    The location of the hotel was really convenient, with easy access to popular tourist spots and bus stations. It was great to be able to explore Gion and Kiyozumidera temple without any hassle. Additionally, the staff were friendly and helpful, making the check-in process smooth and even allowing us to check in earlier after the cleaning.

    The wifi was quite unreliable, especially in the rooms located on the upper floors. It would have been better if the wifi coverage was improved to provide a more convenient stay.

    We loved the location of Santiago Guesthouse, right beside a temple complex and not far from the metro station. It was convenient to walk to many great places, and the lobby and cooking room for guests were very helpful. The staff were also nice and friendly. I'll recommend this hostel.

    The lockers assigned to our beds were convenient and saved the hassle of a first-come first-serve basis. the futon was incredibly comfortable for the two nights and the location near famous shrines in the eastern side of the city was perfect for us party people.

    Felt so well looked after, couldn't find a reason to complain.

    Great location! The guesthouse is conveniently located near famous spots and is perfect for art lovers. Staff were really nice and helpful, making my stay more enjoyable.

    My locker was broken, which was very disappointing. It made me feel insecure about leaving my belongings.

    The location near Gion and Kiyomizu-dera was fantastic for exploring Kyoto's tourist attractions. the staff were friendly and accommodating, even allowing me to hang out in the common area after check-out. the common space had a modern design and oozed with character. the upper bunk beds were comfortable and the stairs to access them were not too intimidating. the kitchen and shower area were tidy and well-maintained. the staff provided helpful ideas about what to do in Kyoto and how to get around. the guesthouse was conveniently located next to a bus stop that connected to most places, including the station. the beds had curtains for added privacy, and the air conditioning in the room was efficient. I had a pleasant experience and would definitely consider coming back.

    Felt very secure, no complaints whatsoever.

    During our stay at Santiago Guesthouse, we were impressed by the spacious and comfortable beds with privacy curtains, as well as the large and well-equipped bathrooms. The location was also convenient, with easy access to major attractions like Kiyomizudera. The highlight of our stay, however, was the amazing rooftop views, providing a unique and beautiful perspective of Kyoto. Despite a few minor drawbacks, we would still recommend this guesthouse for a pleasant stay in Kyoto. we had a great experience at Santiago Guesthouse.

    I had a fantastic stay at Santiago Guesthouse! The staff were incredibly helpful and made me feel right at home. The location was perfect, right beside Kiyomizu dera and within walking distance of the Kamo river and Yasaka Shrine. The beds were comfortable and the curtains provided privacy. And the wine party and free sake were a great way to meet other travelers. I highly recommend this hostel for a clean, comfortable, and welcoming stay in Kyoto.

    Great location near key tourist spots and easily walkable to transportation. Many food options nearby.

    Toilet and shower facilities were dirty and smelled musty. Lack of staff, resulting in poor cleanliness and lack of assistance.
