Kyoto Hotel Tips by Pixiekatten

K's House is an excellent choice for a great stay in Kyoto. It's a busy hostel with service minded staff who's always willing to help. The rooms and all common areas are spacious and clean. It's a great place to meet other people travelling alone but the crowd is mixed and this is a good place for families, young folks, couples.. anyone really! :)

From the hostel there's a 10-15min walk to Gion and City Centre.
It's about a 10min walk to Kyoto station.
Buses stop 200m away.

Unique Qualities: * Great helpful and friendly english speaking staff!
* No curfew!
* Big common room and good kitchen!
* Fresh showers and bathrooms!
* Got bikes for hire and free maps!
* Internet access and will burn photos onto cd's cheap!
* TV corner and there's DVD's for hire at the front desk!
* Luggage storage if you arrive early or got hours to kill in Kyoto after checking out!
* Cosy outdoor terrace!

Uno House is a cheap place not too far away from the city centre. As long as you're not too fuzzy with cleanliness you should be alright. Shared toilets, tiny and japanese style only. Showers are ok. No access to kitchen.
