24 October 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Free breakfastdorm room was well presented and laid out - curtains for each bed a good addition.

Disliked: Showers were on the ground floor next to the tv, computers and 'common room'. they were a touch on the smelly side.

28 September 2010 Roman would recommend this property

Liked: Great and very helpful stuff. We stayed both in private room (with private shower + bathroom) and dorms, and both places are fully adequate. Short walk from Nijo castle (less than 10 minutes) and very close to convenience store/bus. 15 minutes walk from JR station. Overall: a great place!

Disliked: No lift, you have stairs to climb (but there's one for the luggage).

Liked: The location and the staff was excellent. We felt warmly welcomed though we were traveling with 5 children ... they appreciate breakfast most ... we loved the opened mind attitude of the staff. If we ever go back to Kyoto, we surely book again here !

30 December 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This place is firmly average - you get what you pay for, and it's decent value for money. Be aware that the "kitchen" is a single hotplate, and that "breakfast" is routinely cancelled.

20 November 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I'm not going to say that this was the greatest place I've ever been, but it has been the best money worth spending for what I got. The place is close to Bus routes and subway station. With a name like 'Kyoto's Cheapest Inn' you're probably not going to get 5 star extras, but why would you spend all your time at a Hostel suring your travels anyway? If you stay here go to LaJolla - it's a great Cali Mexican restaurant. When you walk out the door go down (in the direction towards Family Mart) two streets (count the first one as you go out) and turn right and you'll find it on your right hand side. Nice little 'whole in the wall' place.

08 September 2009

Liked: there's a possibility of paying less money and sleeping on (rather hard) mattresses in the main room using one's own sleeping bag - ask for this option at reception, since i'm not sure whether they have it online

03 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Beds were very clean and had good curtains dividing them. Showers were pretty bad - only 3 cubicles in the reception area - dirty and smelly.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

03 August 2009

Liked: Compared to Hotel Toyo in Osaka, Hostel Kyotokko was inconvenient and expensive. For the same price in Osaka, I got a private room with AC. Hostel Kyotokko is about 15 minutes from the nearest subway station. It's not terrible, but I think there must be a better place to stay.

28 July 2009

Liked: This hostel was ok. Not too bad but not good! The hostel itself has no sinks or showers in the dorms (all downstairs by reception, one sink for over 40 beds). The kitchen was ok but very small and cramped especially during breakfast. In terms of location it was at least a 45 minute walk to Gion which is the best sight seeing spot especially during festival in July. However, you can get the metro but we needed to save serious money! Metro is ok for sight seeing but during a night out it finishes too early so you are left with either staying out all night or paying for a very expensive taxi!
