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! ##### Allie Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Taylor 3 Oct 2025 You definitely only get what you pay for. Not the best, but it has everything you need! ##### Taylor Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Richard 21 Oct 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Listen people dont stay here unless you are seriously low on funds. The condition lf this place is very shabby. The pictures do it alot more justice than it deserves. I feel bad the staff is really nice but the doors here lock with padlocks on the outside and latch hooks on the inside....the the lights are powered by extension cords that are stapled into the walls. This place needs a massive overhaul to be habitable. ##### Richard Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Itzel 1 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities Está padrisimo que sea un alojamiento de mas de 100 años, sin embargo la estancia en si deja mucho que desear y lo que mas me incomodó fue que nos cobraran el uso de las toallas cuando es un recurso en todos los servicios de hospedaje. Las colchonetas me parecieron sumamente incómodas, es un alojamiento para chicos de menos de 30 años. La regadera es sumamente peligrosa y bueno el aire acondicionado no funciona como promete la descripción y en reemplazo colocan un ventilador de piso....reservamos 3 noches pero solo aguantamos 2, decidimos retirarnos. ##### Itzel Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 12 Dec 2019 #### 印象的な宿でした 隣室の会話が筒抜けですが…それを除けば古き趣きあって大正時代を感じる事ができます。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Helen 21 Nov 2019 Liked: Staff & service #### small area room area is very small, so insufficient open space to place luggage.

Le quartier est très beau avec ses maisons du vieux Kyoto. Très propre !! ##### CINDY Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryan 25 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Bryan Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron, Singapore 5 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wooden house, very traditional feel ##### Aaron Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### stefan 28 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very friendly ##### stefan Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 26 Apr 2019 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ziqi 15 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 不错！ 第一次住这种类型，觉得还不错，其他房间的客人也很好，很多外国人，讲英文的哥哥姐姐也有，还能一起聊天，酒店的人也相当好，教你怎样坐车之类的，很热情！ ##### ziqi Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 22 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ryan 16 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Ryan Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marti 25 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hostel Munro is an authentic, wonderful Japanese building with an interesting layout and beyond friendly staff.
