I was initially hesitant about staying at Kyoto Utano Youth Hostel because of its distance from the city, but I'm so glad I didn’t cancel! There's a super convenient bus (#26) that goes directly from Kyoto Station to the hostel, which made traveling easy. My stay was incredibly pleasant. I loved how the lavatory is separated from the toilet – the lavatory is spacious, with a dry makeup area, and everything was spotless. The cleanliness extends throughout the entire hostel, including the toilets and bunk beds. I was lucky enough to get a lower bunk in the corner with a window – such a lovely surprise! The building is spacious, clean, and set in a peaceful natural environment. The layout is thoughtfully designed to accommodate guests smoothly without feeling crowded, even when fully booked. The public hot tub with all the provided amenities was such a relaxing touch! Plus, the meals available for purchase were fantastic and super convenient since the hostel is far from convenience stores. The staff were always friendly and eager to help, making me feel welcome as a tourist. This hostel exceeded my expectations with its excellent facilities, cleanliness, and overall atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyoto!

Kyoto Youth Hostel provided a pleasant stay with a welcoming atmosphere, but there are a few things to consider before booking. Location: The hostel is a bit far from the train station, requiring a 15-20 minute walk. While the walk is scenic and gives you a chance to explore the area, it may not be ideal for travelers with heavy luggage or tight schedules. However, once you’re there, it’s a peaceful and relaxing spot to unwind. Facilities: The facilities were great—clean rooms, comfortable beds, and cozy common areas. The Wi-Fi worked well, and having access to laundry facilities was super convenient for a longer stay. Staff: The staff were very friendly and helpful, offering tips on nearby attractions and making sure everything was taken care of during our stay. Atmosphere: The hostel has a welcoming and community-oriented vibe. It’s a great place to meet other travelers while also having enough privacy when needed. Overall, Kyoto Youth Hostel is a good choice if you don’t mind the walk from the station. The comfort, cleanliness, and friendly staff make up for the distance.

I’ll try to be as informative as possible, although, I only stayed there for one night. 1) Facilities: - Facilities are available as you need: public bath, bathroom, self-cooking area, and dining hall. They are all clean, and easy to use. - They will provide you with a bedsheet, blanket layer, and pillow sheet to set up your bed DIY. You’ll need to rent a yukata (¥200) and a towel (¥100). - Room was quite big with two wooden double deckers. There is also a locker (idk how to say the size, but you can hang your clothes, and keep your shoes inside). There is also a sofa and small table with four stools. Room flip-flop is also provided. - At the lobby, there are tables for you to do any works. They even have board games for social activities. 2) Staff: - Staff is friendly, helpful, and resourceful. They are able to speak a good English. 3) Food: - You can opt for dinner and breakfast, depending on their menu of that day. Dinner was okay, I cannot complain. But I love the breakfast options.

Facilities were very clean, cozy, and simple design, perfect for a hostel-type stay. Breakfast service was convenient, simple, and tasty. The inside garden, hammocks, and location were great, further from Kyoto centre, but in a picturesque area and close to Ninnaji, Arashiyama, Ryoanji and Kinkakuji. However, it gets really silent after 10 pm, so it is perfect for those who want to relax and sleep, perfect for single travelers for short stays. Staff was friendly, you can also buy Kyoto day bus/metro pass from the reception.

A wonderful stay! The rooms were clean and tidy, the hostel itself felt like a retreat located outside of the main area of Kyoto, which was a lovely experience, just be prepared for the travel back into the central part of the city. Which is so easy because it’s located by a bus stop! Staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast is an extra ¥800 was lovely such a great variety of food and filling. Room gives you a locker which is great, drying racks and curtain on bed for privacy.
