Kioto Albergues

"Can't find enough good things to say about this hostel! - My cousin and I stayed at Sayoko's Nishijin Kanouya hostel for five days in September and it was just wonderful.

Anyone wanting a warm and friendly traditional place to stay should visit. Whatever you want to do, Sayoko has a suggestion. Need a map -- it's there! Help with anything at all --...  more »

"Sets a new standard in excellence - Incredible. The design and layout of this place is great. It's like an Ikea showroom. The whole place is spotlessly clean. There's a large comfortable common area, roof terrace or excellent bar to hangout out in. All alcoholic drinks at the bar cost 390 yen -- cheap by Japanese standards. The staff are very efficient and friendly. The rooms are very clean, comfortable and air conditioned. There are large storage lockers in the base of the bunk beds -- so...  more »

"Excellent value for money - At 1200 Yen if you bring your sleeping bag (2200 if you want a mattress) hard to beat on price. Dont expect anything in "gaijin"-size though. The three showers on the ground floor are so narrow that its difficult to turn around in if you are 1,80 m. The dorm has a bit of a displaced-persons camp of the kind they had after the war: Sheets and cardboard separating the bunks. Luggage lockers available. Meticulously clean and attentive staff.

"Would never go near this place again - Terrible, moody owner who gets pissy and passive aggressive when people break "rules" he never actually explains. Sh*tty shower and toilet arrangements. Thin, uncomfortable bed and cold rooms. Curfew at night at 11:00 and you have to leave in the morning by 10:00. Few interesting things nearby in the area -- it may be central, but that doesn't mean it's actually close to anything useful. Felt uncomfortable and unwelcome during my entire stay here.

"Utano is by far one of the best youth hostels in Japan. I traveled from one end of the country to the other visiting many hostels and I always compared them to Kyoto's Utano Youth Hostel. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is laid back, and the food is great. The breakfest buffet is good and the dinners are made by some old school Kyoto folks who know how to make some really awesome traditional Japanese cuisine. It may be far away from the main station, but it is close to a lot of the...  more »

"Great Place and Location - We stayed here for four nights when we were in Kyoto. The map they give you is a little difficult, we got a bit lost but I think it was our fault. The hostel is on a side street which is a one-lane and looks a bit like an alley. But it is a very safe area, we didn't have any problems and didn't feel any unease while we were walking there after dark (10 p.m. to midnight). The place is a few blocks from Kyoto station which is very convenient, and there is an elevator...  more »

"The location of this hostel cannot be beat. It is blocks away from Kizomizu temple, Pontocho street, the river, and Gion. The staff is very friendly. I liked the free internet and the bicycle rentals (500 yen/day!). Kyoto is great for biking, so this made a big difference for me. I stayed in one of the four person female dormitories, which was fine -- there is air conditioning, but the bathroom is not clean and there were some bugs (spiders and a cockroach). The shower is across the...  more »
