One of the best hostels I stayed in. The staff are warm and very helpful, and I like that they have a shared bathroom for the disabled. I had a solo room with a queen bed and it's more spacious than most business hotels in Japan. They have a full service common room where you can cook your food and do your laundry, and the bar downstairs is full of hip people. Will come back here again when I return to Kyoto.
Did not stay here but went to their bar twice while in Kyoto. The sake list was wonderful and very affordable. Well designed space.
I was only there for a coffee, but it's a cute lil trenfy place, with some latte art and funky decor. Nice place to chill.
I visited the cafe/restaurant at Len. I came during lunch hours and was told food was not being served anymore. Then when I tried to order some of the pastries on display I was told certain ones were reserved for other customers. The whole experience was odd. As I was finishing my coffee and pastry, a few others groups of people entered and were served lunch. I wanted to like Len based on all the good reviews, but I don’t understand why the service was so cold.
Stayed four nights in this boutique hostel at downtown Kyoto. Love the relaxed ambience and lighting in the day and when the night comes, the place is transformed into a dinner + bar. Awesome food served here as well ✨
Hostel is just nice with ample space but remember to bring a padlock for your valuables. Clean and spacious, but it's a unisex toilet, so prepare yourself.
If you want to meet locals, this definitely is not the place for you but if you love to talk to people from different countries then yes, book your stay here!
Good food. Polite people. Easy space.
All the staff here are amazing people and friendly! The drinks are relatively cheap at ¥500 and also the food is delicious!
Great service. Tasty beers. Delicious food. Recommended for all.
Excellent hostel and cafe located in central Kyoto. I was so surprised to find this very hip coffee shop when I was wandering the streets of Kyoto. As a local New Yorker, I felt that I had stepped into a shop in Brooklyn for a cup of coffee. It's beautifully decorated and their coffee and pastries are excellent. I so badly wanted to book a bed in the hostel for my remaining days in Kyoto, but they were booked out. Regardless, the staff at Len were very helpful providing recommendations for me in the areas as well as a map to keep highlighting the route I should take. I would certainly recommend Len for travelers to the area and I wish to return on my next trip to Japan.
Very nice design and amenities in a great part of Kyoto. Staff offered brilliant local advice, room was clean and cosy. Queen bed was actually two singles together, which was the only downside. Bar and coffee downstairs, nice common room on level Two with kitchen and washing facilities.
