I injured my foot the day our group (4 20-24 yr olds) arrived in Kyoto. My friends and I decided to go back to K's to try and find a hospital from there. The helpful staff found us a clinic which, from what we understood, had employees who spoke English. So we took a cab there on our own, only... More

K's House in Kyoto was a nice stay. Our room was clean with a damp moth-like smell. We were given a room with a bunk bed set as the others were booked. Bathrooms were clean and when I used them there was no more than 1 or 2 other people in at a time. The staff was warm and helpful.... More

K's House is a great option when travelling on a budget. It is a short walk from the station, and the staff are friendly, english speaking and very helpful. We stayed in the mixed 4 bed dorm, and it was clean and bigger than an average dorm room. Bathrooms are communal, but showers are private and can be locked. Bikes... More

K's house is international traveller friendly. It's a great option for those of us used to hostelling without struggling with Japanese. This means its chain of accommodation opens up easy accommodation in Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo, Takayama etc. As is with most things Japanese, you can expect high quality service, cleanliness and amentities here. Like most hostels, it provides only the... More

I love staying at the K's brand when travelling Japan because they offer cleanliness, good service and a modern backpacker feel. Good location with friendly staff members who speak English and go out of their way to get you to experience real Japan. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with clean bathrooms and good prices. Free WiFi and a cool... More

Stayed for 3 nights. The service is super friendly, the rooms are clean and comfy, great shower facilities and a nice bar next door. I stayed at more expensive 'business hotels' for 4 times the cost during my trip and I was really happy to return to K's - which says it all really.

About 10 mins walk from the JR Kyoto Station, it's not hard to find the K's house signboard with that striking yellow that is distinctive enough to be noticed from the rows of houses. Service provided from the staff was excellent with some knowing how to speak fluent English. We booked a private room with 3 beds and we didn't... More

K's House is located a short walk from Kyoto Station (which is a destination in itself); it is very clean, with the communal bathrooms scrubbed a couple times a day. The second-floor lounge has a coin-op laundry, and you have to rent towels. I stayed solo in a bunk bed room, and it was quite comfy. The bar is lively... More

K's house is about a 7 minute walk from the JR Kyoto station, which is also where the main bus stations are. This was our second time staying at K's (both times we had private rooms). This time we had our 1 year old with us, and it was great - it was the most comfortable bed we had the... More
