I recently stayed 10 days at SHIN and all I can say is I was blown away by the host’s (Shin) hospitality and attention to detail. From the moment I checked in, to the moment I checked out, along with local delivery of a forgotten item, Shin had taken care of everything. The room I stayed in (bunk room) was a good size for one or two lightly packed travellers. All shared spaces were well maintained and kept spotless. Getting around is very convenient, with a JR train station 3-5 mins away, and also the city bus stop right in front of the hotel. Only thing to note, is that the stairs are a bit steep, so something to consider for those that may have difficulty getting up or down.

The location is very close to public transportation resources like the bus stop and metro station, which made it easy to get around. The hostel was very clean, not very crowded, and very comfortable. The staff were really nice and accommodating. And the hostel's aesthetic design was relaxing. All the amenities were new and clean too.
The street was a bit busy, but that was to be expected. I was happy to have received a room with a window on the opposite side of the street. Although the rooftop could get loud from cars, it wasn't a problem because of how close the stay was to public transport. Inside the building it was not noisy.

The host, Shin, was awesome. He keeps the whole hostel spotless, including the kitchen and bathroom thanks to the very regular cleaning. He went above and beyond for me during my long stay, making sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Thank you so much Shin!! The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to cook. I especially appreciated having my own cutlery and dishes in their own drawer. The bath is amazing, long enough to properly lie down and relax in! The bed was really comfortable, and the big drawers under the bed were great for storing my clothes during my super long stay. In general the room was really good for a long stay, with a desk and a vanity so I could brush my teeth etc. without leaving the room. Also had amazing views from the window when it snowed! The location is great, with really easy access to Kyoto station and lots of bus stops. There's a really cute bakery right around the corner and lots of nice cafes within walking distance around the neighbourhood. Plus, uniqlo and daiso are right across the road!
Nothing, I'll definitely be staying again next time I'm in Kyoto.

Shin was a fantastic host - helping me throughout my stay and making me feel extremely welcome. He has fantastic English and goes above and beyond with everything he does. The room was unbelievably clean and the bed was comfortable. The shared kitchen was always spotless and had all the equipment you would need (and complimentary coffee!). While not close to the main attractions in Kyoto, the accommodation is a two minute walk from the Metro so there is no real issue.

This place is awesome! Shin, the owner of the place, is caring and super fun, such a nice person. He makes you feel at home. He takes the time to explain and answer all your questions. The hostel is EXTREMELY clean and meticulously designed. I wish I stayed longer! I can just recommend. See you soon Shin!!

It is immaculate. It is very comfortable. Shin goes out of his way to make hi guests feel at home and to accommodate any requests.
It’s a bit far from downtown, but because of that, closer to other shrines and tourist sites.

Special space accurately designed with maximum attention to details. Very safe and comfortable. Great kitchen with all you need and your personal drawer with glassware. Common space with video projector. I wish to watch some Japanese movie next time with other guests :) Two common bathrooms for three rooms. Never busy. Located in a local district which I personally liked as it gives you a possibility to see local vibe a bit and take a rest from tourist crowds. 15-20 minutes by bus and you are back in a melting pot. And of course the hosts… Shin and Kenichi are very sympathetic and welcoming guys. They make you accommodated and give you all the tips you need. You immediately feel like you visit friends. I really appreciated it being solo traveler in Kyoto. All the luck to you, Shin. Hope to have a possibility to come to your place again one day.

Our stay at Shin Kyoto was absolutely incredible! The place itself is beautiful, comfortable, perfectly located, and incredibly clean. What truly made it special was Shin, the owner. Shin is incredibly friendly, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure his guests have a memorable experience. His warm hospitality made us feel right at home, and he was always available for any questions or recommendations we needed. Staying here felt like staying with a friend! Highly recommend to anyone visiting – it’s a five-star experience. Thank you, Shin, for making our trip unforgettable!

During my 18 days in Japan, staying with Shin in Kyoto was truly one of the highlights. Shin is an incredibly sweet and gracious host, making our short stay feel like home. He went above and beyond to offer thoughtful recommendations for exploring the city, always with genuine kindness and warmth. If you're looking for a place to stay in Kyoto, I can't recommend Shin highly enough. It's a perfect choice for anyone seeking a welcoming and memorable experience.
There is nothing that I disliked about my stay at Shin.

Great location not far from Kyoto station, hostel was on a busy street where you could find 7 eleven, curry restaurant/fast food, uniqlo across the street and etc. Unexpectedly, I had a pretty big room in this hostel because in japan I think it's really rare to find one. Super clean, cool assets such as coffee machine, projector in the kitchen, everything is really easy to use. Nice and polite host, Shin, thank you for the stay, I'll definitely come back) Also, this hostel really stands out when you're looking for where to stay. It has this great urbanistic look, which I really appreciate.
