Being able to drop off our luggage earlier than check in was very easy and convenient. The whole place was very clean- bathrooms had everything you need, and although they were shared they were never busy at all. It was convenient to have a sink in the room also. We were able to use the shelf above the bed to put our clothes etc, so we didn’t need to have our suitcases open on the floor. Nice and spacious dining area with big windows. We were able to bring food back to eat here when you just want a quick meal, or there are plenty of places to eat nearby.

20 minute ish walk from the main kyoto station.. however only a short walk to a closer subway station. free brekky in the morning was nice and free tea and coffee to drink at any time. rooms are cleaned every day if you wish.. fresh sheets and towels
small cooking facilities but we managed showers are on the very bottom floor and the elevator is a tad slow

I had enjoyed my stay in WeBase Hakata a couple of years ago, so from that positive experience I knew I would like visiting WeBase Kyoto as well. And I did! The staff were friendly and nice, and gave me good advice about some places I should see during my 8-day stay. I reserved a private room, and the bed was wonderfully large and comfortable. The shower facilities for women were nice and private. Everything was clean. There was a convenience store right around the corner whenever I needed a snack. WeBase Kyoto had a booklet in the lobby that recommended some good cafes and restaurants to eat at; I tried a few of them and indeed they were good!

Breakfast was very basic but free and handy if you’re going out early or on a budget. The lounge was lovely to hang out in, shower rooms were amazing. Staff were helpful, Haruko especially made our stay very nice.
There is no detergent available in the laundry room so you must buy a box in the shop which is inconvenient. Our main issue was with the air conditioning in our room, we had constant issues with it turning off and found it very difficult to sleep during the night as our room was so hot. We had to go to reception every day to ask them to fix it and then it would happen again. This was very unfortunate as it would have been very comfortable otherwise.

Provided a small breakfast and even midnight ramen (cup ramen) which was very nice as well as free water and tea at lounge. Private room booked had good amenities provided and was big, clean, private and quiet, even though it was on 1ST floor and near elevators; loved the separation of toilet, shower and sink areas as it made access easy for what you need without disturbing your partner like my partner can be on the toilet while I can wash my hands in comparison to typical full bathrooms where all 3 would be locked behind one door.
Pillows could have been better; too flat and did not like that it's a beaded pillow as it's not comfortable. Bed may be a bit hard for some people, but I was fine with it since it was only for one night.

Absolutely outstanding and amazing place. As a lone traveller with two teenage boys, I felt so safe, warm and welcome at WeBase. The rooms were bright, clean and comfortable. The shared shower facilities I was at first worried about, but honestly, DO NOT BE WORRIED. They are like what you would find at a very expensive spa. So clearn, inviting and it never bothered me that I didn't have my own bedroom. Amazing free breakfast and ramen in the evening. We weren't a huge fan of the breakfast, but it was free and so we would not complain. Loved the complimentary umbrellas for use each day, plus all the free extras such as toothpastes. Honestly this place has to be seen. Would highly recommend.
Pillows we're so uncomfortable! Almost felt as if they had wood chippings in. Dryers don't work that well downstairs and so cost us quite a bit to run them. Please don't let rhis affect you going though. The place is amazing and can't wait to come back someday.

WeBase had a really nice location, compared to the hotspots of Kyoto it was also more calm. As a couple in a hostel we were positively surprised how convenient everything was. There were a lot of shower on the underground floor and they were very clean. Each floor provided toilets as well. The room looked as in the pictures. The personnel was very friendly and helped us with our suitcase delivery to Osaka. We are happy with our choice to stay at WeBase and would do it again!
It would have been great if the windows could be opened. On a rainy day the air was very humid and hot in the room and opening the door or putting on air conditioner wasn’t helping much. And maybe a small luxury problem but a few more jacket hangers or something like a mini shelve would have been very convenient to put your stuff somewhere.

It is a modern hotel with wonderful bathrooms, common room and kitchen. They even provided breakfast, night snack and hot drinks for free. The staff was very nice and checked us in sooner because our room had been already cleaned. I liked the location of this place. I loved that we could leave our luggage in the basement till 9pm, had our own key and could come to pick it up anytime.
The only thing I can think of is that we had a double bed and shared one big blanket which we fought over:-)

The stay was really good. It was nice and quiet at night, the staff was very friendly and helped us a lot, it was clean and the offer of hotel facilities were great (powder room for ladies, blowdrier, toothbrush, shower gel etc. was there, sink in the room, and much more.) the hostel looked really beautiful making an overall good feeling. If you are looking for the highest quality hostel you can get for this price, you will be at the right place at WeBaseKyoto!
The bed was too hard for me and I woke up with back pain. The breakfast was 2 plastic packed sandwiches one with a sausage and one with egg. The window was very small you had basically no daylight in the room, but you go to japan for sightseeing and not to stay in the room so it’s okay.

This hostel is amazing! Not only the staff is super friendly, but they offer a lounge area with a lot of comfort: games, books, couch, coffee, tea, breakfast, noodles. All for free! The shared showers are spotless, the powder room offers extra amenities. And the private bedroom is super comfortable. Small but enough for its purpose of sleeping. The free breakfast was a surprise for me as I did not book anything. It's the same everyday but it's tasty. Definitely one of the best accommodations we had during our whole trip to Japan!
