Locate in front of Nishi Honganji, close to Kyoto station, No parking lot. No food provided. Facility is old, not very maintenanced. You can smoke balcony of hollway. Typical school trip hotel for kids. Price is resonable, I know much worth place but pricy. One thing, I loved this place is They let us walk in rooftop. Most of place lock the dorr for rooftop for secury and safety reason. Here, free to walk in. The view is great. Please enjoy Kyoto Tower light up and Dawn of Nishi-honganji.

Staying here for 2 nights. Unfortunately when the time we stay here, it was raining. And really found tired to walk from the ryokan to JR Kyoto station esp with small kid. Nothing to explore at night the surrounding here. Very quiet and little bit dark but do feel safe walking in out around. There is a family mart (forget is it call family Mart) nearby. That is once out ryokan, turn left and walk straight to the end and cross the road (traffic light) to opposite right side. Coin laundry shop <for washing 300 or 400yen, can't remember and dryer machine 100 yen for 15mins which I think at least 300 or 400 yen to really get the clothing dry> was also at end turn left , yellow color shop. Opp the coin laundry was a capsule hotel or Inn. Cannot see the exact name from opp as raining n dark. The room was not really big but still ok coz I think the hotel or guesthouse here all are mostly smaller side. But the bathroom was really too small. We book Japanese style triple room which have own bathroom. Just taken 1 pic only as a bit too tired after long walk with few heavy luggage. Need remember bring rain coat just in case for self walking traveler. But easy to buy one or umbrella at shop like family mart which around 500yen plus plus. Used taxi service to check in time and it costed 1000yen from Kyoto station to the Ryokan. We met an old uncle taxi driver and he was very friendly and nice. Just unable communicate as we don't speak Japanese and he don't understand any English at all. A must to learn simple Japanese words before come here.

“School Trip”

This hostel was very accommodating for our group. The 7 and 5 bed private rooms were big enough for 7 and 5 college-aged males to sleep in them. If you do not have a private bathroom in your room, the shower is the shower in the bathhouse. The robes for the bathhouse are free to rent. We were a… more

This hostel was very accommodating for our group. The 7 and 5 bed private rooms were big enough for 7 and 5 college-aged males to sleep in them. If you do not have a private bathroom in your room, the shower is the shower in the bathhouse. The robes for the bathhouse are free to rent. We were able to store our luggage in the front lobby area for most of the day. However, you should check with the front desk beforehand. Breakfast is not served there. The Kyoto train station is about a 10 minute walk from the Hostel (doable with luggage; great breakfast options at the station). Some rooms have a view, some do not. Overall, a good experience for a few nights.
