So, I kind of had a hard time holding my breath while drying my hair in that room. Even though it looks clean and ventilated, I just couldn't. And plus, me and my sis didn't received an indoor shoes to wear in the building. However, we luckily found someone who left their shoes in the hallway (so we secretly took them lol). Overall it's okay and I do actually had a great time. Staff is friendly and able to communicate in English. And If I have my next Kyoto trip again, this hostel would probably will be one of the very first choices I might consider.

Soooo nice, hotel’s staff friendly, location near subway.
