Stuff are so kind and willing to help.The location is good for subway and bus.I'll stay here again next time when visiting Kyoto though the space is so narrow in the room.
The staff is SUPER friendly, helpful and able to speak fluent English. She's proactive to introduce Kyoto (not only the hostel itself) to guests with clear guidance on the transportation or walking paths. The hostel is an over-100-year-old wooden house, near subway and bus stops. The dorm is relatively small but the private rooms are spacious. It'd still be nice to experience staying in the old Kyoto house.
The wooden old house means poor in the sound insulation. Though the staff has already reminded all guests before check-in, some were still inconsiderate. If you can sleep with the noise, then that's no problem to stay in the hostel. Also, you may not be able to use the kitchen facilities except the water boiler due to the concern of the load of electricity.
All in all, this is still a nice hostel in Kyoto. Worth to stay again next time!
Good location. Very nice staff. But the room may not be very comfortable.

The property does not look like that pictures on Expedia. The mats you sleep on on the floor are thin, other hostels i have been to have not been like this. The bathroom is outside but kept clean, down a VERY steep flight of stairs which was not great. The shower was clean. Breakfast included means rice porridge made in a crock pot situation left there all day to harden, cleaned out and then more is made. There is ZERO staff present if you have any problems. The ceiling has visible rain damage but it rained bad when we stayed and rain did not come inside. Also the door is a sliding door and it doesn’t fully shut, tiny crack so people can see inside. Wasn’t the worst but would not pay for it again.
Traditional japanese style room with matresses on the floor. Big room! Cool place, would go again!

Einfaches Zimmer, relativ sauber, in Ordnung.
Sehr einfach aber zweckmäßig, wir hätten auch relativ gut geschlafen wenn andere Hostelgäste nicht um 3 Uhr nachts eine lustige Gesprächsrunde eingeläutet hätten (durch die Papierwände hört man natürlich jeden Schritt und jedes Wort, was auch okay geht aber nicht um die Zeit). Zimmer war sauber, Dusche leider nicht, die Haare im Ablauf waren auch sicher nicht erst seit einem Tag dort. Mit dem kontaktlosen Check-hat alles prima geklappt, Handtücher waren leider erst etwas später verfügbar aber nicht dramatisch.
Small house East (best) side of Kyoto, it's is a small shopping street and I found the location excellent to go anywhere. Its an experience to stay in such building and also very good value for money. However, it come with the traditional houses' features including a complete lack of sound proofing. Bring hearplugs and stay quiet at night for the other guests. Was totally worth if for the price but set your expectations accordingly.
