Latest Review for bAKpAK Kyoto Hostel

This is a Trusted Review. Why?

Everything is tiny, except the price. TINY kitchen, small amount of toilets (only one on each second floor, but clean at least), narrow corridors.

About bAKpAK Kyoto Hostel

Internet Access

Funky, Hip and most centrally located hostel in downtown Kyoto city, right in midst of everything you need for your vacation!Centrally located in the downtown Kyoto city but also giving visitors the luxurious advantage of being in front of the spectacular Kamogawa river.

Just across the street is Kiyamichi" shijo Kawarachi and close beside is Gion, the Kyoto Geisha district and Minamiza Theatre (the birth place of Kabuki.)

The main Kyoto shopping centre ,the bustling night life of Kiyamachi and Gion (Kyoto Geisha town) are on the hostel's doorstep!

These places are the circuit of Kyoto.

Undisputedly the finest places for nightlife and culture. The area is teeming with restaurants, supermarkets, pubs, bars and karaoke houses, entertainment halls and much more all waiting to give you a warm welcome. The cool breeze from the river and the way the hostel is built ensures you’ll get a good night sleep.

For the adventurous daylight explorers there are some of Japan’s most famous and arguably most important cultural spots such as; Gion, Kyoto imperial palace, Kiyomizu temple, Kenninji temple, Yasaka shrine, Maruyama park, Kyoto Ebisu shrine and Kyoto Minamiza theatre (the birth place of Kabuki). This is where you can experience the authentic Japanese experience. It's a great place to snap up some authentic Japan photographs too!!!

Revelers and party animals bust out moves with the hordes of Japanese that frequent this area. Anything goes, so get dressed up and bust out your best moves in either Kiyamachi or Gion followed by a midnight stroll along the Kamogawa river banks to enjoy the view and cool breeze.

There are no worries about transport arrangements. This hostel is just a stone throw away from where you want to be. So you can easily walk to and from the hostel each day. Kyoto Backpack Hostel - 'Where people meet to explore and enjoy the rich culture of Kyoto'!

This is a Trusted Review. Why?

It was just one night, because I was in Kyoto last year and already visited all the interesting spots The location was the best asset. I was a bit disappointed not to have toilet on my floor (4th) and had to go down on steep steps at night. But aether then that it was great!

The hostel was nice and the staff was fine. They weren't very knowledgeable on restaurant in the area when we asked questions, but over all they were good. There is also no one on duty in the evening/early morning. The hostel was clean and the location was good.
