Hostel Ebi

The hostel host (Jiwon) is extremely friendly and warm. He is genuinely interested in getting to know the guests. The hostel is located perfectly in the heart of Kyoto, with attractions within walking distance and plenty of public transport nearby.

It can be quite easy to hear people moving about in the shared room. Just keep it in mind if you are a sensitive sleeper.

A really cosy place, the owner is very kind and helpful. You have to leave your shoes in the designated area and there are many slippers for you to use. Hostel also provides cosmetics. You can meet a lot of people in the common room. There is a place to do your laundry, if you so desire, and the common kitchen with refrigerator is also avalible. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Great location, 6 minute walk to the main lines and a few blocks away from the market!

Everything was great, no complaints!

Great location. I loved the hostel deco. Being on the small side is a plus for me, gave it a cosy feel and easier to socialise, the female dorm room didn't feel cramped. Everything was clean and the beds were comfy. The hostel owner is super friendly and gave me info about the upcoming festival.

I found it strange walking through the mixed dorm to get to the female one. The aircon was pretty noisy, but I guess it is necessary to have it on high during summer to keep room temps low. However, as I was closest to it and being a light sleeper I needed earplugs to sleep.
