Pros:

Amazing stay. Right in the city center, close to a lively food area, and next to a beautiful river—perfect for relaxing and taking photos in the morning.

The staff are professional and very helpful. The hotel is clean, quiet, and well organized. No shoes allowed in the sleeping area, which I really like because it keeps everything fresh.

The capsule is very comfortable and well equipped. I especially like the adjustable light—soft and not too bright when you wake up. The fan adjusts automatically, so everyone stays comfortable.

The pantry has hot/cold water, and coffee/tea are okay. All basic items are provided: toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, earplugs, even earphones. Towels and slippers are replaced daily. Soap, shampoo, face wash, and lotion are available in the shared bathroom.

I would definitely come back if I visit Kyoto again.

Cons:

They also charge an extra Kyoto accommodation tax at check-in.

très bien
Pros:

Très propre, emplacement parfait — excellent rapport qualité-prix, c’est certain.

Cons:

Par contre, le check-out à 10 h est un peu tôt ; j’aurais préféré 11 h.

Great for short stay around the Pontocho/ Kyoto Downtown area. Recommended for solo travelers!
Pros:

This is value for money, at the center of downtown Kyoto/ Pontocho area. Good place to stay for solo travelers. Stayed at the all female capsule rooms at the ground floor. The common bathroom has a washing machine and there's also a small lounge area for eating. there's a tea and coffee machine for free for guests staying at the hostel. Location is so good.

Cons:

Check in time is a bit late at 5PM. Wish it was earlier but you can leave your luggage with the reception staff so you can explore the area before check-in.
