We really love our stay at the Pocket Hotel Kyoto Karasuma Gojo as it is a very nice modern hotel with all facilities needed (clean bathroom, cosy common area and laundry service). The hotel is just a few minutes walk from the subway station and lots of places to eat at a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

seconds away from a train station, 3 great restaurants, 1 minute from a convenience store, the room is just the right size for a solo traveler, or a couple that are close, clean, and the breakfast tickets.

rules about being quiet were not enforced. it's not the property's fault that a LOT of rude, loud foreigners stayed here, however it is their fault that they don't do anything about it.

really convenient location - right outside a local line, near convenience stores, breakfast tasted great.

I had no problems at The Pocket. Staff were always willing to help and communicate.

For holders of JR pass, it’s a bit of a walk to get to JR lines but not unmanageable.

Clean, good complementary supplies, very good location, good meal plans, water and facilities were very nice

Pillow is way too soft and if you can add more pillow (SUPER HOTEL) would be excellent. I arrived 1 hour early but did not get approached from staff (at least says hello!) or give any information that check-in is now available as there was other guest arrived 15 mins early and able to check-in.

Great location, few steps from Metro station GOJO and surrounding by popular Japanese restaurants. 7-11 is opposite and convenience. Good sound proof room and sufficient bathroom and toilet on each floor.

It's literally next to the Gojo subway station. Walking distance to main shopping areas, Nishiki market. Although the shower rooms and bathrooms were shared they were very clean and pleasant to shower and clean-up on. The breakfast on the restaurant next door was also a good set to keep your energized the whole day. Very good value for money.

good location, nice staffs, good breakfast

They only have showers in one floor, so you need to take an elevator to go there

It was clean, it felt safe and it was quiet at night.

They don't provide conditioner in the shower room, only soap and shampoo.

Excellent location, comfy beds. I really liked the little rooms! Such a smart use of space. And above all else, it was a great value for Kyoto.

the guest house is in a very quiet hill-side neighborhood. it's about a 15 minute scenic walk from the ferry that goes along the river shore, small shops, park, and shrine that everyone comes to see. We had a room in the second floor with a small sitting deck, and view of the river. The garden next to the common room had several deer that we watched. it really gave us a chance to slow down after running around Tokyo and Kyoto. As a side note, we lost all our yen (50,000) in an envelope somewhere in Hiroshima the day before. The guest house staff (Mr. Terazawa) was incredibly kind to call all the places we had been to since we didn't speak Japanese. He found that our envelope was at the bakery we stopped at previously and we were able to retrieve it successfully. He even gave us his personal number just in case. we are so grateful for his help and hopes he has a chance to visit Hawaii.

They should have a proper big water flask. Not just a plastic jar for all sharing

The room is pretty room. Not room to open my luggage. Need bring up and down from higher bed Space. The hotel washing machine too costly. And the worst thing is need to redo 3x and lastly I put 1 Jean , 1 shirt put 1 pull over for S$5 just to redo. Not worth the money. Spend $15 3x to split the clothes . The other customer also complaint she did 3x and all the clothes is not dry. Then realise it not working 😭
