Great location, clean, facilities are new and the price is great. Rooms are small as suggested by the name of the hotel, but for us it was absolutely perfect since we wanted to keep our nightly cost low. Since it’s quite new, I didn’t feel like we were in such a small space.

While the Pocket Hotel is perfect for short stays, it might not be the best option for longer trips. The compact size and minimal amenities could feel limiting after several days.

The Pocket Hotel in Kyoto offers an unbeatable price, making it one of the most budget-friendly accommodations in the city. The value for money is exceptional, especially considering the hotel's cleanliness, which is truly impeccable. Despite the small size, the 7 square meter room for two people feels surprisingly spacious and not at all claustrophobic, which exceeded my expectations. The hotel's location is another major advantage, being conveniently situated for exploring Kyoto. Overall, the Pocket Hotel is an excellent choice for budget-conscious travelers looking for a clean, well-located, and efficient place to stay in Kyoto.

Bed was kind of uncomfortable and I would have liked a little more space for suitcases

Very clean and convenient facilities. Showers and bathrooms are shared, but are easy to access and clean. Lots of tourist friendly things like currency exchange/ATM in lobby. Room is small but perfect for the price if you’re a light traveler.

Our room was very small compared to the rooms on the other floor, but that's okay. Our stay was comfortable, and I have no complaints.

We loved the hotel, the bathroom was amazing. If I return to Kyoto, I will definitely stay at this hotel again. I will recommend it to everyone.

The room was very claustrophobic but it did have a lot of storage room under the bed area.

It was extremely self sufficient especially staying on the female only level which is where the toilets and showers were. There was also a McDonalds directly next to it as well as a 7/11 across the street! And if you’re strong enough the walk from Kyoto station isn’t that crazy.

It is smaller than expected but it is good for the money you pay.

This spot is perfect for travelers on a budget who also value a good location. It was very close to the Gojo metro station, as well as a few restaurants. For what you get, I would say it is worth it.

The only thing was that there were few washing machines so we waited one hour and half for it

The view, the bathroom, the cleaness, the space under the bed for the luggage, the common space, the information for tourist, the hotel pijamas

The pocket hotel had a very streamlined and easy check in process, and is located in a great spot. The staff were incredibly helpful and considerate, and we really enjoyed our stay here.

I had a large suitcase, so that did make the room a little cramped as it wouldn't fit under the bed. The mattress was also quite thin, which became a little uncomfortable after the first night.

Super close to the subway station entry (almost right outside the door), self check-in/out is available which was very easy. The luggage storage area is also very good, quite large and very secure. The bathrooms were fantastic! So clean, heaps of showers and complimentary items such as tooth brush kits. Also, such a great idea to have the towel bags to carry your belongings to/from the shower.

The room was small as expected but not a big deal. Also the showers were only on one floor but not a big deal also. There was no fridge. It was a 20 min walk from a main area.

The showers were definitely the highlight of our stay, so clean and so many stalls. The powder room was very nice to get ready. The hotel was very modern and clean. The staff were the nicest staff I have ever encountered. We got new towels every day which was very nice. The mattress was comfy and the air con was good.

Well located and ideal to for a few nights. Everything was smoothly done

The place was perfect, we wanted the experience of a capsule hotel, but wanted to sleep in a double bed. The pocket hotel brings aspects of a capsule hotel (free to use pyjamas, slippers, toiletries etc) but also has the luxury of your own room. The shared bathrooms were lovely, with entire shower areas instead of just stalls, hairdryers, nice shampoo/body wash, q-tips and more. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone. It has a main subway right outside the front entrance.

Everything was great!

Very well located, clean, comfortable, complete, different living areas, a respectful environment

The place was amazing but I wouldn’t recommend it to solo travellers who want to meet people. It was my own fault for not doing my research but it was more of a place for groups or solo business people. Not solo travellers who are looking to meet lots of people.

The facilities were incredible. The bed was comfortable enough. I found that I got really good value for money. Also was very secure and I felt very safe.

It was annoying to have to take the lift to use the bathroom, but it was really cheap so understandable.

Good location and good value

It was cramped, although it was expected for the price.

It was very centric and very quiet.

Stayed in July 2024

The shower rooms are located only on one floor, so you have to get the lift to get there. But there are many showers, so even at a busy time you‘ll find a vacant shower. And they were alway clean. You can‘t open or even look out the window.

best about it is the great location, from where you can explore the city. clean and tidy facilities.

Stayed in July 2024

Spending more than five days here/more time in the room may be depressing as the rooms are very very small with only space for the bed and a bit of ground to put your suitcase. The laundry machines (400 yen for washing + drying) did not dry my clothes very efficiently.

Really good value for an amazing location. Communal bathrooms are very clean with all of the facilities you need including cotton buds, toothbrush/toothpaste, hairdryers and even face wash. You are also able to get a lot of privacy in your own shower booth. Lobby is a nice communal area where many guests lounge with couches, work counter, TV and drinking water + a vending machine for those who want other drinks.
