I really enjoyed my stay here. The beds were actually quite large and very comfortable. And the aesthetic of the overall property was so incredibly cool! It is also very conveniently near a lot of major things to see without being too close where a bunch of tourists are around! Right next to a bus station that can take you about anywhere too! Staff were so nice and accommodating! Would definitely recommend staying here!

Stayed here for 4 nights. It has a cafe/bar on the first floor, so I could grab morning coffee there. It’s right downtown by a bus stop. The amenities are nice, and it has an exceptionally nice common area. The dorms have small lockers and are very basic but pleasant. It’s pretty clean, with very nice staff who speak some English.

I chose this as I wanted to feel the atmosphere of a backpacker hostel. Pleasant stay. Clean. Affordable. Coin-operated washing machine and dryer are available. It only accepts 100 yen coins. You can exchange coins at the reception. Friendly bar next to reception. The famous Fushimi Inari Taisha is just 18 minutes away by train.

King room was very spacious and bed was plenty big enough although it was uncomfortable to sleep in the centre but for two people that would be fine. Was a bit loud because of the traffic but was given ear plugs which helped block it out almost completely. Overall had a great stay.

Cool hostel, great location for Kyoto

Cool hostel with a vibey bar downstairs. Decent hostel for meeting people, which is rare in Japan. Kitchen and common area could be bigger, but they likely want you to spend time in the bar downstairs. Kitchen had everything you needed like oil/herbs etc. beds had good privacy with curtains and were reasonably comfortable, with plug and light for each bunk. Only 2 showers per floor sometimes meant a little wait. Place was clean and staff were friendly. Free tea was a nice touch.

Great location, lovely staff, very clean. Very good prices. Bus stop basically right in front, and 7-eleven only 2 min away. The cafe and bar seem to be well-known, so there are chances to meet locals. The one event they hosted during my time there was a blast - live music, live art, good food and drinks. Staff give EXCELLENT restaurant recommendations. If you arrive too early for check-in, they can hold onto your bags and leave them in a room that is only accessible to staff which is very nice. I think the only negative is that I wish they had the fancier toilets haha. I had a great stay at Len and highly recommend.

Cozy Hostel and Cafe!

Thank you for a wonderful stay!
The staff here was friendly and accommodating. I messaged them because I was delayed getting in (they have 10 pm check in cutoff) and they waited for me, no problem :) beds were comfy and clean, shower pressure good, towels and locks for rent ($1) and locks available on property, about $2 deposit, and you get the money back once you check out. Little cafe was nice, good coffee and cocktails at night! Short bus ride from Kyoto station or 30 minute walk! Highly recommend Len Kyoto :)

Stylish hotel with a breakfast to die for

The hotel was OK. Be warned that you'll have to put on your own mattress and pillow covers. The breakfast in the café downstairs, however, was to die for. Get the point breakfast with a coffee, you will certainly be happy you did.

Trendy hostel 7 minute walk to city square

- Really cool hostel, lots of people come to the cafe so it has a great vibe to hang out at.
- Staff are welcoming, but just a reminder they don't have card facilities so must pay cash. There is a convenient with an ATM a few minutes walk away.
- I stayed in an all female dorm of 6. There are a few rooms on each level which share a bathroom with 2 showers and 3 toilet. Had to wait to use the bathroom a little bit but never super long.
- the top bunk is quite high up, and each bed has curtains around for privacy. the beds in our room were sort of in a circle so if you opened the curtains you could all see each other. There's a floor space in the middle to open bags and then they can be stored under the bed so not too cluttered, which was nice and a lot more spacious than others hostels I experienced in Japan.
- there is one common room for hostel guests on level 2 (I think) which is quite nice and has a kitchen and laundry. I didn't really go there since it's on a different level, and one time I went to use the laundry there were a fair few people in there but they were all very quiet so I didn't use it as I didn't want to disturb them.
- a 30 or so minute walk to a JR line
- 7 minute walk to city square where there is lots of food and shops, and subway line to connect to JR
- would recommend

Great boutique hostel

We stayed at Len for one night and loved it. The staff are all incredibly friendly, the bar area is really cool and the food and drinks are great. The food in particular was really good, especially for the price. The craft beer is expensive but that seems the case all over Japan. We had a twin bunk room which was no frills but nicely done never-the-less. The shared bathrooms are clean and modern. If I return to Kyoto, I'd definitely stay here.

Very Trendy Hostel

This is a very impressive hostel, stylish and modern with excellent facilities. The private room was extremely spacious and very comfortable beds. The cafe/bar is buzzing and the hotel staff are all so friendly, even recommending local eateries that we would not have otherwise tried. The common room had a great set up and modern, clean kitchen facilities. Look no further if you're considering the Len Kyoto Kawaramachi :)

A perfect rating isn't even enough

My experience with Len Kyoto has been nothing short of amazing! The rooms are tidy and spacious, while the facilities are always kept clean by the staff.

The ground floor which transforms to a cafe during the day and to a bar during the evening provides the perfect atmosphere to jumpstart your morning and relax at night after roaming the streets of Kyoto.

The luggages are kept in a secure (locked) dedicated room before check-in or after check-out so you don't have to worry about carrying your stuff while exploring more of Kyoto outside your booked period.

However, the greatest asset of this hostel are its staff who are all extremely friendly and courteous! They have never, not even once, missed saying a \"thank you\" for even the smallest stuff nor failed to greet first thing in the morning, before leaving the hostel, and when you got back from your gallivanting. All these done with the sincerest smile!

I will definitely be staying again at this hostel the next time I visit Kyoto. :)
