The Lund House - A Simply Perfect Hostle.
The Lund House is a small simplistic hostel in a nice and quiet part of town. It is still easily accessible, however, with the closest bus being line 17 or 206 (Summer 2018). The Lund House is very small and compact, but as long as you have pleasant roommates the place feels like a wonderful home. I would gladly stay here again. And at their listed price you can't beat it!

Cozy staff
Incredibly friendly staff and service as soon as I walked through the door. Beds were cozy with outlets, a shelf, and curtains. Small kitchen facilities but gets the job done. Even some free whiskey and soft drinks! Ramen shop downstairs is absolutely delicious. Train station near by. Bike rental was reasonable and the bath was heaven. I especially loved the helpful binders full of information about the attractions in Kyoto and bus system.

Refreshing Stay
Lund House staff was hospitable and welcoming. We lived our stay here. It was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed talking with the other guests. Tons of great food and ramen shops in the area. It was great to get out of central kyoto and enjoy the mountains close by.

Close to mass transit
I found this hotel just a few weeks before my trip. It's super affordable and more than worth the money I paid. You can get to know other travelers in the morning and at night after you have gone to do some sightseeing and compare notes with others. The staff are very helpful in getting you where you want! Perfect place and the breakfast was outstanding! You won't regret it! There are plenty of good cheap places to eat as well! Enjoy Kyoto!

Cute cabin-themed hostel in Kyoto
My girlfriend and I had an amazing stay at Lund House while we were exploring Kyoto for 3 days. Our previous hostels in Japan were rather mediocre, so when we got into Lund we were pleasantly surprised to see how accommodating the place was. There are two rooms for bunk beds, each with 2 bunks. The owner allowed us to choose which room and bunks we wanted, which was very nice, since we wanted our beds near each other. There are lockers for your belongings, but I didn't feel any danger of my possessions being stolen there. There are 2 showers, one of which also includes a bathtub which one can bathe in for a small fee. There is also a 2-in-1 washer and dryer that can be used for 300 yen. The coolest part of this place was that the 2nd floor had a bar there! They serve food and drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. All the staff were extremely friendly and good at English. I would highly recommend staying at Lund for people visiting Kyoto.

Really cute hostel
I loved Lund House! It was a really cute little hostel. The lady who was running it when we arrived was really sweet, showed us around and offered us a dip dye activity they were running. The beds are super comfy with a curtain for privacy. There are also lockers to keep your stuff safe. Well equip kitchen and bathrooms/showers.

Fabulous hostel!
We had a great experience staying at this hostel! Mai greeted us with such enthusiasm and had answers to all of our questions. It was pretty straightforward in finding it and is located on a great street full of restaurants that won't cost an arm and a leg, like the rest of Kyoto! A beautiful neighborhood too. We were very pleased.
