I loved hostel Mundo and all its guests and workers. It's a charming traditional Japanese home and I really appreciated the common area where we could all chill together. The bed I had in my single room was also the most comfortable I've had in a while. Shout out to the receptionist! :D She's the best!

There's nothing I really disliked. I guess how small and narrow everything was since I'm not the smallest. The floors also make a lot of sound so I hope I didn't wake anyone when I stayed. But those weren't problems with me. More something someone would want to keep in mind.

Cozy and homely atmosphere, unique interior, clean beds and facilities. Well equipped kitchenette, friendly staff.

It may seem cramped, as it is a small building with some narrow passages, but for me it only added character. The walls are thin, therefore you may hear some noise from the inside or from the street, but it was perfectly fine for me, since this is a hostel that you share with others.

120 years old house offers experience of authentic japanese living on tatami and futob for very reasonable price. Owner is nice, helpful and fun. It's not in city center, but there are so many things in the neighborhood. Public transport, shops, restaurants, galleries, major castle, laundromat. Owner even provides umbrellas, tea, laundry and bike rental.

Toilets and showers are quite old and very small, might be impossible for plus-sized people to fit in, i am average size and it was tricky for me to use them.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. I had no complaints with the quality of the facilities. Obviously this is not a fancy hotel but everything was nice, functional, and had a friendly vibe. I liked the location too, it was quiet and pretty close to both bus stops and the train station.

I honestly don't have any complaints, if you need a nice and basic place to stay in Kyoto and it's a good location for what you're there for it's decent and affordable as well.

Since the place is rather small, few travelers are staying in the place, which creates opportunities for better friendships, and opportunities for conversations.

Place is sufficient with the basic necessities, but is kind of run down. The staff exists about 1 hour a day, mainly during check in. Place should receive a little bit more love, it could be really lovely even with its small size.

The atmosphere was really charming, and it was very close to some of the major sites like Nijo Castle. The room was beautiful, and the shared space was full of fun decorations. The staff was very friendly and I like that they gave us nearby recommendations, especially bathhouses!

There was nothing bad about the hotel.

The staff were all so kind and helpful! It was perfectly clean everywhere! Also the location is really nice, only a bus to the center. Very traditional feeling. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

The wooden beds are old and a bit noisy.
