For the price, it gives you much more than you could ever expect.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, they kindly allowed me to practice my bad Japanese but they also spoke some English, so it was easy to communicate. As I was leaving they gave me a little origami pig as a good luck charm - very sweet. I was in a mixed shared room which was very clean and comfortable. The facilities were great, with showers, a laundry room and a private bathtub which you could rent for an additional ¥300. The hostel is conveniently located near to many shrines and temples, and there is a bike rental shop about five minutes down the road (cycling is a very good way to go for exploring Kyoto as it’s very flat and quite compact). Highly recommend!

Warm place to stay
Posted 6 May 2017
Pros: Stayed in the traditional tatami room, comfortable and clean. Wonderful 2nd floor rec-room/kitchenette. Balcony with view of 1 of the fire mountains.
Cons: The smell of the tatami was strong so had to keep the balcony door open.
Location: Easy access to all areas by bus (the main crossing for many bus lines is 2 min.), many restaurants around (including Indian).
The owner is such a sweet and helpful lady, and makes it easy for you to explore Kyoto. Breakfast area converts to a quiet restaurant, so enjoy a dinner here and try the shochu.

Great accomodation in Hyakumanben Cross
Posted 19 Mar 2017 on Wotif
Pros: Everything, better than any hotel/accomodation we ever stayed in.
Cons: All is perfect.
Location: Very centrally located and easy to catch nearby buses/trains which go to all the hot spots (Ginkakuji, etc).
Stayed for a week while attending a conference at Kyoto University, as it is strategically located at Hyakumanben Cross and 5 min walk away from Demachiyanagi Station (super convenient!) - many options for transportation around. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by beautiful smiles of the hosts. The place is super clean and well taken care off. There is a restaurant underneath and the food they serve is super delicious!! The people who runs the place treat their guests like family members, we felt very welcomed throughout our stay. We were clearly informed about the facilities around and modes of transportation to visit various places. Others guests were also very polite and considerate, as we managed to exchange daily pleasantries. We slept very well with minimal to negligible/nonexistent noise level. So many to describe but you have to come and stay here to experience is awesomeness of this place. Highly recommended to any travellers!

Comfortable bedding brought me good sleep at very cold snowing night. Public and room area is clean and tidy and free offer towel for taking bath. Location is convenient as bus stop is nearby. Staff is friendly especially the old lady. I will consider to stay again at this warm & convenient guesthouse next time I go to Kyoto.
