R Star Hostel Kyoto

Everything was perfect! The hostel was super clean, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I loved my stay and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Room was simple, clean and spacous. Great locaiton and decent price. We were only there to sleep and were out exploring kyoto for most of the time so it was perfect for us.

The bunk-bed kreeked a little but if thats just me splitting hairs. I was a little skeptical about shared bathrooms but they were kept very clean.

This accommodation is stand out! Extraordinarily good costumer service for example coin change, and completely organising a delivery for me with another hotel felt very taken care of by the lovely staff, changes to towels and toiletries daily, ice cold water on the second floor and a lift, very clean showers and toilets, can’t recommend enough!

Only thing to note is that on one of the days we had quite rowdy neighbours and the walls are quite thin, but that was the only thing

It was pretty clean and the place feels new. It’s not close to the main attractions but there are bus stations nearby.

Check-out is at 10 am, but guests are only allowed to use the common area until midday. I asked if I could stay just half more hour max (in the common area) to finish my work, and they said no. Breakfast is only bread, jam, and tea or coffee (you’re allowed max one coffee per day, which is another strict rule they have). I heard a staff member and a guest yelling at each other for like half an hour, which was a bit uncomfortable. Lastly, another girl and I discovered that we had paid three times more than walk-in guests. I extended my stay in Kyoto but booked a different hostel that was much more comfortable, welcoming, with a great location, and, surprisingly, cheaper.
