“Best location, great value for money!”

The location was excellent. Exit 9 is the closest exit you can take from the Keihan Gion-Shijo station and you'll end up right in front of the hostel. Room was small, cozy and just enough for two people. At first, we had a little misunderstanding with the host, but it was resolved immediately. The host was understanding and accommodating. She made sure we were comfortable up until we check out!

Staff were helpful, facilities were clean. Very basic kitchen facilities- enough to make a bowl of cereal etc. washing machine service was affordable and the staff sorted it for you so you didn’t have to hang around waiting for someone else’s cycle to end. Such a great location near the subway and by the bustling centre of Gion- this was what made it for me and I would stay again just for this.

The location is just perfect, Walking distance from the station. At night you can chill at Pontocho Alley and walk back to the hostel, as it is just on the opposite street to the hostel. Safe for female travelers. Clean rooms.

The location is great. There is a small room with a fridge, microwave, boiler and toaster. There was someone in the room who snored VERY loudly, and the staff was considerate and handed out ear plugs to all the people in the room.

Great location! Comfortable sleep and remarkably quiet for how close to a busy road it is! No complaints but everything is very tiny, tiny common area, but it is to be expected in Japan.

You pay for what you get here. No frills but comfortable. I saw the staff cleaning up between turn overs and they take their time to make sure all is good and spray down the beds. Great location!

The staff were friendly. The location is perfect, train station right outside, main street just around the corner. I just walked everywhere as it was really close to many of the major temples. I highly recommend walking if you can as you stumble upon so many quaint side streets and rivers! The common areas were kept clean and tidy.
