4-day stay
Stayed for a few nights, coming back late at night and leaving early in the mornings. The private room was clean and the shared areas and bathrooms were also clean. I did wish the private room had a lockable door, but lockers are provided for free. The hostel was nice and quiet at night and I didn't wake to loud noise while sleeping. Necessities for shower are provided and towels can be rented cheaply if desired. I did wish the water got a little bit hotter, but it was warm and the pressure was good. Breakfast was provided, and although we didn't partake as we left early each day, it looked very delicious and made with care. There were many options available. The dog is very cute and friendly, always greeting us upon arrival back to the place. The location is really great, not far from two of the station exits (one has an elevator, and it is a minute or two longer from that exit to the place, but totally convenient when you have bags). There is a lot of temples and other historical places nearby, so it's a great location for sightseeing. There is also plenty of food options nearby and a convenience store right across the street.

This is what an experience is all about... everyone at Ga-Jyun is a special person they make you feel like family and very special in your own being. From the morning laughs and conversations to the evening discussions everything was magical and special about this place. The location is amazing the accommodations are great and the people are the best... I highly reccomend this guesthouse to anyone who wants a true family feel experience in Kyoto.

The room was super super small and face to busy street . Quite noisy. No space for walk a little bit. However, the breakfast is very delicious.

Breakfast is worth the price of admission.
The breakfast is the best. Lots of fruit, home made miso soup, assortment of pastries, rice and veggies, and assortment of juices, coffee and tea. Don't miss out on the breakfast.

Fantastic local warmth
All the people in this hostel are so nice that you can enjoy a very very very good breakfast with many types of bread and handmade miso soup & rice. It has all the basic facilities for a typical hostel. I dont have much complaints except it may be quite noisy in the morning, as the owners need to wake up early to prepare breakfast and many fellow travellers wake up early too. But if you want to enjoy good breakfast it is something you cant avoid isn't it?

I usually don't write reviews. However, this place was excellent. The air conditioning worked well. The breakfast was great. There were plenty of choices of breakfast pastries and fruit. Wish this place was in every city.

Wonderful place to stay, highly recommended!! I stayed for 16 nights as a solo traveler in a private room (room 3) in the Annex building. The room was absolutely perfect--a bit bigger than it looked online, with a closet and a little table. I only used the bottom bed and it was perfectly comfortable for me. The staff kindly cleaned my room and provided fresh towels and sheets twice during my stay. There were two toilet rooms, one shower room, and a kitchen with a fridge and microwave in the Annex house for all the rooms to share. The house was always clean. The AC in my room worked very well. The breakfast is great and the staff are all so kind, helpful, and welcoming. The owner is especially very kind. Location is also perfect, you're just a one-two minute walk from Higashiyama subway station and a 12-15 minute walk from Sanjo Keihan station. Walking distance to many sights in Higashiyama. I greatly enjoyed spending evenings on the banks of the Kamogawa River or shopping downtown and then just walking back over the bridge from the city center to the guest house. Can't recommend this place enough. When I return to Kyoto one day I'll definitely stay again. Thank you!!!
