K's House Kyoto - Hostel

Staff was nice

Not very clean

It's close to Kyoto Station which made me want to stay. I enjoyed the second floor where you get to socialize with other people from the hostel and the bar on the first floor during happy hour.

The staff was so friendly and helpful!

1) Cheap but equipped with necessary facilities include kitchen, laundry & etc. 2) We took a late night bus from tokyo to kyoto and unfortunately we didnt sleep well. We arrived at the guesthouse at 8am and we are allowed to check in early at no extra charges =) This is so great! We came across few hotels in Tokyo but no one of them allows early check-in. 3) We noticed there was difference in actual price compared to the one on booking.com. The staff are very friendly to explain in detail how the price being calculated and they even helped us to carry our luggage when we check in and check out! Appreciate that

K's House hostels are consistently excellent and this one is no exception. Considerable thought has gone into the design and fit out, the facilities are very good, and the hostel is efficiently run by friendly staff.

The washing machine is expensive at ¥500 per wash, presumably to cover the running costs of the dryers, which are free to use. To conserve energy it would be better to have to pay for the power hungry dryers. Better still would be to provide an area where washing could be left to dry naturally.
