The Lund House - A Simply Perfect Hostle.
Posted 28 Jul 2018 on HotelsThe 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
Posted 4 May 2018 on HotelsIncredibly 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
Posted 29 Nov 2017 on HotelsLund 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
Posted 24 Nov 2016I 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
Posted 23 Sep 2016 on Orbitz
Pros: Great staff, willing to help with anything, offered a wifi hotspot rental for 300 yen a day, cute cabin theme, lounge, connected to bar.
Cons: Only one of the two bunk bed rooms has AC, so putting one in the other room would be nice. It's hard to find on Google Maps with the given address.
Location: There are a lot of local eateries in the area, specializing in ramen and soba. There is a bus stop that is a 5 min walk away from the hostel.
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
Posted 22 Jun 2016I 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!
Posted 28 May 2016
Pros: It's location, it's staff, and our private, traditional Japanese room. The ability to do laundry and rent bikes.
Cons: It was pretty noisy with a bar/restaurant downstairs
Location: It felt like a long way out when I read that it takes 40 minutes on the bus from Kyoto, but it didn't actually feel that long in practice!
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.

Thank you for staying at Lund house! It was great to see you. We are very sorry about noise from the restaurant. But I still hope that you enjoyed Japanese style room with tatami and Japanese futon, and your trip in Kyoto ( including Ninja restaurant! )
