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!
This was my third stay and each time has been very comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable. And the staff are always so helpful and friendly! It's a relaxing gem!
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.
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.
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!
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.
Lovely hostel that has only been running for a couple of months. Everyone from the staff was super sweet, welcoming and very helpful (even helped us booking a very cheap nightbus to Tokyo online). The female dorm os very cosy and the beds are sooo comfortable. The whole hostel is very stylish and the design makes you feel like home. Even though it seems to be a bit far from the main city district, it is easy to catch a bus to the city. You can also enjoy a very nice walk along the creek to the Path of Philosophy. The change to the touristy area was very nice. Good ramen places and lively bakeries are also to be found in the neighbourhood.
