The hostel is very clean and well organized. The instructions for the self check-in were very easy to understand. The hostel is also on a traditional Japanese house, so it was amazing to have this experience!

I understand that the building is old, but they should improve the cleanliness of the facility, rooms, and walls. The heated table sheets had food stains everywhere, and the corners of the room were too dusty.

Very charming and helpful

Haruya Umekoji is so charming and authentic. Less than 10 minutes walk from the Umekoji station, and right next to the aquarium. The staff was very helpful and they even have bicycles you can rent out for the day (trust me, it’s the better way to get around Kyoto).

It’s great for travelers who are minimalist and enjoy efficiency but not recommend for anyone who needs extra care and more hospitality, or assistance.
