Good vibes at the moment when we arrived. Check in was a breeze, staff was super friendly, and the decor is modern and attractive - made me feel excited about staying there! I really loved staying at Piece Sanjo - the location is excellent, it had good restaurants, cafes, and shopping streets within walking distance. I'd definitely return.

Amazing stay at Sora, the host is so helpull and kind. I stayed 5 nights and enjoyed my stay, also super clean and a great location. I did prefer the private room to have enough space for luggage. If I ever get back to Kyoto, I'd stay here - great value for money!

Loved this place. Good vibe, friendly staff, and a kitchen where you can cook. It’s in a quite peaceful area. It’s about half an hour walk to the main places, which can be a bit far if you just want to go quickly go out. But it’s close to a train station. All in all I loved this place and will come back to stay a bit longer in Kyoto if I can.

All hostels in Otsu

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
