The location was excellent, and although street noise was loud, earplugs at night worked well. My room was so lovely, simple but pleasing, and clean. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The facilities were fantastic, the common room so lovely, and having the bar and cafe downstairs was excellent for a solo traveller when I felt like company.

Hostel Niniroom

Kyoto (Near Otsu)

Hostel Niniroom is located in Okazaki, about a 30-minute bus ride from Kyoto Station.

This hostel will remain one of the best hostels I've stayed for a long time. Hostel Niniroom feels very cozy and comfy, with warm and kind staff to match. Amenities were clean and well-stocked. They were very accommodating when I had to reschedule my check-in to after-hours and I was able to settle right in very quickly. The guides they provide for the surrounding area provide a good sampling of the surrounding neighbourhood. You could spend a leisurely day or two just exploring what the neighbourhood has to offer. It may be a little out of the way for some travellers if they want to see explore all of Kyoto. But the bus stops and train stations within walking distance have convenient routes to many famous locations, like kiyomizudera and the Gion district. Overall, best Kyoto experience, will definitely come back when I get the chance.

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.
