Kyoto Hostels

I had a very nice stay :) However, there were some drawbacks. 1. The bed curtains don’t close all the way, but leaves cracks where light can seep into the room. As the corridor between bunks/rooms is lit 24/7 this was a bit annoying. 2. The curtains do not offer any soundproofing and neither do the walls. I heard people pulling up their duvet, shifting in bed, snoring etc. The curtains themselves were also very noisy. 3. The bathroom door does have a ”slow stop” but it just gives a false sense of security. As the bathroom door will slide back into place after use most people just dropped it, however, what they failed to remember was that at the end of the rail the door still hits the wall with a resounding bonk and bounces back to repeat itself. I awoke startled multiple times, as it sounded as if someone was knocking to get into my room. 4. The automatic lock on the main bedroom door is also very loud, but you don’t get the knocking-like sound of the bathroom door. Sound-wise; the complimentary earplugs were great saviors. 5. The only showers are on the 4th floor. This was inconvenient for me as I had to juggle pjamas, a toiletries bag, bathroom slippers and towels from my floor. However, I think this is easy enough to fix; just provide the lower rooms with a basket to carry stuff in. All in all I had a great stay! The hotel is super close to landmarks as Nishiki Market and Kyoto museum so I could always find my way back. The shared areas were also spotless and included great amenities. The staff is super kind as well. It seems like their making the common area even bigger!

Awesome, especially the hostel staff who were super friendly. Highly recommend it! It's also very clean and safe, and the showers are convenient. The environment is great, with a balcony and an open-air area on the ground floor. Absolutely loved it!

This stay was truly excellent. The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, right near Kyoto Shijo, surrounded by a bustling commercial district with several large malls. There are tons of dining and shopping options, and it's a short walk to the Kamo River, perfect for daytime browsing and evening strolls. There's a bus stop right outside the hotel and a subway entrance nearby, making it easy to get to all the main attractions – transport is absolutely hassle-free. The hotel itself is very clean and well-maintained daily. Both the public areas and rooms are kept in great condition. The complimentary toiletries are incredibly comprehensive; besides the usual shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, they also provide makeup remover, facial cleanser, toner, and lotion, so you can essentially pack light. There's also a dedicated water and lounge area with a smart beverage machine offering free coffee, tea, and other drinks. The public dining area is handy if you buy food from a convenience store. Even though it's a capsule hotel, the internal design is very well thought out – it's small but has everything you need. Inside the capsule, you can adjust the lighting and air conditioning, there are plenty of charging ports, and even a small TV. It was much more comfortable than I expected. Every day, fresh towels, slippers, and other amenities are neatly placed under the bed, so you don't have to go collect them, which is a very thoughtful detail. Sleeping was generally quiet; there was hardly any noise inside the hotel. Occasionally, I'd hear motorcycles speeding by outside at night, but it didn't last long and didn't significantly affect my rest. Check-in and check-out are self-service, making the process quick and easy. The hotel also has a washer-dryer combo, which is incredibly convenient for travelers on a longer trip, and lockers for luggage storage. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the location, transportation convenience, facilities, and cleanliness – it offers fantastic value for money. For solo travelers or those on a budget who still want a comfortable stay, this hotel is highly recommended. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Kyoto.

Traveling alone in Japan, my first stop was this hotel, and it left a fantastic impression on me. It's an 8-story building, and there were three staff members at the front desk. One particularly lovely lady from Hong Kong spoke Chinese, which made for a seamless check-in experience. All the staff here are incredibly polite. The 8th floor isn't just the front desk; surprisingly, it's also a large communal area where you can chat, relax, and even work. They even offer free-flowing beer at specific times every afternoon, and of course, the water from the dispenser is also complimentary. The bed height is adjustable, and the bathroom, sink, and toilet are all separate, with plenty of space. There's also a washing machine available. Just turn left when you go downstairs, and you'll find a parking lot, which was very convenient when my Japanese friend came to pick me up. The hotel's location is excellent, right in the Kawaramachi/Shijo area. The moment you step out, you're on a bustling street, and public transport is very close by. I highly recommend staying here! I'll definitely choose this place again next time.

This is definitely one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at! The location is very peaceful, and there are two huge cherry blossom trees right outside the hostel. It was so lovely to sit in the dining room and watch the cherry blossoms through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The room was also very comfortable, with excellent privacy. There's a free onsen, and even though it's not real natural hot spring water, soaking in it after a long day of walking is still incredibly relaxing. The paid breakfast was decent; while I expected more variety for the price, there aren't many restaurants or convenience stores nearby, so it's a good option. All in all, it was a very comfortable stay, and I would definitely choose this hostel again next time I'm in Kyoto!

The location was good because it was near Omiya Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line. It's 2 stops from Kyoto Kawaramachi Station. I was satisfied with both the facilities and cleanliness. All the staff were friendly.

This is the most spacious hotel room I've ever stayed in. It's incredibly roomy, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offer a beautiful night view. There's a supermarket downstairs which is really convenient for shopping. Even though it's on a main street, it's surprisingly quiet.

Everything was great, the owner was lovely and helpful. Everything was clean, wifi was very fast. Definitely recommended one of the best hostels I’ve stay at.

The room is clean, large and reasonable. It is very close to the station. There was also a coin laundry. There was a large refrigerator and a microwave. The room was large, so it was relaxing and very comfortable. I would like to use it again.

I had a great stay at Continuu Capsule Hotel. The capsule was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious. The shared bathrooms and showers were spotless, and the facilities were well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the check-in process was quick and easy. The location was convenient, with easy access to public transportation, convenience stores, and restaurants. It was a great value for the price, and I would definitely stay here again on my next trip
