I was taken back by how clean the facility was and how friendly the staff were. We booked this a little impulsively due to a last minute booking mistake but I would honestly stay here again if I had the chance. They make it feel like a mini home with so much information telling you about the weather, things to do in the area, where to eat, etc. The common rooms and kitchens are so nice and stocked if you needed something. Everyone is very polite and respectful, this changed my perspective on hostels. They also all speak English making it extra convenient for foreigners. Thank you!!
Very well organized, everyone was friendly, loved the no shoes policy and provided slippers!, the communal living room space with tables and couches to relax on, the large kitchen and refrigerator to access, and the rooms/beds were great too. Very easy to find, close to metro and bus routes, near the river too which is so pretty! Would stay again!
I really enjoyed my stay here, the room was a but stuffy and humid, but I got used too it haha. The kitchen was really nice and the roof was so relaxing to sit and read on.
This is my second time at K’s and nothing bad to say. If anything, it’s more some of the guests that are loud but otherwise the place is amazing! Walkable from the station (10min), with konbinis and affordable eating options around. Not too far from shopping area or
some temples by foot (20 to 40 mins). You can even rent bikes for a good price. A fully equipped kitchen. Showers on every floors and they are clean. Laundry service with free dryers. Honestly, I’ll come again and recommend definitely!
I always enjoy eating at K’s House. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The shared bathrooms are always clean and easy to access. Will stay there again very soon.
This is the 2nd time I've stayed here as a solo traveller, and I will definitely be back next time I'm in Kyoto. The beds are very comfy and the bedrooms, bathrooms, and common area are very clean. The place has a really good vibe and in a convenient location for public transport and food.
I've been in Japan for 3 weeks now and this was, by far, the best place I've stayed in! I arrived a few hours before check in but was able to store my luggage. I'd like to say a personal big thank you to Michi who was very kind and suggested some places for me to visit around the area. The dorms and common spaces were all very nice (I recommend going up to the rooftop for sunset - you won't be disappointed). The staff were constantly cleaning which was nice to see. The beds were comfortable and the bag storage areas underneath were more than spacious enough. Will definitely be back here and visit other K's hostels around Japan!
Loved staying here! Large dinning area and kitchen so was easy to meet other travellers and eat meals together. Bike hire from venue was great. Staff very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Check-in and checkout was a breeze and facilities were great - will be on my list to return!
Good location Walking to Kyoto station. Friendly staff/ English spoken and very helpful. Nice dorm with hangers and under bed lockers. Nice comfortable mattress… Convenient bus day pass at front desk. Safe neighborhood.
