This is simply the best acccommodation that I stayed at in Japan. Tour Club is a easy 9-minute walk from the main station. The map provided gives clear instructions of how to find the place. I arrived in the morning, and was met by Tai, a young guy who works there. I was stayng in a dorm room which was shared with four other people and very clean. There is a communal lounge with a bilingual TV, free tea and coffee, as well as a great book collection with a wealth of information about Kyoto and the surrounding area.
The friendly atmosphere make this a really great budget place to stay with the only negative points the cold dorms (to save energy) and the 'lock out' between 11am and 4pm.
