Kyoto Guesthouse HIVE

friendly staff and overall great spot, highly recommend

Great experience with no critique.

Devo ammettere che ero un po’ preoccupata per il dormitorio misto, ma non ho avuto problemi ed il locker incluso nella prenotazione è stato un benefit apprezzato. L’ostello è organizzato benissimo, i letti hanno un minimo di spazio di lato con un piccolo tavolino, quindi non ci si sente claustrofobici dentro. Camerata tranquilla e bagni puliti e sempre disponibili. La cucina al piano -2 è vivibile e mai affollata, c’è anche una zona tatami per il relax. Il deposito bagagli è molto c...

This is a strange hostel. Everything is super enclosed. I did a shared with 4 beds. The space was clean and nice. You couldn’t hear much going on outside which was also nice. But this was anti-friendly in approach. The dining facility was nice. It felt as if I was back in college a little bit with all the rules. But the value of money and the shower rooms were great so I enjoyed that!

Perfectly reasonable hostel well situated to explore Kyoto. I had a private room on the third floor, it was fine and people were quiet and respectful. It would’ve improved by a kettle in the room especially as the kitchen is in the basement. They do not provide towels even for private rooms which is a bit cheap. There were toilets and sinks on the third floor but you have to go to the basement to shower. Good laundry facilities and free detergent. Not a very social place, staff just ok

Great place - terrible pillows

The dorm is nice but this is not a social hostel at all ! no bar, no coffee machine, nothing. There wasn’t even any tissue in the bathroom, not a single cotton pad, nothing. I’ve stayed in other hostels for the same price, and they at least provided some basic bathroom products. if you simply looking for a quiet place to sleep, this hostel is the perfect option.

amazing hostel with affordable single rooms, amazing facilities especially the showers. great location to get to everywhere you need in kyoto. well worth the money just understand it's not the most social place in the world.

I enjoyed my stay here. The beds were quite spacious and comfortable, and the common areas and bathrooms were always clean. Short walk to Teramachi Shopping Street and Nishiki Market. The hostel itself seemed more like a shared hotel than a hostel, and felt isolating at times.

Hatte ein Einzelzimmer, das billiger war als die Betten im Dorm. Der Gemeinschaftsraum ist riesig und sehr schön, Küche hat alles! Viele duschen und Toiletten, hat sich fast nach Spa angefühlt. Menschen an Rezeption sehr cool! Waschen und trocknen sehr billig.

Best hostel I’ve been in, ever. First - reeally cheap. But what you get for the price, I have not gotten in places 5x more expensive. Very cool vibe. Calm, quiet, modern and clean dormitory spaces with lots of room to not feel cramped. Great facilities (excellent showers, toilets, laundry, …). I don’t use shared spaces but they looked great too (common room, lounge). Staff was nice as well. Easy check in and check out. Cannot recommend enough.

Rooms and beds were very comfortable. Overall super nice hostel. Only note is that the rooms are very hot - I was sweating all night. We adjusted the thermostat but I don’t think they worked.

I booked a single room but it got messed up so I had to stay in a shared room.

Just stayed here for a couple of nights in a private room with my friend. Beds were comfy and plenty big enough, light for each bed, curtains, usb and plug sockets right by the pillow. The common space is large with a bunch of different games (connect 4, catan etc…) and spacious kitchen. But the best part - the staff let me take one of the books that had been left behind on the little library shelf. Dream book! Thank you!!!!

Had a lovely stay here the facilities were great it was clean and in a good location. The receptionist Nao was very helpful if we had any questions

J’ai adoré le dortoir, il y a beaucoup d’espace et c’est bien organisé. J’ai extrêmement bien dormis pendant mes 4 nuits c’était super agréable! j’ai enlever un petit point pour l’emplacement et l’ambiance sinon kyoto top je recommande cette ville trop chou

While the price for a private room is unbeatable and there are a lot of cafes and conbinis around, I will say that the main point of improvement is the opening hours for the reception. I’m not asking for a 24/7 reception, but opening the reception until 10 AM is too late. I got left out of my room around 5 AM and had to wait outside with only my pajamas for 5 hours until it opened. I know it was my fault for leaving the key inside, but the hostel should think about these possibilities.

I cannot rate this hostel highly enough. The hostel was much better than and less expensive than the hostels that I had stayed at in Tokyo and Kawaguchiko before I arrived here. The hostel is centrally located in Kyoto, the place is clean and well organized, the bathrooms and other facilities are all good and my bedroom was very comfortable with a nice clean and soft bed. I have no complaints.

J’ai adoré mon séjour!! Lits confortables, espaces avec un petit bureau, les lumières automatiques et la propreté des lieux exemplaires. J’y suis restée 5 nuits et j’aurais pu rester plus longtemps sans problème!

Not the most social hostel but it was very clean, the staff was friendly and the location was great!
