    The hostel is conveniently located near transportation hubs, with bus stops and a subway station nearby. The staff are friendly and hold events for guests to participate in local cultural activities. The dorm-style rooms offer privacy with curtains. Clean sheets and comfortable mattresses are provided, along with the option to rent towels and borrow keys.

    Conveniently located near metro and train stations, making it easy to explore the city. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing us with maps and suggestions on where to go. The private Japanese-style room was clean and comfortable, allowing for a good night's sleep. The guesthouse was also situated near several convenience stores, which was convenient for picking up snacks and supplies.

    The showers had water-saving features, which meant the water only came out for a short period of time and the water pressure couldn't be adjusted. This was a bit inconvenient for showering.

    For the price, our stay at J-Hoppers Kyoto Guesthouse was excellent. The room was comfortable and had a cozy atmosphere. The location was perfect, just a few minutes from a subway station and within walking distance of Kyoto Station. The staff treated us with utmost kindness and were always ready to help.

    The breakfast selection could be improved with a wider variety of options.

    The staff at this guesthouse were extremely helpful and spoke English. The lobby had a wealth of information on things to do in the area. The location was convenient, just a 10-minute walk from the train and bus station.

    One drawback was the lack of an elevator, which was inconvenient if you were staying on the upper floors. Additionally, making your own bed was a bit of a hassle.

    The staff was incredibly helpful, offering to store my luggage upon request. The spacious kitchen and dormitory area were great for socializing. The location near the train station and with restaurants, shopping malls, and convenience stores nearby was convenient for exploring.

    There were a few negatives. The main door closing early caused us to miss our train, as no one informed us of the alternative way to open it.

    Hoppers in Kyoto was definitely worth the money. The room was spacious, clean, and the bed curtains provided a sense of privacy. The location was great with plenty of shops nearby. The staff went above and beyond to help us and were extremely friendly.

    This guesthouse is perfect for bigger groups of friends. The staff are helpful, especially Erika and another girl whose name I forgot. The kitchen is free to use, with complimentary tea and coffee. You can also watch TV and DVDs in the common area. The bathroom is top-notch, and there are individual stations near the beds to store your belongings. The sleeping area is spacious and clean. The bus stop to Kiyomizudera is just a few steps away, making it easy to explore other destinations. Additionally, it's conveniently located close to the subway station. Bike rental is also available, which is a bonus.

    Felt very welcome, no complaints whatsoever.

    The staff at this guesthouse is incredibly friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to make guests feel welcome and offer to store luggage upon request. The spacious kitchen and dormitory area provide ample space for guests to cook and socialize. Additionally, the guesthouse is conveniently located near transportation hubs and has restaurants and convenience stores nearby.

    The area surrounding the guesthouse lacks notable attractions or points of interest.

    I had a fantastic stay at this guesthouse! The location was superb, just a couple of minutes from a subway station and a short walk from the train station. It was also conveniently located near bus stops that connected to popular tourist destinations. The staff was super friendly and went the extra mile to make me feel welcome. The lounge upstairs was cozy and spacious, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The hotel was extremely clean, from the dorm rooms to the common bathrooms. the cleanliness, hotel facilities, transportation options, and staff were top-notch.

    Not obvious to find.

    The location was convenient, only a short walk from the train station and near a bus stop that takes you to the main tourist attractions. The staff was friendly and accommodating, even giving out free tickets to a festival. The bunk beds were clean and comfortable, with curtains for privacy. The common space was spacious, with a kitchen and social area for meeting other travelers.

    Sadly, the walls were thin and noise from other guests could be heard easily.
