Adrian and Abalon are great at what they do. Adrian came in super clutch and was able to extend my stay late at night (thx king). Abalon is an s-tier game show host. He’s inclusive, friendly, and attentive. shouts out to the crew at r hostel!

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The location was especially great, as it’s close to Shinsekai and very convenient. The staff were super friendly, and both the check-in and check-out process were quick and easy 😊 I also really appreciated that I was able to leave my luggage and use the common area after checking out while waiting for my night bus. Thank you very much for the great stay!😍

Great hostel with an amazing atmosphere. The common room in the evening is always full so you will find easily people to talk to and hang out with. The staff members are incredibly helpful and likable, too. A special shoutout to the volunteer Adrian, who was an an amazing guide for Osaka.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at R Hostel, it is a very social hostel with no shortage of people to meet. Alban went above and beyond to make everyone feel very welcome, organise activities, and give travel tips. Thanks mate!

Met het cijfer wat hostel world gaf had ik meer van dit hostel verwacht. Ik had een female dorm geboekt voor 4 nachten. De prijs was goed net zoals het bed. Daar hield het ook wel op. Toiletten en douches waren erg vies. De laundry was kapot. En om het af te toppen, een meid uit mijn dorm dacht dat het oke was om een man mee te nemen voor haar plezier. Al met al, zou hier zeker niet heen gaan. Echt teleurstellend

An absolutely lovely hostel. It's a bit cramped, especially when it's full, but that also makes it easy to meet people. The staff are very friendly, it's clean, and the location is perfect. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed here for six days and came back for one night after being in Kyoto. My room in Kobe got canceled last minute, so I just asked if I could keep my bags there. They told me if I didn’t leave and take my bags they would call the police. They told me that I could have a bed if I paid more than double what I paid every other night. I really liked this place until my last interaction, you can tell that these people that work here are not very nice. I saw what the manager said about white peo...

Defo not the 9.2 that was rates on Hostelworld. This place was dirty and VERY loud, even with ear plugs the thin windows were right to the loud street and hang out area. I didn’t sleep in three days.

het is zeker een aanrader als je opzoek bent naar een sosial hostel. Ook is het personeel erg leuk om mee om te gaan het was zeker gezellig met de duitse jongen en die andere die uit Venezuela komt.

Amazing first solo travel experience. On day one I was already doing hanami under the sun, drinking sake with strangers who quickly became friends. The hostel offers great activities that make it easy to meet people while exploring the city. Perfect location near transport with a direct line to the airport and close to Shinsekai. Very clean, with lovely staff and volunteers. Special shoutout to Alban, Pixie and Adrian who made my stay unforgettable. Would 100 percent book again!

This hostel had by far the most social atmosphere I experienced on my trip across Japan, meeting people was as easy as dropping by the lobby room around evening time and joining for whatever people are up to! Also the sleeping cabins were fully enclosed, making it feel very quiet and private despite having 22 people in the same hall.
