Hostels in Shiga Prefecture

"This is a great choice for a stay in Kyoto. My mother and I stayed for three nights and, especially for the price, it felt like excellent value. The location is very central, making it easy to get around and explore. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable, and everything was quiet and well-kept. The bathroom was clean and nicely designed, and the easy online check-in made arrival seamless. A small but appreciated touch was the complimentary coffee and light bites in the lobby after 2 PM. There were only two downsides. The Wi-Fi was inconsistent. Even with a private network per room, it was often too slow to stream Netflix or other video apps. The breakfast was also a bit overpriced for what was offered. We’d recommend skipping it and heading out to enjoy Kyoto’s incredible food scene instead. Overall, a really enjoyable stay. We’d happily return and would recommend it to others."

"Absolutely loved this hotel. This hotel gives traditional Japanese vibes. You take your shoes off and put them in lockers and walk around the hotel barefoot. Make sure to wear socks. They offer free socks, toothbrushes, etc and cups of tea. There are men and women onsens along with private onsens. We utilized the private onsens which were very nice and clean. Our room was amazing! There was a little room for the toilet and then across your hall was the sink and shower. Then there was another room for the bed which had a small couch and tv. Everything was very clean. It did not feel weird walking around in your socks the whole time. The staff was very nice. We were getting back late one night and had ordered UberEats but our food arrived before we reached the hotel. We told them our room number and to leave at the front desk. The front desk held our delivery and confirmed we were the right people picking up the food. The hotel is right next to a train stop which is one stop from the Kyoto line. I highly recommend this hotel and would 100% stay there again."

"This a fantastic hotel/ryokan hybrid with excellent staff, an amazing onsen and a kid friendly vibe. The breakfast buffet is a must and there is daily ice cream in the afternoon in their relaxation room. The location is great, walkable from the underground east exit of the Kyoto station. The hotel is no-shoes and they provide all guests with comfortable pjs to use in your room and around the hotel. They have coin laundry so don’t over pack. Believe the hype, or, better, keep this place a wonderful secret. Come prepared to embrace the Japanese culture of quiet, kindness and beauty."

"Not crazy about the breakfast "

"Perfect location with 7-11 just downstairs and connected to the hotel with malls and train station close by. Spacious room and great amenities. Highly recommended!!"

"All in all, excellent! Choice of Western style breakfast on 1st floor or Japanese on the 2nd. Good walking access to the palace park and the old market street and new shops."

"I like the location of the hotel, very close to public transportation. The breakfast spread could be improved, need more and better selection/choices."

"His place was amazing. Staff is very helpful. I’m raining days offer you and umbrella. I will. Definitely I went booked this hotel again."

"It’s very close to Kyoto station very nice"
