Pros: Great location Clean bathrooms Clean rooms Free wi-fi everywhere Cons: Despite the signs telling people to be quiet, I found it noisy until quite late. The lounge on the fourth floor got noisy and the sound carried as the windows were open upstairs. Our window was closed and it was still possible to hear individual voices. Needed to use... More

I stayed 1 night at Khaosan with my girlfriend in a private room. There's not much to say about it really. It was an average hostel, like most others. Service was good. The room was clean and generally comfortable. I found that, despite all the opposing signage, the other guests were quite loud throughout the evening and night. A lot... More

I stayed in a 6 Bed Dorm - Mixed room on the 1st floor for 2 nights and have to say this was a superb stay. This guesthouse is located only 1 main block away from the main shopping strip and walking distance to Gion District. They provide fresh, crisp white linen for the bed and pillow. Each bed comes...

My friends and I stayed here in 4 beds privated room on April 14-16, 2013. Location is very good. We can walk to Teramachi dori shopping street (3 mins), Nishiki food market (5 mins), Gion District (15 mins) and Yasaka Shrine (20 mins). Room is small but clean. We can open 3 big laggages in room at the same time.... More

Everything was clean and they clean all the common areas daily. Huge place, well equipped kitchen. Lots of computers and a comfy lounge area, albeit one of the couches was a little lumpy. The only things that sucked were you had to sit on the tatami floor to use the computers (with a pillow), which was not comfortable for long... More

Um dos melhores albergues que fiquei em varias vezes que fui para kyoto. A localização é realmente perfeita, perto do Teramachi Market, ponto de onibus e estacào de trem. O que achei ruim os quartos sao muito pequenos. No albergue de Utano são bem melhores neste ponto. Os banheiros são limpos e organizados. Há elevadores para ir até os quartos.... More

This hostel is along streets with supermarkets, department stores, couple of blocks from Gion area. Though room was small, it is very clean, and fully functional. For those in budget, you can book single room, but capacity is for 2 person, since there is double bunkbed.

Thanks to the reviews on Trip Advisor, my four friends and I booked dormitory beds at this particular accommodation and it did not live up to its expectations due to the service provided by the staff working there and not because of one aspects, but many others. I could say that my experience was positive and recommended, though only because... More

Stay here for the location. Most or 80% for the attractions in Kyoto are either in the east or around kawaramachi. Weird that this hostel is named after the backpackers street in Bangkok. 1) The Hankyu Line is one to take for the trip to Arashiyama and it is connected to Osaka Umeda Station. Right at the doorsteps of Gion,... More
