It was my second time in this hostel, like a home I visit at least once a year. For me, luggage storage until 10:00 pm is so important while I spend my day in Kyoto. They help a lot with it. Bed is comfy, with enough sockets and lighting close to the bed. Hot water is so good in the bathroom. I like common living rooms also. So good to hang out after a tiring walking day in Kyoto.

I've been really impressed by the hostels in Japan, and Hostel Niniroom was no exception. The building felt very modern, and my private room had a really nice vibe and decor. Staff were incredibly friendly, and the common room downstairs is quite nice. Everything felt very clean, and everything at the hostel felt well thought out and organized.

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.
