Bit far out but buses were ok.
In and out buses to get to the temples and Gion festival but ok for a hostel and friendly enough. Self check-in was a bit weird.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Small place, bad location, too many rules
The place is really small with thin walls/floors. The guests next door have kids running around till mid night so we couldn't sleep. Location is not good. The only interesting things nearby are the Ginkakuji castle and the Philosopher's path. Everything else is located at least 4 km away or 30 mins away by bus. (They have rental bikes and free wifi) There are rules sticking everywhere in the house. Which makes you feel unwelcome.

An acequible option in Kyoto, good location, parking available (aditional cost) and very confortable futons. I only suggest change the air filters in the shower and kitchen zone because they look a little dirty.

Séjour très agréable
Excellent rapport qualité-prix. L'équipe est sympathique, les sanitaires sont très propres. L'hôtel est un peu excentré mais le quartier est intéressant avec notamment le temple Ginkakuji et le sentier de la philosophie à proximité. Un arrêt de bus à deux pas facilite les déplacements. Notre chambre était assez petite, mais malgré tout propre et fonctionnelle. Du café, du thé ainsi que le nécessaire de cuisine sont mis gracieusement à disposition des clients. possibilité de louer des vélos à un prix très correct.

Gut ausgestattet und sauber zum günstigen Preis
Wegen dem niedrigen Preis hatten wir keine große Erwartungen. Überraschenderweise blieben jedoch keine Wünsche offen. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und die Einrichtung dort hatte alles war man brauchte: Eine Waschmaschine war vorhanden, Dusche und Toiletten waren sauber. Es herrschte eine tolle Atmosphäre zwischen den Gästen und das Hostel ist sehr Kinderfreundlich - unserem vierjährigen hat es dort auch super gefallen :)
