A nice stay in an interesting traditional Japanese house. Very good showers as well.

We had a wonderful time here! You do need to keep in mind that you are staying in a very old building and it has some quirks (which in our mind only added to the charm) bathroom and shower are seperate from rooms but are very clean. Very quiet shared space and very kind staff!

We had four nights, and as a couple, maybe thats a little too much in such a crowded and cramped house. The vibe is nice and we told ourselves that it was a bit like living in a chili movie. That helped a little when you had to crawl down a flight of stairs, turn around corners, and go through the common area and the kitchen to get a pee. Pros and cons. Hostel Mundo is a tiny, outdated hose in a residential area of kyoto. Its location is excellent, with several bus stops close, as well as several kiosks and markets nearby. It has a genuine vibe and very friendly employees. The double room with tatami mats and sliding doors was roomy and nice, and had that oldschool feel. However, the establishment itself does feel quite cramped, with all walls being paper thin. We slept for four nights, and as a couple, maybe thats a bit long in such a crowded and cramped house. We had a nice atmosphere and proclaimed it was like living in a chili movie. Which helped a little when you had to climb down a flight of stairs, turn around around corners, and go through the common area and kitchen to pee.

Je recommande. Maison traditionnelle centenaire en bois. Idéal pour les voyageurs. On a l'impression d'être en famille au sein du personnel et l'on y fait de belles rencontres. Le quartier est très beau avec ses maisons du vieux Kyoto. Très propre !!

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.

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.

Hostel Munro is an authentic, wonderful Japanese building with an interesting layout and beyond friendly staff. Without a doubt the best Hostel I have ever Stayed in. In addition the walk into central town is very close meaning it's perfect to get around.

The hostel is very traditional with a common room and tatami mattress. I loved that. Also you can enjoy there free tee and coffee. The hostel is traditional style, simple with a wonderful familiar atmosphere. I have never seen staff taking that much care about their guest and helping out wherever they can. By the way it was very clean!

The staff are very friendly and helpful. They would recommend good restaurants nearby and help to search the bus schedule for places you want to visit. Some of the guests were going to see sakura and the staff lady even called the temples to make sure the sakura trees were still blooming. I am sure the guests had a good time visiting Kyoto and we had nice chats at nights. :)
