Len Kyoto Kawaramachi

A huge shoutout to the staff at Len. Wonderful people! Everyone was so helpful and friendly. The atmosphere, the coffee, the food, the drinks, all great. The common area upstairs on the second floor is a cozy spot to meet new people or get some work done. New Years: I'd like to add that I really appreciate how Len had a countdown and sold soba for the New Year. My friends and I didn't plan to be at Len to celebrate the New Year, but Len was doing everything right so we ended up staying. Thanks for such a great time, everyone!

The vibe at the hostel was so great - lovely downstairs bar/cafe area with amazing coffee, and the first floor common area for guests was cute too. It was really easy to get to the golden pavilion via the 205 bus which leaves a few hundred metres away from the hostel, and to visit the inari shrine via subway, also only a five minute walk to the station! All in all, great!! We really enjoyed our stay here, the staff were really kind, they let us leave our bags in the hostel after we’d checked out, and everything was lovely and clean. It was a little noisy as our room was facing the road but earplugs were provided so that was great! I wish every hostel was like this one!!

All well thought out and refined - everything I could think of was there and available - private reading lamp with plug for charging phone, private locker, slippers, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, free umbrellas, and a terrific kitchen available. Staff so kind and friendly and personable. Food and drinks were fab - great atmosphere, easy and beautiful.

Extremely friendly front staff :) Amazing breakfast !!! Try the French toast, granola & yogurt with berries and smoothie. Also evening cocktails were yummy. Super clean place to stay we saw lots of international guests and even some with multiple kids:) it was quite, and the bed was comfortable and clean too. Also this is in my opinion the best place if travelling on foot. The bus stop is right outside and it’s only minutes by bus to the Kyoto station!

Location was superb! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were a generous size with tall ceilings. Bathrooms were clean and a good size as well. The cafe downstairs was also a plus, good coffee in the morning - we didn’t eat here because there are so many other good options around, but the food looked okay.
