Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! Kyoto Hostel Recommendation 2009/6/1 Kyoto City Hi, Urgently need anyone help to recommend a ryokan/hostel near JR Kyoto Station for Sep, 18-20 2009. My budget is around 4000-7000 yen with ensuite bahtroom. My friends suddenly bailed and my booking is for triple room and the ryokan I booked no longer have availability for single. Thank's in advance. Juliana by m3lodi3s   ... 2009/6/2 Maybe you can try Kyoto White Hotel? A friend of mine has stayed there before, with no problem, though I've read (maybe here on this forum) someone complaining about them not having any non-smoking rooms. by AK rate this post as useful ... 2009/6/2 You should try Ryokan Shimizu, it's 6600yen per person but doesn't specifically say whether or not they have single rooms. They all have ensuit bathrooms. I stayed there in February last year and it was great. Another place is K's house, I've never stayed there but it gets pretty good reviews. by AusEz rate this post as useful Uronza 2009/6/2 www.uronza.com I booked this place on the recommendation of a Flickr.com user and stayed 6 nights. Loved it. Bus ride from the station but still a very good location. My room was 6 tatami and 2800 yen. Awesome traditional building too and has a garden. by Phin (guest) rate this post as useful K's House 2009/6/2 I recommend K's House. Stayed there a few years ago and the place was fantastic- they have both single rooms or dorms for a cheaper option. Everything was clean, the staff were fantastic and its not far from Kyoto station (10 minutes by foot). I am staying there again this July. by Lg (guest) rate this post as useful Japanese Guest Houses 2009/6/2 I recommend this website: http://www.japaneseguesthouses.com/prefecture.htm They'll even call the Ryokan and book it for you. If you click on Kyoto under prefectures, you can also read reviews, see pictures, and find locations and near-by rail stations. by MN (guest) rate this post as useful Thank You 2009/6/16 Thank you all for the respond. I've booked with Nagomi-ryokan Yu... Do you have any suggestion for hostel in Tokyo that is walkable from JR Shinjuku Station. I booked at Kadoya, but still looking for cheaper rate. Thank's by m3lodi3s rate this post as useful Business hotel 2009/10/5 You can try the Nishi Shinjuku Hotel. It is less than 5 minutes from the JR Shinjuku west exit. It is an inexpensive business hotel. by mejo (guest) rate this post as useful --- 2009/10/5 Hi m3lodi3s, May I ask how much is the room rate for Nagomi-ryokan Yu? I am also looking for an affordable accommodation in Kyoto; so far only found one in shin-osaka, charging 7350JPY nett for a double room with Japanese breakfast. Thanks. by starlight (guest) rate this post as useful @ Starlight 2009/10/6 Hi Starlight, I booked through hostels.com the rate is cheaper than when I asked them through email (yuu@nagomi-kyoto.com) This is the website I found for the rates: https://sv65.wadax.ne.jp/~nagomi-kyoto-com/postmail/postmailnagomi-en.html Rgds, Juliana by Juliana (guest) rate this post as useful
