Hostel vacation rentals in Shimogyo Ward

Excellent room, the kitchen is super clean and easy to use. The people are friendly and have great recommendations for things to do in the neighborhood. The showers, the room, and the neighborhood are all clean and welcoming. would come back for sure

This place is just perfect for a trip away from Kyoto! The hostel is so tidy and clean and comfy. We received an immediate message upon booking to confirm our plans with check-in details. The staff were very sweet, helpful, and friendly and this was an excellent location in a quieter part of the city – across the river and away from the crowds and perfect to still get to be in Arashiyama. The hostel is walkable to the onsen and provides a couple for a discount for entry!

Exactly what I was looking for!

Our group had a wonderful stay! Hosts were kind and location was great.

Mir hat das Hostel von Essam sehr gut gefallen, die Lage war optimal (Zug und Bus mit Fuß sehr gut zu erreichen). Auch ein gutes Ramen Restaurant sowie viele 7/11 sowie Family Marts waren in der Nähe. Zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten braucht man ein bisschen aber das ist mit den Bus und Zugverbindungen gut machbar. Duschen sowie Toiletten waren immer sauber. Gemeinschaftsräume sowie die Küche genauso. Personal war super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Ich konnte viele neue Leute kennenlernen und bin dafür auch sehr dankbar. Würd immer wieder herkommen! Danke nochmal!

This is a hostel but not like any hostel in USA. So clean, private, safe, and comfortable. Wang greeted us and made wonderful recommendations so we went to he Monkey Park (WOW) amazing views in their habitat and views, then Hot Springs and Bamboo forest all within walking distance. Ate and drank and local places recommended that we would never have found. Next day - took Uber to Golden Temple. Such a short stay but did so much. Thank you Mulan and Wang! Highly recommend.

特别干净舒适，尤其是淋浴间和卫生间都非常干净，周边交通也比较便利，前台工作人员超级可爱热情，喜欢~

Die (leider nur sehr kurze) Zeit bei Yusuke und Mariko war sehr, sehr schön! Wir haben uns direkt zuhause gefühlt, es hat gut gerochen und man merkt, dass sie viel Energie und Herz in das Haus gesteckt haben. Yusuke hat uns außerdem viele tolle Tipps für die Umgebung gegeben. Das Viertel ist gemütlich und deutlich angenehmer als die Stadtmitte. Fahrräder kann man ebenfalls leihen, was in Kyoto viel Spaß macht. Vielen Dank, wir kommen gerne wieder!

Had a great stay here. Everything is clean and everything was as described. I will stay here again the next time I visit Kyoto. highly recommended!

Was very clean and cheap, new build so everything modern. bathrooms where great

非常干净的房子，住起来很舒服。自助入住社恐人士非常友好🥹位置也不错离京都站还是比较近的。

very responsive and helpful host, unique experience of a shared amenities space and the room given was clean with ample space to move about

Emiko et sa famille sont adorables, bienveillants, à l’écoute, plein de bons conseils et astuces. La chambre est bien agencée et tout confort. Ce fut un réel plaisir de résider chez eux.

Un environnement reposant, un accueil chaleureux, et une belle bâtisse en bois. Que demander de plus, il y’a un café au rez-de-chaussée qui après sa fermeture vous sert d’espace commun. Cela vaut la peine d’y rester 1 semaine ce lieu vous recharge réellement.

Thank you for your hospitality

everything was perfect. Bed is so comfy. staff in super nice and kind. The style makes you feel the Japanese experience and I absolutely loved it. Cafeteria downstairs is a big plus as they make very nice cappuccino and even offered oat milk which was not the easy to find. everything was super clean

位于京都安静的西阵地区，步行十分钟内有许多公交车站，出行非常便利。住宿内洗浴设施、烹饪设施、洗衣设施等等都十分齐全！房东也非常热情！总的来说，十分推荐❤️

寝室はもちろんキッチンやシャワー、トイレも大変清潔に保たれていました。共有スペースにコーヒー等あるのも落ち着けてうれしかったです。室内スリッパ、ドライヤーも完備され至れり尽くせり。ぜひまたお願いしたいです。

Since the location was quite far from my daughter’s dorm, I almost canceled my reservation. But the many great reviews made me curious, and it turns out staying here really is that comfortable — especially because of the extra space, which is quite generous and helps maintain privacy. Big thanks to the owner for being very responsive and explaining the hotel details clearly and in an easy-to-understand way, even though my Japanese skills are quite limited. Will definitely stay here again if I visit Kyoto in the future.

Great place for solo travelers. The other guests were also very respectful. The location is also very peaceful for a nice evening stroll

I was here for a few nights and really enjoyed my stay. The hostel was clean and neat with a beautiful interior. The staff was very friendly and they were always ready to help out. I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this place for all backpackers who are looking for some calm days in Kyoto

The bus stops right outside the hostel so it's really convenient. There's a lot of attractions nearby and an onsen as well! Beautiful and peaceful place.

Really friendly host and comfy bed. Maybe bring earplugs though cause the beds make sound if you're below someone stirring around it's hard to sleep.Also some rude people banging on the stairs and playing their videos out loud but that's not the Airbnb fault. I just was too shy to tell them to be quiet haha

Shared room w 5 others, expect some noise for people moving about while asleep. Some people may enter and exit and may interrupt sleep. That said, it is an excellent place for sleeping in and resting throughout the day since they have a quiet bottom floor where people work and do things. Fridge is there too for you to keep some food. There is a *** water*** dispenser so you don't have to purchase water.
