Very central location. The staff is super helpful! If you like to have the option to socialize in the lobby area, this is a great place to stay. Make plans with randoms and do all sort of weird stuff. I will definitely recommend this place, and will be back if Im in Kyoto again.

Really enjoyed my time as a solo traveler many people here were very social and I ended up making so many friends even thought I was only there for two days. The bed was comfortable and for a capsule hotel it was great !

It is the most conviniently placed hostel so close to shopping and other facilities, can be very social during beer hour but quiet in the rooms in your looking for solitude. The staff were super helpful and helped me deliver my luggage to the next hotel as well. 10/10 stay. Would stay again :)

Truly fun and comfortable place to stay in Kyoto! Appreciated the quiet hours, comfortable capsule beds, and clean environment in all spaces. The lounge area was a great place to gather before and after each day and enjoy some downtime and food. Really appreciated the self-service kitchen area. Staff was friendly and helpful!

Solo Traveler Perfection.
Perfect for solo travelers coming to Kyoto. Great location, great accommodation. Occasional noise from folks getting in late, but that’s to be expected. Easy access, clean showers, nice coworking space in the lobby.
