Hi again!

I will be staying in Japan for 9 days in August and am trying to stay on sort of budget! I have a recommendation from a friend of a good hostel to stay in in Tokyo:

But I don't know a good one in Kyoto - I could just find one randomly on the internet, but I value first hand experience!

Thanks!

K Backpacker's ok also

Thanks! This looks good! Did you stay there? Was it nice?

Don't do hostels so no recos here but maybe the links off of this site will help in your search.

I don't know if you are still looking but I have personally stayed at K's House hostel and it was fine. Clean, good security, well-run. I had a private room which was very basic and bathroom facilities were shared but it's a hostel after all. Nice lounge area and kitchen for preparing your own meals, laundry facilities and the usual hostel vibe.

I'd stay there again but really feel you can get a room somewhere like Toyoko Inn for not much more so i guess it depends on how "budget" your budget is. Bunk in dorm is 2,500 yen.
