This was a great place because it had the feel of a hostel with the cleanliness and amenities of a hotel. It is also really well located and the staff are very helpful
Piece Hostel Sanjo blew away my expectations to say the least. The beds are clean and comfortable, the common area is a great place to relax and meet people, and the facilities (both east and west) are aesthetic with lots of accommodation. On top of that, the staff are very friendly and don’t shy away from helping travellers. Would highly recommend.
We stayed 2 weeks in Japan and this was the nicest place we stayed in. The common areas where very comfortable and spacious, so if you're planning to hangout at the hotel a bit, it's a good choice. You can bring your own food and drinks too. The hotel also had showers in the common area, very clean, with a good area to dry your hair or put your make up on before leaving. We used it when the other person in our group was napping, so we didn't have to bother them with noise and such.
Overall would recommend. The beds allowed us to slide our luggage under which was nice to get a little more space. There are too lounges and they were both very spacious and clean. Great location. There is a sushi and omakase restaurant right next to it that I highly recommend. The drier for laundry was the most expensive of all the hotels we went to in Japan (100 yen for 10 min as opposed to 100 yen for 30 min).
We loved our stay! There’s lots of transport options and many areas and sites within walking distance. You are close enough to all the buzz but far away enough that it’s still quiet. The staff were helpful when needed, there were great facilities and it’s all clean and spacious compared to similar stays elsewhere. Would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful hostel. Makes for a nice home base. Very central to a lot of shopping, but still on a quiet street. The train is close, so day excursions to tourist hotspots are extremely easy.
Great poperty near Nishiki Market and Kyoto Imperial Palace. 5-15 min walks to most subway and bus lines. Its very modern inside and had a jazz band playing downstairs when i checked in. Would def stay here again if i return.
Great location in Kyoto in walking distance to lots of restaurants, shopping, temples, etc. Stayed in a private room which was clean and comfortable with everything you need. The kitchen and lobby area are really nice. Water pressure in the shower was excellent. Got a weird vibe from the staff, but they were nice enough. Would stay here again.
Our stay at Piece hostel was wonderful! The rooms were very comfortable and spacious, the staff was great and the location was right next to the market making for lots of dining options and things to do. The only thing I’d advise is to bring ear plugs- the walls are quite thin and with it being a hostel people are up all hours of the night being quite loud. Otherwise a perfect experience!

Walking distance to train station and shopping area
Just a reminder if you want tooth brush it will charge u JPY 100
Like the cafe/bar in the basement. The 2 buildings across the street from each other makes it a bit inconvenient, for instance, to get to the kitchen from hostel room if they are located in different buildings. Otherwise, clean, nice, comfortable.
Hostel staff were great. Very nicely located buildings with comfy rooms. Shared facilities are all very nice, has all of the amenities and comfort of a hotel but comes as a much cost friendlier option. Will definitely stay again if visiting Kyoto
