My favorite Japanese stay
I was so pleased with Hostel Mundo! It has the style of a traditional Japanese home, with all the comforts that come along with that. That means snug rooms with sleeping cushions on tatami mat floors, a warm home-like environment in the common quarters, and a welcoming staff that is knowledgeable about the surrounding area of Kyoto. I actually wish to stay here again! So I hope I can the next time I want to visit Kyoto. A little distant from the more happening parts of the city, and a bit of a walk to the closest train station, but otherwise really, memorably great in all ways.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This place was not comfortable - the space had been carved into too many rooms, and every space was cramped. The shared bathroom area was ridiculous - you have to turn sideways to get down the hall. The walls are paper thin and you can easily hear through them. The 'free breakfast' considered of toast and one egg. We paid way over 10,000 yen per night for the 3 person "family room", which was far too much. Two positives: the location is good, and the staff were generally very helpful and nice.

Great staff. Organized and quiet. Good location to Imperial Palace and Nijo Castle. Close to bus stop that take you to Kyoto Station (take #9 bus). Old, quaint building. Not fancy but good hostel/backpackers location.

Traditional stay in Kyoto.
Great place if you want a more traditional stay while in Kyoto. Staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. The house is a little aged which gives it a rustic feel with the tatami rooms and decor. The futons are pretty comfortable considering but still is a futon, so expect that. The only real negative is that it's in the residential area so the train station is a bit of a walk, although there are buses nearby and you can rent bicycles. Overall great stay in Kyoto and would definitely do it again.
