Brand new hostel in Kyoto
This is an absolutely great hostel - brand new, very clean, spacious ground floor (this is the common area) but maybe not enough seating when the hostel is fully booked (add a couch?). One can feel that everything is brand new, my room (8 people dorm) had a top light and bottom lights (next to the beds) for the night, which I thought was great. The bed is very comfortable and you can choose between three or four types of pillows (sic!)! My bed had a total of 3 power outlets + 1 USB port + my own lamp that stretches over the entire width of the bed. I didn't like too much that the lockers come with keys (mine was already bent) since I prefer to use my own padlock, but I guess most people won't bring their own so this is fine.
A big advantage is the lovely staff, they are really welcoming and helped me to reserve a ticket for a Geisha dance performance and told me where to pick it up.
I have stayed near the station before, which was nice for connections, but this hostel has everything nearby and the bus line 50 is literally just steps away (9min to Kyoto station) and many other bus lines are within 5 minutes walking distance. For me, this hostel is just great.
Now, why am I writing this lengthy review? Because on my last night (I stayed 4 nights), I had the entire 4th floor to myself and I felt like helping the ladies out with a review, so others may choose to book here. If you're reading this: You won't regret staying here.
