Hostel holiday rentals in Kyoto

This place is just perfect for a trip away from Kyoto! The hostel is so tidy and clean and comfy. We received an immediate message upon booking to confirm our plans with check-in details. The staff were very sweet, helpful, and friendly and this was an excellent location in a quieter part of the city – across the river and away from the crowds and perfect to still get to be in Arashiyama. The hostel is walkable to the onsen and provides a couple for a discount for entry!

Was a great experience staying in a traditional guesthouse. The hosts were lovely, cafe was great, and our room was clean, tidy and full of character. Shared facilities (kitchen, toilets, showers) were all very basic and old but were clean enough and did the job. Definitely worth the compromise to experience staying a few nights in a traditional Japanese room! We arrived 15 mins early and were told we had to wait to check-in. Not a major issue as we just sat in the cafe and had a coffee but seemed a little unnecessary as the room was clearly ready (and we were clearly exhausted!) Thanks Team Gojo!

Had a lovely stay! Very friendly, easy and quick communication. Thank you very much!

Great value for money, I had a great time in Kyoto for three days.

This is a hostel but not like any hostel in USA. So clean, private, safe, and comfortable. Wang greeted us and made wonderful recommendations so we went to he Monkey Park (WOW) amazing views in their habitat and views, then Hot Springs and Bamboo forest all within walking distance. Ate and drank and local places recommended that we would never have found. Next day - took Uber to Golden Temple. Such a short stay but did so much. Thank you Mulan and Wang! Highly recommend.

It is very clean and comfortable, especially the shower room and bathroom are very clean, the surrounding transportation is also relatively convenient, the front desk staff is super cute and enthusiastic, I like ~

This was an amazing stay! The room and entire hostel is very comfortable, clean, and artistically decorated. They have great amenities like a full kitchen, laundry, and even a workspace/library. The location is away from the most touristy attractions in Kyoto, but we never had a problem getting to where we want. There are plenty of public transportation options near the hostel. Yusuke also provides maps and guides to help with getting around and gives recommendations within the neighborhood to explore a more local Kyoto. Overall, would definitely recommend Yusuke’s place.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Self check in was super easy and convenient, hosts were very friendly, amenities were exactly as described. The bathroom showers could use a little more cleaning but overall pretty clean! Rooms were very clean.

This accommodation is very clean and located near to public transportation. The host is very responsive and provides helpful information. Highly recommended!

The hostel was very clean and quiet. We appreciated the amenities provided and the overall experience.

Lovely lovely host and family! Very very welcoming and helpful. Room is very clean and comfortable. Million praises, no complaints! Definitely come again!

We had a great stay at Unknown Kyoto. It was in a great location for all of our planned activities. The staff was very friendly and our room was just what we needed.

My favorite stay in Japan so far. Real traditional sleeping in a gorgeous guesthouse. The communal areas are very cozy, and surrounding area is very walkable! Absolutely recommend!

The room was very large and very comfy. We had a problem with our key but the host was very reactive and instantanly respond to our question. There's also a parking for the Airbnb. I definitely recommend the night here.

Great accommodation, large room, comfortable bed. Very clean, not far from a 7 eleven, and 10 minutes walk from tokyo station. Would recommend

Nice place with good amenities (in kitchen and shared bathroom). Beds are a little squeaky and the rooms are very bright.

Very convenient location near to Kyoto station and a short walk from the beautiful streets of Kyoto. Clean and exactly what we needed as a base for our time.

I think this is the best guesthouse in Kyoto.

The interior and facilities are very clean, the toilet and bathroom are separate but shared and very clean. If I have a chance, I might choose this place again.

Great place. The little booths are private and spacious. I enjoyed my stay a lot.

very quirky and lived in. host is very friendly and knowledge about the neighborhood

Stayed here for 4 nights in the female dormitory. I loved the place, surrounded by green fields, mountains and it was quiet and had a great weather to walk around. It was a bit far from the station (Omi-Maiko Station) like 15-20 minutes walk. There are not a lot to do around, but it was easy to take the train to Nara and Kyoto. I loved the hostel, it had everything I need. It has a restaurant in the first floor. They do sell snacks/food in the reception. I recommend staying here if you like the countryside vibes.

It’s a good place to live many days, if you want to stay with Kyoto, here is more quieter and easy going to walk the north of temples. And masa is very nice and friendly, if you have any questions.

I liked the most that it had individual heating. It was warm. Instead, it was dry, so body lotion and toner packs are essential! You changed the towels every day, so I slept with them spread out.👍 The check-in and messages were very friendly. I had a really good stay alone for a low price, so I definitely want to use it again next time: D
