I highly recommend Guest House Oumi. The surrounding neighborhood is very quiet and it's a 5 min walk away from Nijo station which is very convenient. Tonii-san, the main operator of the guest house, was incredibly friendly and hospitable towards me and the other guests. I asked to switch beds in one of the rooms I was staying in and he allowed me to do so without hesitation. He also provided an iron and ironing board when I inquired about it. As an added bonus, the breakfast sandwiches were delightful.

毎朝のサンドイッチ、無料の飲み物が嬉しい反面24時間オープンなのは少し不安でした。二階に上がるのに急な階段なので個室利用の方は大変かと思います。ドミトリーは一階で便利でした。ドミトリー部屋のドアにも鍵はなく、貴重品は鍵付きの小さいロッカーに入れます。部屋が狭いので荷物の整理などは少し工夫が必要です。
