Boasting a terrace and views of city, Guest House Hennka Kyoto is situated in Kyoto, 1.4 km from Sanjusangen-do Temple. Featuring a garden, the 2-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. We spent 7 nights at this guesthouse, and it was an important part of our wonderful experience in Kyoto. The couple that runs the guesthouse became friends with us. They fed us a delicious breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, and cabbage salad, which we enjoyed every morning. We had a great time talking with the wife (who can speak English conversationally) every morning, as well as the three other couples who came and went during our long stay. This guesthouse is definitely for people who enjoy the experience of meeting other travelers, want to learn about Japan from their hosts, are looking for a getaway from the big cities, and don't mind walking about 20 minutes to and 20 minutes from (uphill) the closest train station. It's not for people who want a reclusive getaway, don't like walking long distances, are looking for a normal hotel experience, or can't navigate steep stairsteps. This guesthouse allows you to live around the locals in a quiet, non-touristy neighborhood. Our twin room was very spacious compared to our budget hotel room in Tokyo, had a traditional feel to it, and was quite comfortable on hot days with the wall-mounted AC. Going to the bathroom or toilet room does involve walking a few steps out onto the balcony attached to your room, but with the house being high in the hills, it still feels reasonably private. This guest room is next to the one other guest room at this property, so you do need to be aware of noise levels. Below the guest rooms is a vacant art gallery space that serves as a large common area that's currently available to guests but may not always be if it's being used as a gallery. Attached to the gallery is a large patio with a view of Kyoto — a great place to sit in the morning or while eating dinner. If you're looking for a wonderful stay in Kyoto that's a little out of the ordinary, and you're an active traveler that wants to experience the non-touristy side of the city, this may be your place.

Situated in Kyoto and with Samurai Kembu Kyoto reachable within 400 metres, Ryokan Hostel Gion features a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is set 1.9 km from Kyoto International Manga Museum, 2.1 km from Kiyomizu-dera Temple and 2.2 km from Kyoto Shigaku Kaikan Conference Hall. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests.

The units at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. All rooms at Ryokan Hostel Gion have air conditioning and a safety deposit box. This hostel is one of the best I have ever stayed at! The beds were comfortable and quite private/spacious for a dorm room. The location was perfect for exploring Kyoto and all facilities were very clean. The staff were friendly, helpful, and could speak English well. The only downside I had was that I wish there was better ventilation in the rooms as it got quite smelly overnight with all the travellers, but that happens in all hostels!
