The hostel is a 15 min walk from the main station. The double room was wonderful, well designed and equipped with a very high tech shower cabin. The only drawback was that we had time to stay only one night. The hostel would be great as a base camp making day-tours to nearby cities. We will be back!

Their website already gives out a lot of detailed information and the photos depict exactly what they have. The double bedroom I stayed in is an ensuite. Being compact, you can store your belongings beneath the tatami bed lids. It has a shower enclosure with a seat, four hydro massage body jets, hand held shower and rain shower head above.... More

If you want a cheap, clean, comfortable, well located and friendly accommodation in Kyoto, Capsule Ryokan is the place to stay at. We enjoyed the city and the hotel so much that we extended our stay there.

We stayed in the double room. Compact but well set up, with storage space to keep your stuff out of the way. Not really designed for sitting around in, but there are common areas for that. Well located in that it is near main station and bus; however, a little away from many of the major sights and the 'down-town'... More

We expected our room to be smaller than it was (we had a double room, not a capsule). The storage underneath the tatami platform helped to keep things from feeling too cluttered. The bathroom fixtures were all new and worked great, this room would be awkward to share for non-couples traveling together, as the shower is actually in the room,... More

Capsule Ryokan is very clean & comfortable, the staff were friendly & helpful. It is in a great location, close to the train station and some of the sights. Staying in the capsules was pleasant, except when other inconsiderate guests make lots of noise at 5am, otherwise great. Trying the kimonos was a lot of fun. I would definitely reccommend... More

I really enjoyed my stayed at the Capsule Ryokan. The location was great. The Kyoto station is just a 5-7 min walk. The bus stop is just around the corner. The room was just perfect and cozy. The staff was really great. We were caught in the middle of a Typhoon. Our train was delay and because of it we... More

We stayed in a ryokan style ensuite double room for two nights and were delighted with the standard of the accommodation and how helpful, friendly and attentive the staff were. Having free internet was an added bonus, as well as a good information pack in the rooms, a comfortable and spotlessly clean room and a great shower! The location couldn't... More

The small size of the room didn't bother us at all, it fits 2 people comfortably. Everything is really clean, and they even have really cool toilet and shower. :) But the thing that suprised us the most was a little guide book the staff had put together: it had EVERYTHING you need to know to have a great time...
