  Customer Review on 12 April 2010 

Very warm and friendly staff, always happy to share any piece of info they could provide you withMultilingual place, really nice especially for the cost paid one of the lowest found on internet. Don&'t expect a 4 star hotel but the facilities are clean and the location is almost perfect

I have been in numerous hostels around the world, india, china, cambodia, thailand. and I never had been in a hostel like this. It was the worst hostel I have been in my life. The toilet (only one) it was extremely very dirty, as properly as the horner Oliver was so antipatic, agresive, rude (no japanes). He sell courses in english but he is not a teacher. We stay 3 nigths at the firts but at the end we only stayed 2 nights. (we paid for 3 nights) the smell as properly as the rabish it was horrible. we are 8 persons with the same opinion. we prefered lose our money and go to search an other hostel. I allways book in this page but is my first time with bad experience. I hope hostelbookers check this hostel ahead of recomended.

READ THIS! the hostel itself is extremely nice. but it is extremely far from the center. the property owner named oliver thinks that when you check in you actully join to the army. he was extremely unpolite, aggressive greedy and talked to me and to the other travelers like we have to stay there. right after you checked out it is even worse. the joke of tonight you will sleep outside repeat to a lot of times. me and the other travelers had the same immpretion from this guy. nobody wanted to stay there but everywhere else was fully booked. i didnt feel welcomed there and i would deffently recommend you to locate a different spot to stay. every night ahead of i returned i thought how much i would prefer not to see the property owner again now. the girls that work there do their best to deal with the unexpected boss. usually i dont waste my time on feedbacks but this owner was the worst that i have met in all of my travels around the world! i felt like im being watched all the time. stay there only if you have no choice. again - the hostel itself is ok. be prepred to feel like an unwelcomed guest in a strangers home. it is not really a hostel -it is a home stay located in a nighbourhood far from the center. you will stay on the second floor of the house. immportent: he will want you to pay only in cash for all of your stay. if you will decide to move or to cancell a day later you can forget about your money and he will tell you what he thinks about you extremely aggressively. i think that the option of paying day by day is also not within the menu. do yourself a favoure a go to another place! appreciate your stay in kyoto!

Pro:Amazing movie collection. Con: The property owner is weird and irrational. Better not complain or make remarks or you will be threatened to be kicked out, regardless of having already payed for the entire stay. Web access is 400 yen/30 minute and you arent allowed to share the access. The showers are in the "kitchen" (microwave, fridge and sink), there is certainly no spot to put ones clothes in the cabin. There are no lockers.

Nothing! if you wish to go to the loo in a spot that stinks of and is covered in urine, you want the creepy owner to be your best friend one minute then your worst enemy the next and you appreciate spending 2 hours looking for a hostel becasue it is down an alley way and no one has ever heard of it, not even the large traveler info at the station! do not waste your money on this place! the owner is out to scam every single penny out of you that he can so just dont bother going there to givehim the chance!
