i have never had so much space to myself in a hostel/capsule hotel before. the bunk was narrow, but you get so many shelves; a rod, hook, and hangers to hang stuff; and plenty of room for your suitcase(s). this alone made it one of the best stays i've ever booked. this is a traditional wooden structure, which may not be for everyone but i loved the vibes so much. please respect the tatami flooring and bring socks, or be prepared to go barefoot. i went during a rainy season, so it was mildly humid even inside even with the ac on. also, sound /does/ travel. every creak of floorboard or bedboard, the murmur of outside conversations, etc, were audible. bring earplugs if you think that would bother you. it's a ~20min walk to the kyoto shinkansen station (doable even with large suitcases as long as you stick to the main roads, which have sidewalks), but there's a closer subway stop ~10min walk away if you have more to carry. the neighbourhood is liberally serviced by multiple bus routes (helpful during your stay!), but the bus system discourages bringing large luggage or large amounts of luggage on board.

Run!!!! The lady was nice in the short interaction we had but then she left right after. It’s old, very old as advertised but completely lacking maintenance. There are only two bathrooms with no sink so you have to wash your hands in the kitchen. Two toilets and two showers for 7 people. Everything is extra, even towels. I was supposed to stay on the ground floor and it’s so noisy when people walk upstairs. Impossible. Now it’s 5:29 pm and I’m leaving to another place, no way I will stay here. There was no one onsite after 4:30 pm. They refused to refund me also even knowing I didn’t stay there. It’s not about being a shared room, it’s about a torn down hotel that needs urgent renovation!!! Avoid at all costs

Charming 100 year old house. We enjoyed our stay. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The room was clean, but the house was old. There is only 1 restroom and 1 bathroom for 7 bedrooms. People need to wait for their turns to use them. The restroom and bathroom are not as good as other hotels that we used that were about the same prices. I would expect more from this hotel with the price of $70/night. The receptionist speaks English well which is a good sign.

Very clean

Ac didnt work it was set to cool and 16C but felt like warm air. Towels not included. Hair dryer lowpower. It is meant to be budget but couldnt sleep well

Great area and near by the station

It’s a really charming little place. The walls were thin so please be mindful about noise level. I had some really noisy people that were staying there which was regretful. It could be cleaner because there was mold on the ceiling of the bathroom. Some places were dusty. I stayed on the second floor but luckily my luggage was bearable. The stairs were steep and narrow. I had to be careful to not destroy anything. Overall, I really like it there.

Really lovely hotel.

The hostel is quite charming and gives a different experience from big chains hotels and hostels however it feels a little bit weird doing check-in and check-out without talking to anyone from the place. The check-in starting at 16:00 and check-out at 10:00 gives the impression that you are being rob. Also, charging for bath towels was unnecessary (at least the first one).
