nothing particularly wrong with the place but the other people were super noisy every night between 12am-7am people are still constantly coming in and out of room the door is loud, and people unziping suitcases, and turning lights on. Quiet hour was supposed to start after 11pm was not the case.

We had a family of 4 stay in a room with a double bunk bed and it had a small table in the room. Each bed had outlets close by and adequate space. Clothes hanging rack was nice to hang rain coats to dry off. 2nd floor common eating area was nice to have a place to eat and store food. Small market across the street for easy access for purchases. Very close to train station for walking and large shopping area within a mile.

This hostel beats any hotel/ hostel I’ve stayed it. It is well worth the value. Lockers are spacious, staff is friendly and hard working, the amenities like breakfast, towels, slippers and laundry are a great touch. beds are spacious and comfy and I like that there was a designated smoking area on the premises. The only thing is the internet is a bit wonky but overall amazing stay!

Close to Kyoto station - good clean hostel
First time staying in a hostel and I was very pleasantly surprised. I booked a room for four adults with a private bathroom. It was very clean and quite comfortable. We only needed a bed for one night so worked out good. Not to get from Kyoto station - we walked to the hotel.

Very foreigner friendly. The front desk speaks English and they are able to accommodate any issue you may have. Their breakfast is delicious bread! They wash the dishes so you put them in the sink afterwards. The location is perfect too, everything is within a decent train ride distance. Overall, I would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Daniel, Santiago, Chile

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I waited over half an hour to check in as no one was at the front desk, and when I wanted to do laundry no one was at the front desk. The facilities are fine with a basic breakfast of toast and jam, and there was water, coffee, and tea available 24/7. The room could have had a coatrack or space dedicated to luggage storage; it felt quite cramped compared to other places I stayed with a similar setup.

Very clean little hostel with basic breakfast
Incredibly clean little hostel - rooms were basic, but spacious, toilets and bathrooms were always spotless and staff were lovely. Locationwise it wasn't necessarily right on the doorstep of anything, but if you're OK with walking and exploring on foot, Kyoto's on a block system, so relatively easy to navigate compared to other cities we'd been to and so the markets, Geisha district, the river, etc. were OK to reach with longer walks and there's also a bike rental shop a street away to help getting around too. Another major perk here was having the communal area as an alternative to sitting in rooms when doing research / grabbing a snack and liked that we could grab toast and coffee before heading out for the day.

Excellent Stay in the heart of Kyoto
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with R Star Hostel, we stayed in the suite of the hostel, this is very big area with 2 double beds (bed is little bit soft) and 1 or 2 futon beds on the floor if required. It is clean and well equiped with an ensuite bath room (shower over bath), separte toilet, kitchen with toaster and big table in the dinning area. Out of all the hostel / hotels we stayed in Japan, this hostel offers the best free breakfast with 6 different varieties of bread with healthy selections of wholemeal and seeds loaf, 3 different types of gourmet jams which are so yummy, it has a nice open kitchen with plenty area to spread for your meal time cooking etc. The hostel location is nice and quiet which is only 3 minutes walk from Gojo station ( 1 station north of Kyoto Station ), there is a direct bus to Gion area with 6 stops only. will definitely stay here again if visit Kyoto again in the future.

Great stay
Location was good for us, it’s a 20minute walk from Kyoto station. The hostel itself was spotless and the private room (bunk beds and shared bathroom) was a decent size and much bigger than expected, comfy beds and again perfectly clean. Breakfast on offer is a selection of breads, jam, tea and coffee. Only down side was the walls are quite thin so you can hear next doors conversations clearly and doors opening/closing so if your a light sleeper this isn’t ideal! Nevertheless would recommend.
