Sui Kyoto is a great place to stay, I traveled solo and got a double room for myself. Air conditioning was cool (considering my stay in winter), snacks and water is offered for free in the breaking room (believe me, you'll be more than delightful of having this service while traveling in Asia) and washrooms were always clean.

The bunk was comfortable and had plenty of space, the place was spotless and the lounge was good for chilling out, cooking food and meeting others who were travelling.
Masa, the host, is a star. He runs the place single handily and does a stellar job. He offered up a local ramen place which was excellent and made sure I could stay extra nights when a typhoon was forecast.
Everyone was friendly enough when I stayed here and chatted in social spaces of the hostel. The upstairs shared area was quiet and everyone respected that which was great.
Overall this place was a gem of a find...
