Kyoto Hana Hostel had made our stay so memorable that we visited Kyoto for the second time this year in Autumn for our honeymoon and stayed with them for 9 days. 1 day in Osaka Hana Hostel, they latest sister hostel. Lovely lovely staffs as well!

It was a surprise trip from my hubby and we were welcome by Hana's staffs with a lovely wedding cake!! so lovely of them and I am deeply touch of their thoughtfulness.

They'll provide you a 5 stars service but u need only pay hostel price! What a bargain.
They will even help you with luggage to the 3rd floor by stairs if you need the help.

Ask them for the food map. LOL they introduce you to the best places eva...especially when you want to do it the local style.

Super clean hostel. Highly recommended for family, couples, and single travelers.

The bus stop is less than 10 steps away.
24 hours sukiya (gyudon) is also 10steps away.
Rent their bicycle, cheapest you will find in Kyoto. 500yen only!
and they have a Stamp rally....major discount and we save tons ;)

I will go back every year if I can~
See you soon Erika,Mana,Saori, Shin, Masae & Hideko at Osaka Hana Hostel. Miss you guys so much already~

For it's wonderful location, extremely clean facilities, friendly staff and very reasonable price, this has to be the best hostel experience i ever had! Maybe an even better choice than hotel.

Conveniently located just 5 mins walk from JR Kyoto Station, you know you are on the right way once you see Lawson along Shichijo-dori. It is not located along the main street, but still safe even if you are travelling alone. Easy access to food, convenient stores and of course, to the rail and buses. You can just walk over to Higashihonganji temple too!

The friendly staff at the reception speaks good English so no worries about communication. If you wanna visit Kyoto by bus, you can get the Kyoto City Bus One-Day Pass at the reception. Although i opted for dormitory, there is a curtain for you to close up so you can still enjoy some privacy at your bed space. There is also a wooden rack to put some stuff, hangers, bedlight and two power sockets for each and every bed. Everything here is really EXTREMELY clean! The shared shower rooom, toilet and lavatory are all very well maintained so you feel comfortable using them. There is also a Living/Dining area and kitchen which is available for use by all. I saw that there are some free beverages so you can help yourselves to those too.

To add on for being reasonably priced, I even got a discount for staying in its same chain over in Osaka for n-th night!

My husband and I stayed in the twin ensuite with toilet, Japanese style room for 5 nights. It is about 8min walk from the Kyoto station. It is very clean and the staff are very friendly. This hostel even provides shower foam and shampoo. There is also a hair dryer in the room. So I should say it is value for money. There is also a kitchen where you can cook. The cons are that we had to climb to the 3rd storey when we needed to get back to our room and every morning about 5 plus, we could hear the temple nearby sounding its gong.
