Best Kyoto Hostels And Guesthouses

Kyoto is loaded with cheap, well-run hostels and guesthouses, making the city a natural choice for backpackers. Here’s a list of the best hostels and guesthouses in Kyoto, all of which I’ve personally inspected.

Len Kyoto Kawaramachi

(View on Agoda.com)
If you want to meet other travelers, this is the place for you. It’s a hip hostel/hotel with both private and dorm rooms and a lounge on the first floor where you’ll want to hang out. Every time we walk by this place, we just want to duck in and chill for a while.

K’s House Kyoto

(View on Agoda.com)
K’s House is a popular budget guesthouse/hotel near Kyoto Station. There are private and dorm rooms and a nice common area. There’s also a rooftop terrace and a bar. It’s a great place to meet people.

Gojo Guesthouse

(View on Agoda.com)
This old school guesthouse reminds us of the first place we stayed in Kyoto way back in ‘92. It’s friendly, funky and full-on Kyoto style. It’s a great place to meet other travelers.

Kyoto Utano Youth Hostel

(View on Agoda.com)
If you don’t mind being way up north (not far from Kinkaku-ji) and you want a real youth hostel experience, you’ll love Utano Youth Hostel. It’s the best youth hostel in the city and the prices are very reasonable.
