This was definitely a highlight. The bathhouse is a bit small but when you have it to yourself it is amazing. Area is pretty good, close to the market. Staff are really helpful and even let me check in early! Just the facilities are a bit old but that's what the experience is for ig.

建物の内装・外装共とてもおしゃれです。室内はUB等が無い分広く、ゆったり過ごせました。 ドアの開閉音や廊下を歩く人の足音などはかなり聞こえますが、注意書きにシャワーの使用時間や室内でのオーディオの再生等のルールがきちんと書かれているため、快適に過ごせると思いました。

the place is really a good location. Near the ninenzaka, kiyomizu temple, gion district and bus stop. If you like night/morning walking around those area, i can say this place is really a good location. and near the supermarket if you want to buy something and eat it in your room.

Rent och fräscht boende!

Ett väldigt rent och fräscht hostel med närhet till buss och Giondistriktet! Det ligger bra restauranger uppe på stora gatan, ca 7 min promenad bort. Jag hade kanske önskat att det fanns möjlighet till frukost på boendet, men det finns inget kök bortsett från mikro och kyl. Annars som sagt, rent och fräscht!
