    I had a fantastic stay at R Star Hostel in Kyoto. The hostel is beautifully maintained and you can't even tell it's been open for 5 years. The staff were friendly and spoke excellent English. The location is ideal, just one stop from Kyoto Station and close to many attractions. The kitchen is well-equipped and the breakfast, although basic, was sufficient. The hostel is also very clean and the rooms are comfortable with daily cleaning. I felt safe with the locks on the doors and the key access at night. I highly recommend this hostel for a great stay in Kyoto.

    The hostel was very clean and had a modern design, which created a warm and cozy atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful, making my stay enjoyable. The location was convenient, with close proximity to the subway station and various sightseeing spots. the hostel provided good amenities, such as a spacious kitchen with cooking equipment, and free breakfast with a variety of bread options.

    The lack of storage space in the rooms. There were no shelves or drawers, which made it difficult to keep personal belongings organized.

    We got great value for our money with a huge, clean, and functional suite that comfortably accommodated our family. The location was convenient, close to the Gion district and subway stations. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the shared living room/kitchen was a nice bonus.

    The breakfast experience could have been improved with more variety and options.

    The room was clean and comfortable, with six double deck beds that provided privacy with individual wall lamps and Japanese-style sockets. the separate lighting for the locker zone and bedroom zone was a thoughtful touch, and the special flashlight ensured we didn't disturb others who were already in bed. the location was great, only a 15-20 minute walk to the station with plenty of convenience stores nearby. the photos on the website were accurate, showing that despite being 5 years old, the hostel has been beautifully maintained and refreshed. The staff were friendly, spoke excellent English, and provided helpful information about New Year events in Kyoto. Cons: There was nothing we didn't like. 😊.

    The location of this hostel was great, with plenty of restaurants and a convenience store nearby. It was also only a short distance from the main train station, which made getting around the city very easy. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially when I needed assistance with retrieving a lost item from another hotel. The cleanliness of both the rooms and the common areas was also impressive.

    There were a few issues that detracted from my overall experience. the room size was quite small, which I understand is common for hostels in this area.
