TSUKIMI HOTEL

THE BEST HOSTEL IN KYOTO! I spent my entire 5-night stay at Tsukimi and was so happy to have discovered this hostel. My experience was wonderful from start to finish, and the staff were all incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful. The facilities are excellent—clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable. The beds are clean and spacious, with personal lockers provided to keep your valuables safe. They also provide fresh face and bath towels every day. The toilet and shower facilities are spotless, and hair dryers are available for guests to use. Laundry services are also available at a very affordable price. The location is another big plus, as it’s close to several tourist spots and conveniently near bus stations. Overall, I would definitely stay here again when I return to Kyoto! 🌸

Had a great stay at Tsukimi. Was originally supposed to stay 4 nights, ended up staying a week. I got lucky too because it was slow, so the room was pretty empty which always helps. The facility is very clean and organized, they have enough showers per floor. The beds are very comfortable, and compared to other hostels I’ve stayed at the “capsules” block the noise pretty good. The common area is also very nice and spacey and the rooftop has amazing day and night views of the area and you can see Yasaka pagoda from there. The location is unbeatable, it’s in the heart of the Gion district. Walking distance to some of the main temples, streets, shops and restaurants in the area. And if you move in the Luup sometimes like me they have a station right on the entrance of the hotel which is very convenient. The main highlight was the staff. Everyone is very nice and very helpful. They are all very approachable and they acknowledge you when you are around. They have a great vibe between everyone which is contagious. Kohsuke, Yuri, Koya and the rest of the staff were all very welcoming and gave great recommendations. Anytime I come to Kyoto I’ll definitely be staying here!

Honestly staying at tsukimi hotel was the best choice we've made in our trip last September, the staff was very nice to us, the location was perfect, close to nice spots to visit, bus stops and metro stations. The beds were actually comfortable and the place is very clean, but let's not forget the rooftop where you have a table to sit and a very stunning view to look at, AND THE COFFEE IS FREE!!! We really spent a nice time there. And for the price it's the best option you could find in my opinion. Shout-out to Yuuri who taught me some japanese.

This was my second time staying at the Tsukimi Hotel. My first time in March was great, but this second time was terrible. The only positive aspects were the location and the rooftop terrace. The total price for three nights was almost 30% more expensive than for five nights in March. On top of that, I definitely felt less welcome overall. The staff were superficially nice, but they clearly had their favorites among the guests and forgot about everyone else within five minutes. Some didn't even say hello, greet you back or anything when they saw you. Nothing was really clean. There was short and long hair everywhere in the capsule and some stains on the bed, which I find really disgusting. In the shower, there were brown slimy stains on the floor and quite a bit of mold on the shower curtain. The sandals which you were forced to wear weren't even white anymore as they were a few months ago. In the bedroom itself, the heating was turned up to full blast, which made it much too hot, and even the slight ventilation in the capsule couldn't help. The door to the bedroom squeaked terribly every time someone opened it. Unfortunately, the other people in the bedroom had no respect for each other either. Until shortly after 3 a.m., people came and went without consideration, the worst being a group of guys who arrived shortly before 3 and then talked loudly to each other. The first guests started packing their bags in the room shortly before 5 a.m. The capsules are not at all soundproof so even with my earphones in I could barely sleep. Someone also took the sandals we have to wear in the morning? Like what? After deciding to leave the hostel after one night, I found a hotel with a private room and bathroom for less money. When I checked out early, the staff asked me why I was leaving, but said nothing after I explained and didn't even apologize. I came back a bit later to pick up my luggage and the same person asked me if I wanted to check in? Great staff, really. Location isn't everything and unfortunately, I can no longer recommend Tsukimi at all. My second time here will definitely be my last, and I'm shocked at how much a hostel can deteriorate within six months.

I can’t begin to explain how much I love this place. Very socialising hotspot which amazing staff who will cater to every one of your needs. The amenities are excellent and the beds are super comfortable. I couldn’t recommend it more and I hope to return on my next trip to Japan! Kohsuke is an amazing guy and the most accommodating person ever.

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

The hotel is aesthetic, welcoming & other guests are friendly. The locations perfect for walking to many spots! They even offered me crab soup when relaxing in the lounge. Thanks to Kohsuke and other hosts for being very kind and accommodating to my needs!

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!
