This is a unique hostel with its Japanese charm. Place is in excellent location—- about 15- minutes walk to Kyoto station, a couple minutes to a subway station & to bus stops. I was able reach popular destinations easily with public transportation. Convenient store & McDonald’s are just a couple minutes walk as well. Though, good to venture local restaurants. As a solo female traveler, I definitely felt safe. Very close to a scenic river. I had a double room with a bunk bed. However, I happened to not have a roommate & had the room all to myself! It has a window. Charming bed, with Japanese mattress & pillow. There’s a rooftop terrace. Laundry is inexpensive—only 100 yen for both wash & dry. Tea bags of different variety are available & complimentary. I specifically like the one of brown rice. I got to meet & talk with other people from other countries while at the lobby. It was fun! Mr. Ace is a wonderful host. He speaks excellent English, very accommodating, down-to-earth, helpful of suggestions of places to see in Kyoto. Provided assistance with my huge luggage in check-in & check-out process. I need to travel lightly next time. I highly recommend this charming hostel. Will definitely come back!
