Hostel Mundo Chiquito Reviews

Lovely hostel, very clean. Very helpful staff, thank you!

very nice staff

Stayed here for one week and had such a nice time. The hostel is a traditional Japanese house with a beautiful garden area.The place is clean and has big lockers which is nice. The staff are absolutely lovely. Hopefully you are there when there is a dinner party on! Yuko is an amazing chef! mmmm!

A great hostel with amazing hosts. While they did not have a lot of English they went out of their way to be helpful and make sure everyone was happy. Only 2 showers and 1 toilet but very clean. We met some great people there and would love to go back.

So cozy, so friendly. All of the quests having a big meal together at night, bike rental at low cost and a "we'll fix that, dont worry"-attitude to things that would have cost you extra money at a regular hostel. Though not the best hostel when it comes to the facilities, everything else is all that you could ever ask for. Stayed at 8 hostels when I visited Japan, and this was the best one. A stay here is highly recommended!

I had an amazing stay at Mundo Chiquito for 3 nights! The staff is great, very helpful and friendly and the hostel has a character and great atmosphere. Big plus the cooking abilities of YukO. She is cooking dinner most of the times and you can participate with very few money. Just 5 minutes walk from the nearest bus and very close to the nearby public baths. I would definitely visit that place again!

Nice, small hostel. comfortable and warm with friendly staff. location is quite good, near the castle and not too far to walk into the centre of the town. bunk pods were comfy and had lockers in the pod.

Excellent hostel with great staff!

Best staff ever!! with an amazing atmosphere, really helpfull and lovely people! hope to be back there someday!!! Don't miss the experience of this hostel! it's weird in a beutiful way! :) Loved it!

Thank you Yuko, Yuya, Reina and Francisco for making Kyoto an amazing experience and for the evenings of food, beer and sake! This is more than just a hostel, I never wanted to leave.

Amazing atmosphere, small but so cozy. The most helpful staff we met on our trip, we had such a lovely evening enjoying diner together. Also best value for money by far.

just amazing. the place is full of character, and they have the best staff EVER! :)

Very homely, Yuya made me feel welcome right from the word go. Francisco and Reina were also great! Incredibly good hostel, don't let the cheap price fool you, deserves great reviews at double the price. Felt incredibly welcome and got to know all the other people staying there. Group dinners were great. Thanks a lot Mundo Chiquito, now all other hostels looks bad against your standard!

I only have good things to say about this hostel. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the location is convenient near the Nijo castle, and the atmosphere of this small traditional Japanese house is quite unique. Every night guests and staff gathered in the living room to have dinner together and trade stories so it felt like a little home away from home. I would stay there again if I go back to Kyoto and definitely recommend this place to Kyoto visitors.

Nice and cosy place with great staff! Also well located.

It was a real good time staying at Hostel Mundo Chiquito in a central location of kyoto. Easy to find, bikes available for low prices and finally a real nice hostel-crew!! Thank you.

I thought the house was cute and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Convienent location. My one issue was the walls are thin so if you are a light sleeper this is not the place for you.

The hostel was cozy, inviting, and very traditional. Mundo Chiquito is the only hostel ive stayed in where the hosts cook for you and share a traditional japanese meal together. Yuya cooked for everyone in the hostel and we sat down and drank sake together like a part of his extended family. The team that worked there are extremely friendly and can speak english rather well. Rooms have traditional futons are very comfortable. Cant reccommend this place enough. BEST hostel i have stayed in. :)

This hostel was amazing. Yuya and reina create such a wonderful atmosphere (the third staff member wasn't there during my stay). Every night we all had dinner together whether it was octopus balls or crab hot pot. Amazing! Reina even came out to party. Wonderful hostel and amazing people running it. Felt like a home.

this was the best hostel i ever stayed in! the staff is super nice, the manager was drinking some sake and beet with us almost every evening, we had great conversations with the staff members and one evening they even cooked for us guests. The Guest house has a great old japanese charme and the beds were really compfortable. Before i came here i spent 6 months in china. This Guesthouse didn´t feel like a hotel, it felt like a home. I recommand it to everyone!!!
