−The bedsheets gave me itches. Don't know what kind of product was used but too aggressive.

“I enjoyed it much and met some lovely people”
+Friendly environment, nice location in a bit of a calmer area. But still walking distance to some cool things to see like the bamboo forest
−Beds were a bit creaky making a lot of noises and moving easily

+It was a very clean hostel and nice quiet atmosphere
−I was late at checking out and the owner/staff member was unnecessarily rude about it. I thought checkout was an hour later than it actually was which was a mistake on my part. There's no staff on site so I couldn't notify anyone about it in the morning when I realised. I bumped into the owner when she was cleaning the bathroom after checkout time and even though I apologised, explained I thought checkout was an hour later and offered to pay a fee, she was still extremely rude. I ended up paying 2000 yen so I could check out an hour later. The owner made it clear to me I couldn't stay there even a minute longer past 11am and not use the shared facilities. I understand there's rules in place and admitted to the owner my mistake but the manner in which I was treated was completely unacceptable. I normally don't leave bad reviews but part of hospitality is to treat guests nicely, a learning point for the owners/staff.

“Great value, quiet neighborhood, close supermarket and bus stations”
+Staff were kind and informative. They told me where the supermarket and coin laundry is. The place was clean and AC in the room was cold. There is an outlet extension in the bunk, as well as a light and a basket for your belongings. There is a locker offered, please take care of your key. There are also basic condiments in the fridge. You might have to buy your own water but I have a strong stomach so I just drank from the kitchen tap, it's good. The shower is clean with body soap, shampoo, and conditioner offered. I will definitely stay again. I'm not sure what people are talking about regarding the road noise. Sure, you can hear it from the kitchen/common area but the rooms are far back enough that it is very quiet, the neighbors are quiet as well, I had no problems sleeping.
−None! The place and my stay was great!

−La chambre est très petite, pas d'emplacement pour les bagages. Une seule douche pour tout le monde donc il y a la queue. Des équipements qui font beaucoup de bruit (porte, casier, lit...), ce qui est très embêtant dans un dortoir, surtout lorsque certains se lèvent à 5h et mettent 2h à se préparer.

“Ce logement nous a permis de découvrir tranquillement l’ouest de Kyoto”
+Bien placé pour aller dans le quartier de la forêt de bambous Arashiyama
−Bâtiment un peu vieillissant et quartier pas très vivant

“嵐山に行かれる方におすすめです”
+嵐山を巡るのに好適な宿ですすぐ近くの広沢池はのどかな風景が残り、名店の澤乃屋で食事できました大覚寺まで散策。帰りは嵯峨豆腐森嘉から歩いて20分くらい近隣にシャトレーゼ、イカリストアがあって便利建物自体は古いですが、その分時期を選べばリーズナブルに泊まれますカーテンによる最低限のプラバシー確保は同種の宿と同じ 1Fにシャワー、トイレがあるので夜間は注意が必要です両者ともきれいに掃除されてます入り口のコミュニティースペースは広いので話しやすいかも
−嵐山方面へのアクセスはいいが市内中心部へのバスが2方向あってどちらがいいか結局分からずじまい四条河原町への決定版の案内があってもいいかも
