Santiago Guesthouse Kyoto

Social areas are very inviting, and nice cafe.

Je ne suis resté que deux jours dans cette hôtel mais si je devais revenir sur Kyoto je pense que je reprendrais le même! Points positifs: proche de beaucoup de lieux pour visiter, personnels serviables et accueillants, espace commun spacieux et propre, lieux silencieux Points négatifs: pas d’ascenseur pour monter vos bagages (mais le personnel vous propose de l’aide), forte odeur de chlore dans les douches (mais au moins c’est propre), lit un peu dur

水回りが清潔ではなかった。ベッドまで急な階段を荷物を持って登らなければならなかった。

1階が受け付けとフリースペース、2階がキッチン、冷蔵庫も2台あるイートスペースであり、フリースペースでもある。そしてシャワールームが6つ？と洗面台がこのフロアにはある。3階4階はベッドルームだけ。使い勝手は良いし特に不便を感じることはなかった。 2段ベッドのベッドルームは 標準的なもので、周りにノイズをたてる人がいたら かなり迷惑なのは仕方ないけど、私は三夜共 わりとすぐに眠りにつけました。

First, let me begin by saying that this is a guesthouse with shared living/sleeping areas (meaning shared showers, own bunk bed but in a shared room etc) so if you're looking for privacy don't book a hostel. There is no elevator so be prepared to carry your luggage up 3-4 flights of narrow stairs. There is a small locker provided where you can set your own code; it's only big enough to keep shoes and valuables in. It's a small sleeping area so getting into your luggage is a bit of a hassle.The outside area is a bit noisy since it's right beside the street, for those sleeping beside the window this might be a nuisance. If you're a side sleeper, the mattress was a little thin but this might just be common of hostels and possibly Japan. 1F common area is very open with a wide space to lay out and relax. 2F is where the kitchen, dining area, shower room, and sinks are so this floor can get a bit stuffy and hot. All this being said, this was the best time I've had in Kyoto, I've met many people and had many connections that I was a bit sad to leave. The staff is very helpful, I've accidentally reset my locker code multiple times and while not related to me I've witnessed them do their best to make the guests' stay more enjoyable. Thanks Santiago, hope to see you again!

ゲストハウスとしての機能、サービスは 充分であると思いました。 海外の若者がカスタマーの中心な感じですが、 邦人62歳男も満足できる施設だと思いました。 唯一の欠点 階段が急なことですかね！

My stay at Santiago Guest House Kyoto was even better than I expected. The location is perfect, and the dorm setup gives you enough privacy while still feeling cozy and social. The guest house has everything you might need — washing machines, a comfortable common area, and a lovely café. But what really made the experience special were the owners — incredibly friendly, welcoming, and kind. We even had an amazing karaoke night together and met wonderful people. The whole experience was just great — I would absolutely stay here again!

立地最高。 スタッフの方々も親切！ 一階のカフェは宿泊者割引もあるし、美味しい。

My stay at this hostel was acceptable. The lounge is very clean, spacious, and nice for hanging out and having something from 7-Eleven. There's a common area for eating and cooking that I didn't use. The staff is very friendly and answers all questions. When I arrived, there was a lovely party on the first floor with karaoke and a friendly crowd, which I enjoyed. There is no elevator. The rooms are mixed, and the wooden beds do not have a ceiling if you’re on the upper bunk—only left and right dividers and your curtain, so there isn’t complete privacy. The locker is small, so a 22-inch suitcase won’t fit; only smaller bags can be accommodated. I had to leave my luggage in my room in front of my bed. There’s another floor where you can leave larger luggage, but it’s not secure. The showers are fine, but you have to rent a towel for 200 yen. There are shared bathrooms on each floor for men and women. You have to put on your own sheets and pillowcases, and there’s no daily cleaning, even though I was told there would be. Just a block away is the bus station that takes you to Nishiki Market, and there are bars near the Kamo River and that shopping area. You can also walk to the wonderful and beautiful Kiyomizu-dera. Maybe, although I'm not sure, I would consider staying here again.

Not very practical if you have heavy luggage as there’s no lift and everything a bit separated by floors. Also wasn’t too pleased that my locker important things were removed from staff because it was in wrong number but then I wasn’t informed, so when i needed to check out it left me in a very panicked state. The all gender bathrooms are also a bit less than ideal as I wouldn’t want to be sharing shower rooms with guys. The good thing though is that it’s cheap , conveniently close to attractions and the actual room pod was surpringly spacious.

I regret spending money here and checked out after the first night (booked for two nights). The lobby was nice, the rest of the place was not. Everything was old and outdated, which is fine for the price, however the stench that pervaded the place is a sign of poor cleaning. The toilets wobbled when sat on, and started to flush from the wobbling. The showers were cracked and worn in places, although they did look clean. The bedding was clean. The bunk style beds had room to move around, but mine was crammed into a space so tight against a wall it was extremely difficult to get into. I’m not sure how that is legal, as in case of emergency there is zero chance you’re getting out of that bed fast enough to escape. To top it off, they expect you to strip your own bed? I did, because I’m not a savage, but it is absurd to ask guests to do work that the lodging is being paid to do, especially considering the condition of the place as described above. I will never stay there again and recommend no one else should until things change.

シャワールームの珪藻土マットはカビだらけ、室内は赤かびだらけ。 それを見た瞬間、寝るのもぞぞけがしました。

This property was perfect, the only issue is that there’s a lot of mold.

寝るスペースはこじんまりして可愛らしく、落ち着いて過ごすことができました:) 共用キッチンはあまり綺麗ではなかった

I got so many bug bites here and even saw a cockroach in the lobby.. some of the staff is rude and one was pretty creepy.. I wouldn’t want to stay here again

il avais tellement de moisiture au plafond et dans les climatiseur que je suis tomber malade 4 jours aprés mon séjour je le conseil pas pour eux avec des pathologie pulmonaire ou bien des gens imminosupprimer

あまり清潔ではない

FOR THIS PRICE - exceptional cleanliness and service. If i’m ever coming back to Kyoto, this is where imma stay (unless I go all out on a Ryokan).

Unfortunately the only good part of my stay was how comfortable the bed was, but it stops short after that. It's so extremely dirty that I barely wanted to touch anything in the place, the common areas are also extremely dirty so it's not an inviting place to relax.

You get what you paid for. Not sure what to expect. I stayed in many capsule hotels and guesthouses but this one is probably my least favorite. My bunk was next to the window (and i mean NEXT to the window), it’s basically my wall covered with a curtain. Very tight space to get into my bunk that they put me in. Since my bunk was next to the window, during daytime it is like a sauna in my bunk. Lucky it’s winter time so during nighttime it is actually cool and tolerable. There was a fan that i was using but somebody took it away or hid it. Dont know why as it’s not their bunk that is steaming hot. I cant say for other bunks but my mattress was so overused that there was no cushion or padding at all. I can feel my body touching the bunk board. I better off sleeping on the ground. It really aches my body. Pillow wasn’t the best, was hard and felt like sleeping on a beanbag but worst. Single toilets are shared between floors. Common area was okay, have a fridge but its always full with other people’s stuff so i recommend just buy a bento from a konbini. Microwave, electric tea kettle and single stove burner is available. Shower is good, multiple single showers for privacy. Check-in was horrible, no one was there. Waited for 3 hours just to have someone to show up for work and then again the person look like any other guests who is staying at the guesthouse so i cant even tell. Didn’t even acknowledge my existence even though. Guesthouse is on busy and main traffic so it is noisy.

The beds in this capsule hotel are really big and comfy. The only thing that I would recommend to them is the provision of wet sanitizing tissue to clean the toilet sitting before use. It is a public restroom so sanitation must be a priority. Apart from that I will recommend it to friends and travellers on the go.

寝室のところが少し暑く感じる時がありましたが、その他は過ごしやすく良かったです

Beds are terrible. Entire second floor smells like BO. It’s worth it for a day or 2 if you are trying to save money and make friends. But the beds and smells are just too much at some point. A lot of younger people to meet -best part. But quite uncomfortable after two nights.

臭かった 騒ぐ人がいた

個室スペースが確保されていたのは良かったが、音は本当にうるさかった。シャワーも使え、トイレは新しくはなかったが、ウォシュレットがあって助かった。冷蔵庫もあって便利。wi-fiも使える。鍵付きロッカーもあります。昼間混む清水寺や産寧坂に近いので、朝のうちに行けます。

Everyone is helpful

9時以降にチェックインした場合、セルフチェックインになるのだが、 タオルの支給がどういう風なシステムになってるかわからなく シャワー浴びた後 タオルがなかったのですごい不便でした。 相談できる人もいなかったので自分で解決するしかありませんでした。 ここにあればタオルありますよって言うことがあったのかもしれませんが、ちょっとわからなかったのでそこは非常に不便だと思いました。

Common area on 2f smells of stale body odour. Male staff came into the "women only" bedroom at 7pm (a time that I don't think staff should be in bedrooms..) to close the curtains?? Surely us women are capable of moving some fabric? What made this worse was that the curtain was right next to my bed, where I get dressed. I didn't appreciate an unexpected man reaching round the side of my bed to close the curtain.

チェックイン係が日本語通じない時があって、いくらインバウンド向けとはいえ、それは日本の宿としてどうなのかと思った。 あと預けた荷物の管理体制に不安が残った。 そもそも預けた時になまえを聞かれなかった。 下駄箱があったので靴を脱がないといけないタイプのドミトリーかと思ったらそうでもないのか、よくわからなかった。

I got so many bug bites here and even saw a cockroach in the lobby.. some of the staff is rude and one was pretty creepy.. I wouldn’t want to stay here again

Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Situated in an ideal location near many famous tourist spots. Just a bit too hot temperature in the rooms but otherwise, A grade for the low costs.

スタッフもフレンドリーで、 そう音出せる区間と睡眠の空間が完全に仕切られているのでゆっくりと過ごすことができました。 これはホテルとして改善の方法があまりないかと思いますが、 メインのところに接しているため 車の音や暴走族の音など夜も結構うるさかったです。 耳栓をして寝れば特に問題はないかと思います。

Very nice. The kitchen is also available, making it suitable for long-term stays. The location is a bit inconvenient as it is outside the central area, but once you get used to it, it’s not a problem. There are no supermarkets nearby. A public bath is about a 10-minute walk away, so those who enjoy Japanese communal baths can experience a local atmosphere. I will use it again. There are many men and women from overseas. It is clean and feels safe.

バスの本数も多くアクセスは良しです。清水寺の麓(最寄り停留所)ですが、人手の少ない早朝の拝観をお勧めします。

Close to sightseeing attractions.

El lugar es de lo más genial, sobretodo si viajas solo. A parte que estaba cerca de templos y Santuarios

周りに飲食店が少ない

場所は分かりやすく、清水寺の近くの道路沿いで、バス停もすぐでした。 道路沿いなので、音は21時くらいまではそれなりにありましたが、二重窓なのでそこまで気になりませんでした。宿泊はほとんどロングステイの外国人なので、それなりに物使いの雑さは感じますが、料金と場所で文句なしです。外国でロングステイしている感じですか‥
