Even though I haven't stayed at many hostels/guest houses i can say that this place is probably the best one around! The staff is super friendly and speak good english. They are able to help you with anything, what temples to go to, onsets, restaurants, events etc.. It's a good location with walking distance to the station. I didn't use... More

A pleasant place to sstay while visiting Kyoto. A few minute walk from the closest subway and 10 minute walk from Kyoto station. Kujo subway station 2 minutes away which places you in easy reach of most sightseeing locations, and Kyoto station has a convient bus route specifically designed for sightseeing to the most popular cultural spots.

If you are looking for a very affordable but pleasant way of touring Kyoto, J-Hoppers might be the guest house of your dreams.

Nice staff and clean hostal. The only problem, not hostal fault, it is that is a bit noisy due to the other guests.

Near the train station　and convenient to access. Staff are friendly and helpful. There was a party going on in the common area one of the nights and the atmosphere was very lively. The room and bathroom were very clean but a roach appeared in our room on the last day, the only bad surprise for our entire stay.

Well located close to the main train station. Rooms are basic but air-conditioned and very clean and the common room is excellent. Great service.

They would talk with us, answer our questions, and some staff members even threw a Wii Sports party one night for the staff and guests to get to know each other! The... More

Compared with my hotel in Tokyo, J-hoppers in Kyoto was not so good. The staff was nice but there were some weird things going on, for example next day at 7:00 a.m we had to take a train. The main door was closed, we couldn't open and no one was there. In the end after a while waiting, someone from... More

Only stayed for a night here, but it wasn't my first trip to Kyoto. First with the good: + The staff are fantastic!! I arrived on Friday morning & quickly realised I'd left my phone charger back home in Sydney. The staff gave me the locations of 3 nearby electronics shops that might be able to help me out. They...
