For what it is- dorm living, this place was great. We had a nice Japanese room all to ourselves, the bathrooms were nice, clean, and up to date, and we were able to do laundry. The staff was friendly and documentation was good. The neighborhood has great restaurants and Ginkakuji is close by and very nice. The bus station is also close by but I'm going with 4 stars because it's such a long bus ride from the station.

We spent two great nights in the Hostel Ginkakuji. The people there are really nice and there are a lot of travelers. They can also clearly help you to discover nice place in Kyoto. They don't provide toothbrushes and stuff like this so bring you own. We also had a hard time figuring out how the shower works there, but we didn't ask so that's on us.
The worst hostel we ever met during our 2 months trip in Japan. The staff is indifferen and always absent, you need to look for them all over the place and wait. The hostel indicates the hour od reception from 14 00 till 21 00 but there is NOBODY most of the time. The private rooms do not have any KEY. That means that when you make CHECK-IN and want to go out, you CAN NOT! Because it is not SAFE to leave the belongings in the room. We spoke to the staff if they could at least keep the luggage for one hour in their room, but they refused, saying that they do not want to be responsible for anything! Unbelievable. Conclusion: you need to bring your luggage with you or stay all the time in the room. SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE! The bed linen was not fresh, and we were obliged to sleep without undressing. The bathroom facilities and a toilet would need a good cleaning, too.
Nice environment and friendly staff. Would recommend travellers to stay in this place
Suitable for all kinds visitors. Very satisfied.
Great homey hostel, well equipped, clean and comfortable. The prices are really cheap while it's has really high standards. While it's not in the heart of the city it is still quite close. Recommended!
We have just completed a week stay at this hostel and had a great experience. The hostel is basic but has all the amenities that a traveler needs. The hosts are excellent and make every effort to make your stay in Kyoto a pleasant one. The hostel is not in the centre of the city but the bus service in Kyoto allows for easy access to anywhere in the city. Thanks again for your warmth and welcoming nature.
A bit run down and cold but really nice staff and good rooms! A cheap option.
