Good vibes at the moment when we arrived. Check in was a breeze, staff was super friendly, and the decor is modern and attractive - made me feel excited about staying there! I really loved staying at Piece Sanjo - the location is excellent, it had good restaurants, cafes, and shopping streets within walking distance. I'd definitely return.

Amazing place! In the quite location but close to all major temples and attractions of Kyoto, close to bus that gets you directly to Kyoto station. We had a beautiful room with private bath and you don’t get to see it on the pictures but it’s almost like private onsen, really cute and nice after entire day of walking. We would definitely stay there again if ever in Kyoto.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
