Santiago Guesthouse Kyoto

We booked for 4 nights but after one night we needed to move on. The capsule beds were small and they didn't seem clean. We were squeezed in on the end of a long row of beds and had less space. There was an emergency fire device blocking the entrance to my bed and I had to squeeze between the ladder for the upper bunk and it to even get in. It overlooks a very busy street that is loud. It was super stuffy in there- I didn't realize there was a window that could open until when we were leaving but that would have helped a bunch. Being so crowded there just wasn't any room to feel chill. The bathroom was shoulder to shoulder, there was hair in the sinks and shower. The staff was pleasant enough- it's just for the money there are much better places that we found later nearby. If I was single and in my 20s I might have not minded it but it was definitely not my scene. I will say I did other capsule hotels that I liked just fine- this one just felt too crowded and a bit dirty due to the capacity.

Good location, nice environment, everything looks brand new

Matress was very worn out so very uncomfortable, the aircon heater on the room was very very loud at night, was like having someone hairdrying next to you. Showers only on second floor, very small kitchen for such big hostel. But you get what you pay for. You have to pay extra 200 yen to the room fare of city tax that I don't remember was written on any place at the booking moment.
