Hostel vacation rentals in Kyoto

We loved our stay in Kyoto. We were able to arrive early and had a warm welcome. We had a map of the neighborhood with the interesting activities to do as well as a map of public transportation. The neighborhood is super nice. The only "negative" point is that we had the room on the ground floor so we heard a lot of noise with the comings and goings of the different residents and the noise from the kitchen. Nonetheless, we will return without hesitation. Everyone is adorable!

We loved our stay here. The room was the most spacious on our trip to Japan. The cafe downstairs served great coffee, it’s nice to just get up in the morning and not have to walk anywhere for breakfast.!The place was perfectly clean, warm, and comfortable. Staff were great too. Highly recommend.

It's an amazing accommodation that's also very comfortable! You will learn more about the good restaurants (including bakeries) and also must-see/experience of the surrounding area during the onboarding session 😁 The wall and floor is a bit thin (which I heard is common in japanese style housing) so if you're a light sleeper, it might be an issue (but I sleep like a log so personally it didn't matter to me😬) There's also a shared space on the first floor (kitchen) and 3rd floor (kinda like a library? unfortunately I didn't get to spend time to look around when I stayed though) Thank you Nana, Yusuke, and everyone at the Expo Cottage & Hostel 😁

Great value for money, I had a great time in Kyoto for three days.

Yusuke, through the kindness of his welcome, the quality of his home and the richness of his neighborhood, transformed our stay in Kyoto! Thank you so much!

This is a hostel but not like any hostel in USA. So clean, private, safe, and comfortable. Wang greeted us and made wonderful recommendations so we went to he Monkey Park (WOW) amazing views in their habitat and views, then Hot Springs and Bamboo forest all within walking distance. Ate and drank and local places recommended that we would never have found. Next day - took Uber to Golden Temple. Such a short stay but did so much. Thank you Mulan and Wang! Highly recommend.

It is very clean and comfortable, especially the shower room and bathroom are very clean, the surrounding transportation is also relatively convenient, the front desk staff is super cute and enthusiastic, I like ~

Wonderful place to stay in Kyoto! The hosts made sure to provide us the warmest welcome by explaining us the area and giving us recommendations. Their kindness has been outstanding. The room is very private (you can lock the door) and beautiful! We loved the morning sun light and the warm colors of the room! We will recommend this place to everyone who wants to visit Kyoto!

Great accommodation, the host is very friendly, we’ll come back next time

The space was very clean and the location was so convenient! We were surprised that the beds were very comfortable. Very satisfied with our stay :)

Lovely lovely host and family! Very very welcoming and helpful. Room is very clean and comfortable. Million praises, no complaints! Definitely come again!

Great location, very clean, friendly staff, and nice to have your own private pod...would definitely stay again

If I go back to Kyoto I would stay there again. Beautiful building, with a very nice room. The bathrooms and toilets are very clean. The upstairs area is so cosy and warm you feel at home. It is really clean everywhere and simply beautiful

My favorite stay in Japan so far. Real traditional sleeping in a gorgeous guesthouse. The communal areas are very cozy, and surrounding area is very walkable! Absolutely recommend!

It was nice that it consisted of self check-in. I was able to leave my luggage before check-in time, so it was also good for sightseeing. The soundproofing was a little disappointing, but I was satisfied with the price, so I want to visit again next time I travel to Kyoto.

Large enough space for 10+ people. Good experience!

Pros: close to the station and bus stop, clean, felt like a dorm room,

I think this is the best guesthouse in Kyoto.

You’ll be gladly forced to walk a bit through the serene ancient alleys to Hostel Sui. GPS may pleasantly misguide you, but once you’re there, beside the wooden door, you’ll see a cafe table umbrella set up perfect for people, or dog watching, if any. Either way, it sets the tone for your arrival. If the host is not busy sprucing up the place, he will greet you like a lost long friend. After setting your shoes aside for complimentary slippers, he will give you a tour of the award-winning layout (seriously, it won an award for hostels). Eventually, you’ll be lead to your wooden cave, quaint enough to sit and slide in. If you’re scared of small spaces, I still think it’s spacious enough for you. For top bunkers, I believe you have a high ceiling. For lower bunks like myself, you’ll be given a special desk area. As a writer, it was a great surprise. Once you pack up your luggage and ready to tour, the main streets are a 5-10 minute walk. Overall, it was a peaceful stay.

Super friendly and welcoming host! The place was clean, comfortable, and just as described. Thank you for a great stay!

I liked the most that it had individual heating. It was warm. Instead, it was dry, so body lotion and toner packs are essential! You changed the towels every day, so I slept with them spread out.👍 The check-in and messages were very friendly. I had a really good stay alone for a low price, so I definitely want to use it again next time: D

The hostel is very neat and clean. Pods are spacious and good enough for one person. The staff were friendly. The location is very good. The shower will be closed for cleaning between 10AM to 3PM. I anyway used to have shower in the night. Overall , im happy with my stay.

I stayed one night here and it was exactly what I expected and the way it is described in the listing. I was happy w my stay. Most notable was the very kind, open, friendly, helpful staff. The evening and morning I was there, the vibe seemed very light and nice—guests and staff alike.

Really friendly host and comfy bed. Maybe bring earplugs though cause the beds make sound if you're below someone stirring around it's hard to sleep.Also some rude people banging on the stairs and playing their videos out loud but that's not the Airbnb fault. I just was too shy to tell them to be quiet haha
