Time Out "The Utano is tucked away in the far north-west of the city. ... Yet this is the newest...largest and most attractive youth hostel in town." Full review

"This modern hostel is set in a green, natural area in Northwest Kyoto, a bit far from downtown but close to temples and natural features, including the Arashiyama bamboo forest." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"The best hostel in Kyoto, Utano is friendly and well organised and makes a convenient base for the sights of Northwest Kyoto (but keep in mind that it’s a hike to reach any other part of town)." Full review

"This unique new accommodation offers ryokan-style capsules (meaning tatami mats inside the capsules), as well as comfortable, cleverly designed private rooms." Full review
Fodor's "Arranged like bunk beds, the capsules can be three-high. Each unit contains a TV, an air-ventilation unit, lights, and an alarm." Full review
Frommer's "In any case, all three facilities ensure guests get the most out of their stay by providing sightseeing and dining recommendations, maps showing locations of nearby restaurants, and supermarkets." Full review
