Hostels in Shiga Prefecture

"Very close to everything. "

"What a cool place to stay! The robes, the breakfast, the extra snacks, the heated floors, and the beautiful onsen! We enjoyed our time here a lot and felt welcomed with our kids (1 and 5). "

"Room was very comfortable. Water pressure was fantastic. Slept well. Good central location. We walked to everything. Ended up walking to the main Kyoto station which is an aporoximate 25 minute walk by a cool temple. Found plenty of great food."

"Nice large rooms, good facilities in room, hotel overall didn’t have lots of additional facilities but what it had were good. "

"Fully booked and great value for the price charged. Not a 5 star hotel but for the price it is extremely great. Free breakfast and dinner has tiny portions but great flavours. Introduced me to my new favourite condiments. I am a healthy eater so salad and vegetables were all you can eat and pleantiful. The only thing I did not like was all vegetables were cold but I simply soaked them in hot water I. The bowl and drained it a few times. Seating is tight but works. If you are picky you will complain about something but the same can be said no matter where you stay. Our bathroom was a bit uriny smelling but the Japanese toilet seat was great. Rooms in Japan are tight and small and this is no exception. These Japanese rooms make cruise ship rooms feel big. Anyway I would recommend this place and would stay again"

"Booked this spot day before on a whim. Was nervous considering it was the cheapest spot we stayed at on our trip to Japan, but it was great! Wife is still raving about the onsen. They have a sauna, cold plunge and warm and hot tub in public bath. Breakfast was fantastic. Service, top notch. Being familiar with Kyoto I liked the location a lot. Quieter, but literally connected to the train station for easy access to Kyoto station and beyond. It’s not right in the action of Kyoto (Gion district area) though, probably 20-25 min train or 15 min taxi. "

"The rooms are not big but it's 2-3 minutes from the Kyoto station which is a big plus. Highly recommended if you want quick access to Kyoto station."

"Clean rooms and well maintained. There were free free refreshments and coffee in the lobby between 10 and 18. Had everything needed in the room. Laundry was not as clean as you would expect compared to the other areas and only 3 machines and expensive."

"Excellent hotel - location is ideal for exploring Kyoto. Breakfast buffet was good. Would stay here again!"
