TSUKIMI HOTEL

Thank you so much for your services. I haven’t met such kind, helpful, and friendly staff in a long time. Everything was perfectly clean — the showers and all the bathroom facilities were in perfect condition. The chill zone was also great, and all the services were very high-quality, some even beyond my expectations. Once again — thank you. And when I come back to Kyoto in the future, I will definitely stay with you again. Otsukaresama 🙏🏻

I’ve been to this hostel for 4 night a and it was the best hotel during my trip! the rooms were very clean, they give you new towel every day and also a toothbrush, earplugs and a comb. the powder room was spacious and well kept with large mirrors. they have a bar in the ground floor with coffee and tea for free and a terrace on the last floor where you can enjoy dinner and a sunset. location is perfect! staff is friendly I can’t say one bad thing about this hostel

At first I was attracted by the design style of this capsule hotel. I really like the minimalist and clean vibe. After checking in I found the whole place to be very youthful, and the staff spoke fluent English. I’m a bit introverted so I didn’t talk much, but everyone was really nice. >< The room, bathrooms, and dressing areas were all very clean, which really lifts your mood. The location is great too, right next to Yasaka Shrine and within walking distance to the bus stop. During my four-night stay it was quiet most of the time, except for one night when it was a bit noisy. The soundproofing isn’t perfect, but if you’re a good sleeper or bring earplugs it’s not a big issue. Overall, the value for money at this price is really excellent!👍👍👍

I don’t usually post reviews but this time I had to. Tsukimi Hotel is definitely the top on my list after staying here for 8 nights in September. Besides the prime location in Gion, this hotel offers coffee and tea for their guests all day. You are also free to use their lounge for the whole day even though they are operating a cafe. Furthermore, the toilets are clean, and you have an area to pack your luggage before you go into the sleeping area. This way, you wont disturb other guests while packing your luggage. Bonus points for their rooftop view - overseeing Kiyomizu temple, Hokanji temple and Kyoto Tower 😍 What really makes the difference is the hospitality I’ve received from the staff! Basically, they speak to you like you are their friend and it makes it so hard for me to leave this place after 8 nights.Yuri, Kohsuke, I miss u guys 😭 I will definitely be back!

There can be no overstating the intense locker room odor that permeates the sleeping area. The showers were filthy and slimy with these magnetic bars from which the shampoo, conditioner, and body soap were hanging from. This provided no stability and they were constantly sliding off the bar or bringing the bar crashing on the shower floor throughout the experience. “Room” safes were not working which is not good when all you have is a dysfunctional curtain to pull down. No paper towels to dry your hands after using the toilets and much means you are shaking them dry since you’ve already chucked your used towels into the wash bin. The entire time, I was never sure that any surface was clean or had ever been washed. There was never an attempt by staff to dissuade me otherwise.

🌟 5-star experience! The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming — truly a pleasure. The room was great, with a very comfortable bed and a spotless bathroom. Fresh towels were provided every day, which was such a nice touch. Free coffee in the morning was a lovely bonus — and surprisingly good! The hotel is perfectly located on a calm, beautiful street, just steps away from Kyoto's must-see neighborhoods, but without the crowds. Everything was perfect — I highly recommend this place. Such kind people, such a great stay. 😃

Very clean and staff are very hard working and attentive to make sure you have a comfortable stay. They are always available to assist and are constantly cleaning the hotel, they work really hard. It is a capsule hotel so there is some noise transfer between the capsules as would be expected, but they provide earplugs and overall we were able to get a good nights sleep. Capsules are pretty spacious where you can sit up and move around. Spacious common area downstairs. Very good value and in an amazing location in Kyoto. We stayed here for 4 nights and enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view from the top deck too!

Tsukimi Hotel was a nice hostel overall. First it's in a good location. It's on the east side of Kyoto close to a lot of attractions. It was an easy bus ride away from Kyoto Station. The rooms had cubby-style bunk beds that were very cozy to sleep in, with a nice privacy curtain that blocked out a lot of light. There were also lockers for safe storage of possessions, as well as a luggage storage area on the same floor as your bed. The rooftop was extremely nice. You have a fantastic view of the nearby shrines and pagodas, and the sunset view is phenomenal. The staff were very friendly. They always greeted me when I came in and when I left. It was a small detail but I really appreciated it. They advertise that they have a "cafe" but it's really just the employee working who will serve you a pastry or drink. They have a "bar" but I thought it was overpriced and not very good. If you want a drink, walk down the street to Lawson and get a beer for 1/3 the cost of what the hostel charges, then drink it on the rooftop while you watch the sunset. There is laundry but it's located on the roof. Not ideal if the weather isn't good. You also have to buy laundry detergent from the staff on the first floor. This isn't the hostel's fault, but this part of Kyoto gets really sleepy at night so there isn't much to do when the sun sets. I ended up going to bed early every night when I was staying here which was fine, but I don't think I would have enjoyed it for more than a few nights. Overall it's a good spot if you want to see the cultural sites of Kyoto. But if you stay more than 3 nights you will probably be bored unless you are trying to disconnect.

Perfect location to explore Kyoto, super comfortable capsule hotel! The best part was how minimal all the design inside the hotel and just super clean!
