Hostelworld says

Backpackers Hostel K's House Kyoto is located less than 10 minutes' walk from JR Kyoto station and is about 20 minutes' walk to the Gion District. Hostelworld guests frequently praise this clean and modern hostel's "friendly and cosy" atmosphere and the "incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and friendly" staff who "are willing to take the time out to help you get to wherever you want to be and will even Google Map and help book places." We like their rooftop terrace with a view over the city. It's no wonder this was rated the best large hostel chain at the 2011 Hoscars!
