CcqwzljrI really like this place. It’s my first time to travel to Japan alone. I stayed in Osaka the night before, and I stayed here when I came to Kyoto. I saw it recommended by others before, even though my Japanese is very poor. Fortunately, I can communicate in English. The lady who checked me in was very patient and took me inside to explain the area to me. When I checked out in the morning, my uncle was very enthusiastic and even called the dog out. I was actually completely I booked this hotel because I was attracted by dogs... I was so pleasantly surprised, and then I successfully took a photo with the dog! (It was resting when I came the night before. It had its own name, but I forgot it😂) I really like it, and there is a path nearby where you can walk to Kiyomizudera Temple. There are few people at night and the scenery is beautiful. It is really a special time. An unforgettable and wonderful experience! Thank you to everyone I met!

KKyoto GodFUGA STAY, true to the meaning of its name “fuga” (elegance and serenity), is a refined and peaceful hideaway tucked within the heart of Kyoto.
I personally love hotels that are hidden away from the main road yet still extremely convenient—just a 3 to 5-minute walk from Omiya Subway Station and numerous Kyoto city bus stops.
If you’re into cycling or using e-scooters, there’s a Luup rental station right in front of the hotel.
The room is spacious and very comfortable for a solo traveler. It comes with two double beds that you can easily move together to form a super king-size bed. The bathroom is also large, with no sense of tightness.
The front desk staff speaks Japanese and Chinese, so communication is smooth and easy.
Honestly, I’m hesitant to praise FUGA too much—if too many people discover it, the price might go up!
P.S. Just around the corner is Tendō Shrine, only a 2-minute walk away. It felt like a beautiful encounter by fate.
FUGA STAYは、その名の通り「風雅」で、賑やかな場所の中にありながらも静かで、控えめで上品な空間です。
大通りに面していないホテルが好きな私にとって、ここは理想的な立地です。徒歩3〜5分で大宮駅や京都市内の多数のバス停にアクセスできます。
自転車や電動キックボードが好きな方には、目の前にLuupのステーションがあってとても便利です。
部屋は広く、一人で泊まってもとても快適です。ダブルベッドが2台あり、自分で簡単に動かして、特大キングサイズベッドのように使うことができます。トイレも広々としていて、窮屈さは感じません。
フロントでは日本語と中国語（漢語）が通じるので、安心して滞在できます。
正直、あまり褒めすぎたくないです…人気が出て値上がりしそうで（笑）
P.S. すぐ近くの路地に「天道神社」があり、徒歩2分ほどです。素敵なご縁を感じました。
FUGA STAY，如同其名字「風雅」一般，是一處鬧中取靜、低調而優雅的住宿空間。
我特別喜歡這種不在主幹道上、卻又交通便利的飯店——步行3到5分鐘即可抵達地鐵大宮站與眾多京都市巴士站點。
如果你喜歡騎單車或滑板車，門口就有Luup的租借點，非常方便。
房間空間寬敞，一個人住起來非常舒適，因為配置了兩張雙人床（可以輕鬆地自行移動，變成超級大king size）；廁所空間也很大，毫無壓迫感。
前台服務人員通曉日語與漢語，溝通無障礙。
說真的，我不太想過度讚美FUGA，因為怕太多人知道之後價格會上漲（笑）
P.S. 小巷轉角就有一間「天道神社」，走路約2分鐘，非常有緣。

XXqlKinda upset that the cabinet is full and there’s no place to hang my clothes. The cushions on the tatami has lots of stains which feels so dirty. It makes me wonder if the curtains are clean too.
The staff at the reception that I met only understands Japanese, it’s challenging to communicate and I have to keep using a translator which is a hassle.
I forgot my keys on one of the nights and couldn’t dial through any of the numbers that is on the window of the reception. Stood there for approximately 20 minutes then I tried to check if I can send a message instead. I felt devastated. Perhaps a phone can be placed outside so that guests can use it to call when there is an emergency?
Thankfully I could send an iMessage using iPhone and the staff came to assist with opening the door for me in about 15 minutes which is pretty quick.

GGuest UserIt's similar to a Japanese economy hotel. It's quite small. It's very close to JR Nijo Station, and you can see it when you get out of the station. It is also very close to the subway station. There is a bakery, restaurant, and convenience store at the door, which is super convenient. This station is also beautiful, with cherry trees at the entrance of the station. Close to Nijo Castle, about 10 minutes on foot to Nijo Castle.

OOzEmPicsLoved this cozy and delightful capsule hostel.
It’s just north of Nijo Castle and about a 15 min walk to the closest subway station. (Local not a JR Station) It’s about a 15 min walk from the Kyoto Palace and Gardens - just continue down the main road that fronts the premises.
The deluxe cabin rooms are tucked away in the Basement level for additional quiet and privacy.
There are multiple floors with capsule beds and shared bathroom facilities. There’s a laundry and common room on the 6th floor.
Guests can grab all their essentials from the Family Mart or 7-Eleven just a 3 mins stroll from the front door. They also have ATMs and copying facilities.
The staff are helpful and can speak reasonably good English. There is a wall of maps for major attractions close by.
Loved the experience and will gladly recommend and return

BBilly ShaoIf you can, definitely ask for the bottom bunk, it was a pain in the ass climbing up and down with the top not having a head of head space. They do provide lockers with keys to lock up your valuables. They also provide some commonly used items on top of the fridge. Shower is in the room but washroom is shared in the communal area on every floor, the toilet stalls are extremely tight, it was a challenge to sit down, will def be problematic for taller individuals. It is a bit of a walk from the station but it is very quiet at night, everyone in the room was very respectful and tried to minimize the sound as much as possible. Overall, aside from the toilet being way too crammed, everything was good.

AAlina RemПлюсы: расположение, большие номера, понятная система заселения.
Не верьте тем, кто пишет, что сложно зайти в отель. В 10 утра в день заселения на почту приходит ПОДРОБНАЯ инструкция, с кодом от входной двери и с кодом от номера, для получения карт-ключей.
Завтраков в отеле нет.
Минусы: очень грязно, мало света, нет уборки номеров, нет воды в номере

GGuest UserMy mother and I had a very comfy stay at this traditional Kyoto home in a residential area (FYI, the private rooms are on the upper floor. The staircase will be very treacherous.) The team was great and explained everything in detail. I appreciated that they took my mother's suitcase up as I followed behind. I liked the local neighborhood feeling compared to the buzzy central area, but you will need to take a bus from across the street to get anywhere before hopping on any train. Btw there was no shortage of places to eat in the neighborhood. (The 93 bus is convenient from the hostel because it will drop you off at the entrance of the Arashiyama bamboo grove.) I would stay at this location again.
