TSUKIMI HOTEL

Great staff and plenty of nice places to hang out, especially on the roof. I was able to meet a lot of cool people here which made the stay considerably more enjoyable. Bed was nice and comfy with a safe in the actual sleeping area as well as good lockers just outside. I did laundry while I was here and the price to use the machines was quite reasonable compared to a laundromat. The location is great for nighttime rambles in Kyoto's lantern-lit streets. It was the full moon when I arrived and I spent a lot of time on the roof so the hotel literally lived up to it's name.

A rare example of a hostel that knows what it needs to be. There is a well-oiled system in place that makes everything function smoothly and simplifies your life. The beds were amazing due to their privacy and comfort. The lockers outside the room kept everything quiet. The staff were lovely, we shared many warming chats. Fresh towels were provided every day, and the complimentary coffee was delicious. It also helps that Kyoto is such a magical city.

Highly recommend for solo female travelers! I stayed on the female-only floor and appreciated the quality of the capsule. The capsule felt spacious and comfortable with enough room to lounge and sleep well. I will note that the ventilation could be improved as by the 3rd night, I was experiencing a sense of stuffiness and noticed a building up of dust along my headboard, though the fan was on 24/7. Though in comparison to my overall positive experience, this is a slight issue, one that was fixed with a nasal allergy spray. The location was also convenient, safe, and quiet despite it being near to Gion! Highly recommend.

The staff are extremely friendly, even hanging and talking with you when they are free and if you are up for a chat! Despite being a hostel, being inside each capsule is surprisingly quiet and there is a ventilation setting that you can turn on if you want. Toilets and showers were never a problem as there multiple on each floor. The luggage and locker area is on the outside and so no noise wakes up any sleeping guests. I think there appears to be sound dampeners set up because it really was surprisingly quiet to sleep. Location is also great.

I loved this place! The staff are wonderful people - friendly and helpful. They genuinely enjoy working there and they like each other. And this attitude has a huge impact on staying there. They have created a great community where it is comfortable to hang out. I became injured while there and they were super supportive; they found me a clinic to go to, offered me ice for the injury and inquired each day about how I was doing. Great location - many places a short walk away and tons of buses nearby.
