Location, comfort and luggage storage, all excelle
The best capsule hotel I've stayed at.Cozy and private, nice staff, comfortable temperature and good showers. Easy luggage storage before and after stay. Excellent location for being nearby a lot of food and fun, but off a small street so it is not loud and is very peaceful. I would stay here again and recommend highly. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

It’s very close to Gion station and the Main Street. The hostel was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. If you don’t want to keep your bags in the rooms you can leave them downstairs in an area that is secured by cameras. I recommend staying here if you want to be close to Yasaka shrine, Kiyomizudera, Kodaiji temple, and Kenin Ji Temple. Even the popular restaurant Kichi Kichi omurice and bars are a 10 min walk away.

Amazing place, location and service
If there’s space, book this place, you will love it! Traveling with a family of 5 we booked a private room for 4 nights. Room was clean and spacious. The place is located one step away from the train station and the beautiful historical district of Gion, super close to the action but still located in a quiet street. Location is so great that we even saw Geishas on the very first day whilst walking around. There’s a convenience store across the street and is walking distance from restaurants and main sightseeing spots. WiFi in the room worked perfectly and the staff were very helpful and nice. This has definitely been one of the best places we’ve stayed during our 15 day trip through Japan. A couple of hiccups, the private rooms are located on the ground floor next to the reception so it can be a bit noisy if there’s people speaking loud at the lobby or the TV is on, but in general everyone is very mindful of the noise. Also, although there was a curtain trying to block it, having the light of the WiFi router flashing during the night in the room was annoying. But these were small things compared to the overall stay. We’d definitely stay here again!

Fantastic Stay at the Gion Area
The hostel has a great Japanese style interior that is complemented with lots of amenities and facilities for you to enjoy a wonderful stay. I really liked the comfy beds and tatami interior too. Couple that with the friendly staff, the hostel is a great choice for exploring in the Gion area.

22時迄にチェックインできずに、前もってお電話わしましたら、スタッフの方のご対応が温かく、楽しみに伺いました。同室のお客様方が皆さん旅慣れておられるのか、マナーが良く、学ぶところがたくさんあり、本当に快適でした。スタッフの方々のお心使いが、泊まる者に浸透するのだと感じ入りました。

インバウンドが多いが施設内の治安は良かったです。清潔で設備も十分だが、ベッドに柵がないので2段目は荷物などの落下に注意が必要だと思います。また、各階のエレベーター前など共有部分も空調を効かせてほしいです。

Die Lage der Unterkunft war super und das Personal nett. Ich finde schade, dass es keine Möglichkeit gibt, seinen Koffer vernünftig zu verstauen. Der Schlafsaal steht voll mot Gepäck. Auch finde ich den Duschraum etwas klein für so viele Personen. Alles in allem dennoch eine gute Unterkunft :-)

교토에 있는 도미토리입니다.
평이 좋아서 숙박했는데 저는 도미토리 성향이 아니어서 그런지 딱히 좋은 느낌은 받지 못했습니다. 배낭족들이 본인 침대 옆에 배낭을 두었는데 큼직한 짐이 널부러져 있는게 보기 불편했어요. 그래도 코를 고는 사람은 없어서 그 점은 만족했습니다. 직원이 영어를 잘 하지 못해 체크인 시 일부 불편함이 있었습니다. 1회 용품에 대해 비용을 받고 있으니 참고하면 좋을 듯합니다.
