Twin Room Near Arashiyma Hotspring
This place is just perfect for a trip away from Kyoto! The hostel is so tidy and clean and comfy. We received an immediate message upon booking to confirm our plans with check-in details. The staff were very sweet, helpful, and friendly and this was an excellent location in a quieter part of the city – across the river and away from the crowds and perfect to still get to be in Arashiyama. The hostel is walkable to the onsen and provides a couple for a discount for entry!

Mixed Dormitory room for up to 4 guests
Exactly what I was looking for!

Kyoto Guesthouse Hachijo room 3
非常好的房間,整潔乾淨,房主非常熱情。 交通便利,離車站很近,附近的居酒屋也很好吃。 It's a nice room that very clean. Sayako is very kind and nice that you can be easy to tell her whatever or whenever you need help. The room is near the MRT station and very easy to go anywhere. Also, the Japanese bar near the room is very delicious and stunning. It's called Ichiban.

Female only dormitory room for up to 4 guests
Nice place to stay and easy to find it. I hope one day gonna stay in there.

Japanese Style 3person near Arashiyama Hotspring
This is a hostel but not like any hostel in USA. So clean, private, safe, and comfortable. Wang greeted us and made wonderful recommendations so we went to he Monkey Park (WOW) amazing views in their habitat and views, then Hot Springs and Bamboo forest all within walking distance. Ate and drank and local places recommended that we would never have found. Next day - took Uber to Golden Temple. Such a short stay but did so much. Thank you Mulan and Wang! Highly recommend.

JP style room twin bed
The (unfortunately only very short) time with Yusuke and Mariko was very, very nice! We felt right at home, it smelled good and you can tell that they put a lot of energy and heart into the house. Yusuke also gave us many great tips for the area. The neighborhood is cozy and much more pleasant than the city center. Bicycles can also be rented, which is a lot of fun in Kyoto. Thank you, we'll be happy to come back!

A very nice place to stay in for a few days, the building is really amazing and the mood of the Cafe and guest house is great !

[Stay at a 100-year-old traditional inn] Female Dorm: Gojo Guest House
For the first time alone, I chose a tour, for people who are not required to stay, this is definitely a very good choice. There are things in the hotel, there is also a small kitchen where you can cook, Kiyomizu Temple, Kamogawa, Shijo shopping street, etc. Only walking distance, I am very happy to stay, I will stay here again in Kyoto.Thank you for the hospitality of a few young ladies, English was good, communication was not a problem at all.

UnisexNarrowCabin-B Sui Kyoto
The bedroom, kitchen, shower, and toilet were all kept very clean.I was glad to have coffee and other things in the shared space.Indoor slippers and hair dryers are also provided.I definitely want to do it again.

Women's Wide Cabin Hostel Sui Kyoto
Since the location was quite far from my daughter’s dorm, I almost canceled my reservation. But the many great reviews made me curious, and it turns out staying here really is that comfortable — especially because of the extra space, which is quite generous and helps maintain privacy. Big thanks to the owner for being very responsive and explaining the hotel details clearly and in an easy-to-understand way, even though my Japanese skills are quite limited. Will definitely stay here again if I visit Kyoto in the future.

La Casa 205 , very close to the Kyoto station
It's always the best place to stay in Kyoto. Thank you!

C. Brand New Pods Hotel [Mixed]
Great place for solo travelers. The other guests were also very respectful. The location is also very peaceful for a nice evening stroll

Mix-gender dormitory | hostel niniroom
It was a late self check-in, but the instructions were easy to understand and I was able to enter the room smoothly.I arrived late at night and left early in the morning, so I did not meet the staff, but there was nothing to worry about.I think it's thanks to the simple and accurate guidance and the easy-to-use facilities in the building.I felt that attention was paid to the details, and that it was a wonderful management. In many guesthouses where many people come and go, there are many facilities where shoes and personal belongings are scattered, but this one had a well-organized system. The system of changing into personal slippers also gave a sense of cleanliness and made a very good impression.In addition, there is a bakery in the neighborhood that opens early in the morning, so I had no trouble with breakfast and had a comfortable stay. I'd love to stay again.Thank you!

Bunk Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
The bus stops right outside the hostel so it's really convenient. There's a lot of attractions nearby and an onsen as well! Beautiful and peaceful place.

THE NEXT DOOR dormitory B for female 003
Really friendly host and comfy bed. Maybe bring earplugs though cause the beds make sound if you're below someone stirring around it's hard to sleep.Also some rude people banging on the stairs and playing their videos out loud but that's not the Airbnb fault. I just was too shy to tell them to be quiet haha

Dormitory/Renovated 110-year-old wooden building/Coworking and shared kitchen/Accommodation tax collected on site
Shared room w 5 others, expect some noise for people moving about while asleep. Some people may enter and exit and may interrupt sleep. That said, it is an excellent place for sleeping in and resting throughout the day since they have a quiet bottom floor where people work and do things. Fridge is there too for you to keep some food. There is a *** water*** dispenser so you don't have to purchase water.
