This hostel is the best ive ever stayed at! Its clean, comfortable, and quiet. The shared workspace on the main floor is great. We feel very comfortable here. Our room was clean and comfortable. There are shared bathrooms and showers. Staff at the front desk were helpful and kind, making us feel right at home. Great location, close to nice coffee shops and the river trail.

If we return to kyoto, we will most certainly return. We spent a few days at the unknown kiyoda and felt quite at ease! The location is excellent, its close to konbinis and quaint, wellknown sento. The room was excellent it had shabby yet comfortable vibes. Excellent advice from the staff members was provided by them, especially maru, who is incredibly kind.

Its a hidden gem. The curry is made of coconut, which reminds me of home in south india. It had many flavors. Must try it if you are close to the location.

The restaurant adds color to the onceshady side of town. The carefully and reasonably priced menu enhances the cozy atmosphere that is created. If youre in the neighborhood, id suggest trying the lunch menu! Tom.

The service was excellent and supportive. We only stayed for one night and had a great time. The host assisted us in removing our luggage even though they didnt have my phone number but still tried to get in touch with us via email. Strongly advised.
