Great hostel for the price point I'd stay here again. Staff is great and they have all the amenities promised. If booking a private room, book the tatami room and futons not the western bedroom, the mattress springs are deadly. Air conditioners are pretty dusty and have some mold, they could use a cleaning. But overall it's a excellent place to stay on a budget.

I loved the stay. Everyone was really pleasant. House rules made sense and kept everything in shape to be usable for eveyone. I loved the simpleness and at the same time it was cosy and welcoming. Neighborhood felt safe The busstation was 2 min. waking. All in all great value for the price. We would come again.

I like that I get to experience a nice Kyoto neighborhood. The service could be improved. I felt like the staffs were not friendly every time I said hi. They also turn off the AC in the middle of the might and even if it runs, it’s usually very light so I try to turn on the fan at the same time to avoid sweating. However, it’s hard to sleep due to the fan noises.

The location was not very central, but still ok, with some supermarkets and restaurants close by. The staff were all amazing and extremely helpful and friendly in suggesting things to see and do as well as just socialising and helping with booking transport etc. The hostel is quite old and the dorms especially are very minimalistic and somewhat run down. There was some issue with the air conditioning one of the nights, but it was sorted out for the next night. The bathrooms and showers were clean and there was a nice common area. The kitchen had the needed amenities, and I really liked the fact that they let you use the shower and kitchen even after you check out. It creates a very hospitable, generous, welcoming feeling :)

Great staff, fun stay

Personally, I loved this location. It was quiet, had plenty of convenience stores around, and the living area was so cozy. I can see how people not prepared for something minimalist may not enjoy this hotel, but I thought it was so fun. It almost reminded me of a summer camp, and the staff was super friendly!

A lovely, quiet experience with friendly staff. Not particularly social between guests if you're looking to meet a lot of people and certainly not a party hostel but if you want somewhere relaxing and calm to stay whilst enjoying your trip it's perfect! The hostel beds are nice and spacious enough for your bags to stay with you. Lots of nice places close to the hostel and train station's not far so we didn't struggle location-wise. Thanks for having us!

Perfect budget accomodation in Kyoto

Great affordable accomodation. We stayed in a Japanese style private room, with very comfortable futon beds. The hostel was close to buses, convenience stores and some shrines as well Nijo castle. We were able to rent bicycles for 500 yen and bike around the city. Downtown Gion was a bus ride away and was great at night with plenty of shopping of dining out options. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!

Like living at home.

I chose this hostel because it was the only one left in my price range when I was getting close to my trip, and for its central location in the city. I personally enjoyed this hostel more than others on my trip in Osaka, and found Kyoto to be a magnificent city. The hosts at the hostel were very friendly and helpful, and work to help provide a home-like atmosphere with group meals as optional purchases (for cheap, and very good) as well as musical instruments made available. The place itself feels like living in a Japanese home, complete with me hitting my head on things and tripping over changes in height of the floor. All things considered, very comfortable. The bunks were comfortable and with ample storage although sound carries very well through the thin walls. All in all a great atmosphere, I felt like I was at home and would stay there again.

Atención despersonalizada y sucio

Cuando llegamos había un olor en el piso de abajo muy desagradable, ahí mismo se encuentra la ducha, por lo que no nos dió confianza bañarnos. Nunca encontramos a nadie para reportarlo y como íbamos a estar más días, decidimos cambiar de hotel. A lo que tampoco hubo nadie para revisar que habíamos hecho el check out antes.

大満足

(全て料金とのみあいで)京都の街中(ちょっとはずれ)にもかかわらず、この料金で宿泊できるとは驚きです。バスはシャワーしかありませんが近隣(4㎞ 、車なので)のスーパー銭湯でゆっくり、夕食もここでとって、大満足。
私達夫婦以外は国外から観光に来られた方々です。でも、よく理解していてむやみに話しかけてきたりしません。
自分としては、スピードなんとかで英会話習得中なので、話しかけられてもよかったのですが…。
これからは、京都での宿泊はゲストハウスに限ります

Traditionelt japansk hostel

Hyggeligt og familiært hostel, med en god og imødekommende atmosfære. Vi sov i et traditionelt japansk værelse med tatami måtter og futons. Komforten er ikke helt i top, så man skal tage det som en oplevelse. Der er to toiletter og to brusebade, så hvis der er mange gæster, kunne der godt blive kø. Udemærket wifi og aircondition på værelset. Man skal huske sit eget håndklæde.

Bra hostel!

Otro Mundo är ett välskött hostel med trevlig, serviceinriktad personal. Huset är genuint japanskt dvs litet, fullt av skjutdörrar, tunna väggar och inte särskilt välisolerat. Dock var det rent och snyggt! Vi sov i dubbelrummen på övervåningen. Klassisk hostelövernattning som funkar fint med öronproppar! Rekommenderas till den som vill ha hostelets fördelar med tips, lokalkännedom och umgänge.
