I was a bit surprised that there was no desk or person to ask for help. There was a shower but no towels except hand towels in our room. Also, check in was until midnight but no showering after 2300? Seems odd. Most people would like a shower after they travel.
MRT or train is far from hostel so we took the bus. Problem is the bus stop changes. So we had to walk 2km to train station to go around kyoto. Option is to take uber if u have big luggage. Sometimes the shower area smells and isnt kept clean. Slow internet too... consolation is they have friendly staff who will recommend places to go. Pls read details about paying additonal tax charges when you book this!
There's no front desk or reception. Self check in. Share accomodation with a chinese family who do not speak english or japenese. Accomodation is fine and ok for price.
