What guests think

At Piece Hostel Sanjo, travelers praise the central, walkable location near markets and transit, very clean modern spaces, and outstanding shared lounges, kitchens, and bar, with friendly, helpful staff creating an easy base for exploring Kyoto.

Rooms are generally comfortable, though sizes vary from compact bunks to spacious privates, storage under beds helps, and noise from thin walls or late-night activity can affect light sleepers. Extras include a rooftop terrace and shared showers, while the two-building layout and on-site laundry cost or availability occasionally cause inconvenience. Reception hours are limited rather than 24/7, and late check-ins have caught some guests off guard. Expect a clean, sociable, centrally located hostel with great common areas and a few practical caveats.

Facilities

Spacious shared lounges and well-equipped kitchens, a rooftop terrace, shared showers, and an on-site bar/cafe (occasionally with live music) are repeatedly praised. The two-building layout and on-site laundry cost or limited capacity sometimes cause minor inconvenience.

Like the cafe/bar in the basement. The 2 buildings across the street from each other makes it a bit inconvenient, for instance, to get to the kitchen from hostel room if they are located in different buildings. Otherwise, clean, nice, comfortable.

Great location, just next to the Nishikyo market, plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes around. We had a room with a bunk bed - tiny, but enough if you just need a place to sleep. A bit disappointed as we booked the room with breakfast (via Hotels.com) and it turned out the hostel does not provide breakfasts. It has a wonderful roof terrace. Good value for money in general. I would recommend.

Overall would recommend. The beds allowed us to slide our luggage under which was nice to get a little more space. There are too lounges and they were both very spacious and clean. Great location. There is a sushi and omakase restaurant right next to it that I highly recommend. The drier for laundry was the most expensive of all the hotels we went to in Japan (100 yen for 10 min as opposed to 100 yen for 30 min).

We stayed 2 weeks in Japan and this was the nicest place we stayed in. The common areas where very comfortable and spacious, so if you're planning to hangout at the hotel a bit, it's a good choice. You can bring your own food and drinks too. The hotel also had showers in the common area, very clean, with a good area to dry your hair or put your make up on before leaving. We used it when the other person in our group was napping, so we didn't have to bother them with noise and such.

新しく、場所も良く、長期滞在にも向くホステル。東西２館あり、コミュニティスペース、キッチンが充実しているので、自分のパソコン広げてゆっくりできるのが良かったです。毎日新しいバスタオルとフェイスタオルが使えたのも◯。ドミトリーは二段ベッドですが、ハシゴではなくステップになっているので上段でも上がるのに問題ありませんでした。強いて言えば、地下鉄などの最寄り駅から多少歩くロケーションではありますが、もともとこのエリア自体が交通至便、どこへ行くにも便利なエリアですし、10分程度の京都町並みウォーキングも楽しめます。私自身、次回の京都滞在ではまた宿泊したいと思います。あと、ちなみにですが、当サイトでは夜12時までチェックインできるような表記でしたが、フロントの方いわく11時までが基本だそうですのでお気をつけください。

Our stay at Piece hostel was wonderful! The rooms were very comfortable and spacious, the staff was great and the location was right next to the market making for lots of dining options and things to do. The only thing I’d advise is to bring ear plugs- the walls are quite thin and with it being a hostel people are up all hours of the night being quite loud. Otherwise a perfect experience!
