Khaosan Kyoto Guesthouse

The common spaces (kitchen and lounge) were very spacious and well equipped. Location is good because you are close to the areas to have dinner at night and you are a bus away (or a walk away) from many interesting sightseeing points.

The internet connection is bad and makes it very slow to download any normal website. The room was ok, not very big and a bit old fashioned, but comfortable still.

Overall Khaosan Kyoto is a good hostel with a nice location and comfy rooms. It's also clean

The showers are so cold, not the water but the bathrooms.

The location of the property was really the best thing about it. It’s near a major train line, Keihan and other subway stations. It was in a quiet area but if you just walk a little further you’re right smack in the middle of Kawaramachi near huge department stores, the kawaramachi shopping district and only 5 minutes away from Gion.

I just didn’t like having to pay for towels. I know it’s a hostel but for 11,000 yen per night you’d expect them to at least include that for free.
