    I recently stayed at a unique and cozy hostel in Gion. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. The capsules were surprisingly spacious and comfortable, and there were plenty of showers and washrooms available. The location was perfect, with supermarkets, subway stations, and city attractions within walking distance. The ambience was peaceful and the entire place had a lovely library theme. I highly recommend this hostel for a memorable and enjoyable experience.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more!

    I loved my stay at this unique and cozy hotel. The concept of sleeping in a bookshelf was truly special. I even found one of my favorite books in Japanese! The staff was friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. The location was excellent, with easy access to cultural attractions and food avenues. The atmosphere was neat and the overall vibe was relaxing. I highly recommend this hotel to fellow book lovers. I'll definitely be recommending this gem of a hotel to others.

    Loved the unique concept of sleeping inside a bookshelf surrounded by books. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing local tips and speaking excellent English. The location was perfect, right by the Gion area and a short walk to the main train station. The hotel also had a great view of Kyoto and was centrally located for exploring the city.

    The music played until midnight, but they provided noise-canceling ear muffs to help with that. There was also limited space to open luggage, which could block the path for others.

    This hostel provides top-notch customer service, with attentive and helpful staff creating a welcoming atmosphere. The convenient location allows for easy access to points of interest in the city. The quirky design, resembling a library, adds a unique touch to the accommodation. Additionally, the hostel offers a comfortable sleeping experience and a vast collection of books for guests to enjoy.

    Although the hostel is mainly cashless, some guests would have appreciated prior warning about this policy.

    I had the most magical experience at this unique hostel in Kyoto. The atmosphere felt like I was transported into a cozy bookstore after closing time. The breathtaking views of the city added to the charm. I spent my evenings lounging with one of the many books scattered around the room. The beds were incredibly clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms were spotless. I appreciated the complimentary shampoo, conditioner, and soap provided. I honestly have nothing negative to say about this amazing hostel. It truly exceeded my expectations.

    The value for the money was great and the room was cozy and comfortable. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city with lots of attractions nearby. The staff treated me really well, they were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

    The breakfast menu could have been more varied, offering a wider selection of options would have been great.

    Conveniently located, Book And Bed Tokyo-Kyoto offers a unique and quirky experience of sleeping in a library. Situated just a stone's throw away from the bus stop and subway station, it provides easy access to popular attractions such as Gion. the compact layout and helpful staff add to the overall charm of the place. the capsule beds are spacious and comfortable, providing a cozy retreat after a long day of exploring. the library offers a wide selection of books, including food-related Japanese manga that can be enjoyed even without understanding the language.

    Limited toiletries and absence of provided pyjamas.

    The hostel has a great location, with many temples and UNESCO World Heritages within walking distance. The capsules are cozy and spacious, providing enough room for a comfortable stay. The staff is friendly and helpful, always ready to answer any questions. The facilities are clean, with no queues for the showers and toilets. The concept of a library within the hostel adds a unique touch, providing guests with a wide selection of interesting books to enjoy during their stay.

    The hostel does not provide breakfast, which may be inconvenient for some guests.

    The hostel offers single capsules, unsure about doubles. Peaceful and cosy ambience. Friendly and helpful staff, shout out to Lico san for extra effort. Great for book lovers, with unique titles in Japanese and English. Convenient location near cultural attractions and subway station.

    The view from the hotel was absolutely stunning, with a great vantage point of the city. The staff at this hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. Additionally, the location of the hotel was perfect, situated in a central area near the river, making it easy to explore the city.

    The beds at this hotel were not very comfortable, especially for someone with a larger build. They were a bit too small and not very supportive.

    This hostel was absolutely amazing. The location was perfect, right in the middle of town with plenty of restaurants and attractions nearby like the Kiyomizu-dera and museums. The ambience and decoration were top-notch, creating a peaceful and quiet environment, perfect for solo travelers. The beds were spacious and well-equipped with security boxes and hangers. The book selection was interesting, and the couches outside the beds were cozy and comfortable. The staff were generally friendly and helpful.

    The air conditioning was a little warm on my first night.

The library filled with interesting books was the perfect place to unwind and relax. Despite the thin mattress and pillow, I still managed to get a good night's sleep. The location was convenient and the facilities were clean. I highly recommend this hotel for an enjoyable stay in Kyoto.
