Guesthouse Hyakumanben Cross

Very clean room and facilities. Staff and owner are very friendly and helpful.

Quality of the guests.

Everything was nice, new and clean, beds were big and spacious!

It was a bit too hot in bathrooms

the Guesthouse is nestled in between multiple konbini stores and places to eat . the walk to the train station is a breeze , even in the summer heat . the staff is on-site 24/7 and you can reach out with any issues you may have . there’s even a nice playground nearby , if you like to loiter on swing sets like me . all the other guests were friendly as well

there’s a curfew from 00:00 - 06:00 , you cannot leave or come back between those sleeping hours — if you have any late night plans , you will have to find somewhere else to stay or hang out until morning light

The staff was very friendly and polite. The room was nice and clean. There were many restaurants were near the Inn. I really enjoyed my stay at Hyakumanben Cross.

Clean, friendly, quiet, but also near the street of food. Love everything here! Will definitely come back!

The cleanest hotel I've ever seen! So quiet and nice. Blankets are super comfortable, very soft and warm. Want to have the same to home. Be warned that it is impossible to get into hotel after midnight

very nice, cleane, calm place to stay plus i really liked the location it was a bit out of turist madness but also very easy to get to all places ypu need to. Its close by public train station and next to it is place where you can rent bike which i would recomend its also very close by the river so rent your bike and go to cycle along the river. I would defenetly come back.

The location is great. It is not in the center, but very close to Kyoto University and train station, as well as restaurants, convience stores and Kamo river. The host is very friendly also. There are lots of books at the shared place on the first floor, and fully equiped kitchen as well.

Bed is larger than a normal single bed.

The public kitchen is beside some rooms, we have some limits for not disturbing other costumers/voyagers.

Beautifully maintained guest house, confortable firm bunkbeds, nice common area, super nice host, convenient to bus and Keihan metro. Close to Kyoto University, quiet street but close to stores and restaurants.

(Continued negatives from below) You’re also locked out between midnight and 6am. We thought this was fine but we’re very glad we moved hotels because the second night we were meant to be staying there, we met new friends at a bar and stayed out until just before 1am. So we would have had to keep a close eye on the clock and cut our time short or would have been locked out until 6am. It seems like a good deal and reasonable restrictions but it’s really not worth it. Just pay a little more for literally anywhere else.

It started out great, with the place seeming nice and clean, but the first night we were there, we got zero sleep because the bunk beds were so noisy. They’re very cheap, poorly made bunk beds-they’re not bolted to the wall, so all four beds sway and creak SO loudly as soon as someone so much as rolls over. When someone is climbing up the ladder, the whole thing shakes and groans with wood on wood like there’s an earthquake. The dividers between the beds also don’t reach the top of the bunk, so the other person’s light shines over the top of the bunk if they’re awake late. The walls are also super thin, so you could hear people rummaging in their lockers in the dorm next door. The beds are also quite uncomfortable, with the mattresses so thin that you can feel the floor beneath them. We decided to check out after one night because the noise, even with earplugs, was unbearable. We booked somewhere else and advised them of such. At first they tried to tell us to talk to the other guests in the room about the noise and for us to ask others to be quiet. We advised that it’s unreasonable to ask others to not roll over in their sleep, and it was an issue with the beds themselves. We asked for a refund, as we were checking out before check out time and only staying 1/3 nights and they advised we would need to contact bookings, as we pay bookings, not them directly. We said we would and left with our bags. When we contacted bookings, they lied and advised we were still staying there, which we weren’t. When I messaged them, they refused to address it, told me to negotiate with bookings and just cited their cancellation policy, saying bookings would refund me, as if it would come from the company and they would keep the money and have no one in the beds. Very dishonest.

Spotless clean, nicely decorated in Japanese style, owners are really taking care of the place and their guests well

The dorms are really tiny so you can’t open your luggage in the room

Staff was weird as I had checked out immediately wasn't allowed to stay in the common room anymore.

Staff where so friendly, very helpful and had conversations with me. Rooms had lockers and a nice common room.

Dont have heavy bags xD stairs only. Pillow was oddly wrapped in a heat pack?

Its proximity to shops, bus stops and more importantly to the venue of the event I added.

The restrictions and having to climb up a ladder before I sleep on my bed.

The place is very clean and tidy, 9 minutes walk to Kamogawa Delta, such a great stay and fantastic enviroment! The staff are very helpful, definitely would like to stay next time.

Facilities and furnitures were all very clean. Saw them cleaning it daily which made my stay very comfortable. As not a lot of guests were around, I was able to make myself comfortable in the common area, utilising the space and quietness for reading or browsing the web.

Walls were pretty thin but reminders are clearly display to remind guests to lower their volume at night. Thus, not much of a problem.

clean organized and friendly

Location and staff her very friendly, I feel like home and It's very clean. and it's have common room that very nice

All the staff are really nice and attentive, really helpful and accommodating if possible. The place is clean, spacious and quiet at all times, it's located in a great area, near the subway station, busses, and lots of stores and restaurants around.The rooms are comfortable and the bed space is a lot bigger than it looked in the pictures, it was a really nice stay, would have stayed even longer if they hadn't been sold out.They received my luggage from the airport and when I left they helped me to get a taxi with all my suitcases, I completely recommend this hostel, I miss it already! ❤
