Excellent Hostel With Private Room Options
Posted 19 Jan 2020 on HotelsI really love this hostel and have stayed there 3 times over the years now. The location is very convenient since you can easily walk to Kyoto Station and there's also bus and other train stations even closer.
I especially like the private room options here which are perfect for solo or group traveling. The common space downstairs is nice too if you want to meet other travellers and the staff are great as well!
Overall, for the price and location, it's hard to beat and the private room options make it even better, especially if you want

Basic Hostel to sleep only
Posted 12 Apr 2019 on HotelsIt was a basic hostel to sleep, that’s all, don’t expect too much
Compared to other hostels I tried in Japan, their price doesn’t include:
- basic toiletries at all (you need to rent towels)
- lock/keys for your locker (you need to rent)
- ur bed prepared (u need to do your own layering of 2 sheets on top of mattress & below blanket)
Location good, near Gojo subway & you can walk 10 minutes to Kyoto station.
Cleanliness ok.
Communal room quite comfy, even got kitchen to use, coffee/tea/sugar available.
CREAKING SOUND
Bed frames are made of wooden materials
What I hated the most was every time I moved even the slightest, it creaked and creaked and creaked.
VERDICT
Won’t come back, with around the same amount or even slightly higher I l know I can get better overall somewhere else

Excellent pricing for a barebones hotel room
Posted 24 Feb 2018 on CheapTicketsLocated a short walk from the Gojo Subway Station, Shiori An is a very decent place to stay if all you need is a room for the night. No special amenities, no desk or chair in the room, and you have to lay the sheets out on the bed yourself. Staff is friendly, cleanliness throughout the establishment. Ample toilets, baths and showers, just not in your room! Excellent for the budget traveller.

Review
Posted 10 Jun 2016 on HotelsThis is a youth hostel. Good location, clear room, and friendly staff (available from 8:00am-10:pm). There is not any normal size desk and chair in room or public areas. My mother is old and is not used to the Japanese-style tatami. She has to stand while eating.
