Loved this stay. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Showers and bathroom were very clean. I had the bottom bunk and I can say it was very comfortable. Unfortunately I had to deal with a very loud snorer next to me but that's normal for a hostel lol. Other guests were social and made for a fun stay. Will definitely stay here again!

Short and sweet
Cute little place. Not as traditional as a lot of the other Ryokan options in Kyoto for around the same price in terms of the style. A very vanilla room in that sense. Staff seemed friendly enough and helped when they could

Everything is ok but the shower. You have to push a lever for the water to come out for like 10 seconds. So you have to be constantly pushing for the water to come out. Very troublesome.

Very friendly front desk. There were three of us in a 6-bunkbed room, we gotten Sakura room which was right in front of the shared bathroom/basin, very convenient for my aged mum for bathroom visits. Only downside was most rooms were on level two and three, there were no lifts. :(
There’s sukiyaki just 20metres away, great for late night meals/supper!

Nice place. But don't expect to meet and mingle with other travelers in this hostel. The common area is not really set up to meet and mingle.

Kyoto Hana Hostel
Walking distance from Kyoto station but needed help to find the street it was on but once you get there, it was easy to navigate. Staff were very helpful. Buy the bus pass here before you head out so you are set for the day. I would book here again.

Location is very handy to the central train station, you can get to the hostel almost entirely underground. Rooms are small but have everything you need including cupboard for luggage and separate toilet and private shower.

Nice location
The hostel is within a short walk distance from Kyoto Station. Quite noisy in the morning though maybe as I wad staying in the family on the first floor.

Clean hostel for short stay
Staff are incredibly pleasant and are some of the best English speaking staff we encountered the whole trip! I don’t usually stay at hostels but due to many hotels being incredibly expensive that day, stayed here. Japanese Style Room with private bathroom was very clean, and well maintained. No bugs (except one spider but those are the good kind of bug). Tatami mats made for the best sleep. Downside was that the room had a slight smell and felt a bit damp. Very doable for a short stay.
