It was very convient for transportation and walking and a stop away from main train station. It was quiet for the most part. Some of the tourists from abroad were rude, noisey and messy, yet the local people and staff were very kind and helpful. I got 2 extra nights as I was quite happy there. It’s also worth purchasing a breakfast ticket. Good location. Thank You for a nice stay.

Overall - good hotel for the price. The laundry room only had four machines and none of them did a sufficient job of drying the clothes, even after an extra 30 minutes of drying. We ended up hanging/draping our clean laundry around the room for a day to get them sufficiently dry.

Amazing stay, and with the price, nothing more could be left desired. The location is wonderful, there's a 7-Eleven right across the street for food if needed and its literally right next to Gojo Station which makes using the metro soo easy. The accommodations were perfectly adequate for what they were needed: resting and sleeping as we explored Kyoto. Will be back!!

My boyfriend and I stayed at Pocket for several days while visiting Kyoto. It is located in such a convenient area (walkable distance to Nishiki and transit). The property itself is clean and the staff are so friendly and helpful! It is definitely worth staying here for the price! The only complaint I have come from the other foreigners/tourists. Please be respectful of the space especially when maintaining cleanliness as this is a shared space. Otherwise, I’d definitely recommend Pocket hotel!

This is an excellent place to stay when on a budget. Central location made it easy to get to many tourist spots. The Breakfast which was included was at a restaurant next door which gave 3 breakfast platter options (with no substitutions). We stayed in a “family” room for 4 people with bunk beds and futon beds which were quite comfortable.

Budget accommodation option - toilets and shower rooms are communal, however the whole property is spotlessly clean so no problem. Breakfast vouchers are provided for Yayoiken restaurant, a few steps away - 3 delicious breakfast options. Location is very convenient, right next to subway entrance and one stop from Kyoto station. Overall our stay was very comfortable, this hotel offers incredible value for money!
