Everything was clean and they clean all the common areas daily. Huge place, well equipped kitchen. Lots of computers and a comfy lounge area, albeit one of the couches was a little lumpy. The only things that sucked were you had to sit on the tatami floor to use the computers (with a pillow), which was not comfortable for long... More

Um dos melhores albergues que fiquei em varias vezes que fui para kyoto. A localização é realmente perfeita, perto do Teramachi Market, ponto de onibus e estacào de trem. O que achei ruim os quartos sao muito pequenos. No albergue de Utano são bem melhores neste ponto. Os banheiros são limpos e organizados. Há elevadores para ir até os quartos.... More

This hostel is along streets with supermarkets, department stores, couple of blocks from Gion area. Though room was small, it is very clean, and fully functional. For those in budget, you can book single room, but capacity is for 2 person, since there is double bunkbed.

Thanks to the reviews on Trip Advisor, my four friends and I booked dormitory beds at this particular accommodation and it did not live up to its expectations due to the service provided by the staff working there and not because of one aspects, but many others. I could say that my experience was positive and recommended, though only because... More

Stay here for the location. Most or 80% for the attractions in Kyoto are either in the east or around kawaramachi. Weird that this hostel is named after the backpackers street in Bangkok. 1) The Hankyu Line is one to take for the trip to Arashiyama and it is connected to Osaka Umeda Station. Right at the doorsteps of Gion,... More

Little small room for 2 of us, location is good to catch the bus to major attractions, Main train station and shopping centres just around the corner. The only complain is you can hear the guest snoring from your room. Hostel is a little bit pack and 1 female shower room cater for female is definately not enough unless you... More

I was forced to move following the closure of the much better Jalan du guesthouse, where I had been staying. I was glad I was just staying the one night, and was surprised at the positive reviews here. The reception staff were average, which I had no problem with. But the wifi didn't work for hours and then when it... More

A small comfortable little hostel, clean, friendly, spacious kitchen and big comfy common room area. Our bedroom was quite tiny but perfectly adequate and comfortable. Good wifi too throughout the hostel.
