    I don’t have much to say about what I don’t like as the property itself was pretty amazing; we only found that others staying at Q-beh were less respectful of quiet hours/being loud earlier morning and into the evening.

    I love that you're in the heart of Gion and there are so many shrines, popular streets and areas to explore. I also really enjoy staying in a single room with a tatami floor and a very comfortable futon and pillow. Facilities are very clean and instructions for everything are very clear. The staff are also great and very helpful if you need anything! Nice to have a communal kitchen as well.

    Dorm rooms' ventilation is just so so, hence they feel rather hot and stuffy. I asked for a bed far from the dorm entrance, and that turned out to be the right move, as the door (right on the main corridor) is the traditional wood-and-paper type that provides very little insulation from sound and light.

    Great ryokan style with the ease of a friendly hostel. Very clean all over. Spacious dorm alcoves. Staff friendly and professional. Great process, i.e. whatever came to my mind had already been solved by a tag placed right where my eyes would be looking for an answer. Located right in between Kiyomizu-dera and Gion's Yasaka shrine.

    There is very little privacy - you can hear other people easily, there was no extra bed space for the baby. The showers are only on the first floor - our room was on the second floor. It was very far from Arashiyama Bamboo Forest.

    It was close to some of touristic attractions and the stuff was friendly.

    Not many cooking tools and seasoning in the kitchen , didn’t see people cooking here. It was little bit expensive for the dorm.

    Clean and nice Japanese style hostel, few spaces for chill, sit down and eating. Super good location and quiet at night. Stayed in the dorm sometimes people in the room were noisy but most of the time it was ok.

    Mattresses could be a bit thicker since you are sleeping on the floor. Still they were confortable.

    The location is excellent - right in the middle of Gion. Easy to explore the area by foot. And not too far from bus stops that can take you into other areas of Kyoto. The rooms are lovely, with the Ryokan feeling, and employees were friendly and spoke English.

    Would've been great if conditioner was provided in the showers too!

    Fantastic, traditional styled stay in Gion. Was super easy for me to go anywhere in Kyoto. Facilities were clean, even in all the shared areas. The 'capsules' were bigger than expected - I had enough space to fit my luggage next to my bed. The futon-styled beds were comfortable too. Staff were all very helpful and friendly, and can speak excellent English. The other guests were quiet and respectful which was great too.
