Great stay over all and really nice place to stay for your trip, I will add though it doesn’t scream ‘sit down, relax and enjoy your breakfast til 9’ when you’ve got 3 workers rushing about banging pots and pans, sweeping the floor around your legs as you make toast.. it’s 8:30am tell them to relax and crack on at 9, let people enjoy there breakfast in peace! Also don’t slap quite after 11pm stickers everywhere if your not going to enforce the rule…

Très bonne auberge. Tout était propre et conforme aux photos. Plus un hôtel qu’un hostel, je recommanderai pas forcément si votre objectif c’est de rencontrer du monde.

Overall nice new and clean place. It is VERY echo-y. Kitchen/common area reverberatd sound quite loudly as well as the bathrooms. My dorm was across from the showers/toilets and could hear things going on in there. Otherwise breakfast was good, location great, awesome space.

This seemed like more of a hotel than a hostel: the capsule beds were very comfortable and private, the bathrooms were very clean and nice. The common area was good and very open. The free breakfast is just toast and instant coffee which is okay. A bit expensive on the weekends but it was a nice stay.

!! You will share bathrooms with men AND CHILDREN, they aren’t separated by gender. They clean them only once a day so lots of times I found pee or poop in the lavatory, disgusting. Staff is nice, but if you want to meet people this is not the place for you. Also as the bed’s walls don’t touch the ceiling you will hear everything, even from the room next door. The kitchen was awesome and well equipped I must say. Definitely won’t come again.

It was great to stay at R.Star Hostel. The staff was nice and helpful, and the common areas are pleasant for both socializing and working. The location is good, as I was able to walk to some of the main areas, such as the Philosopher's Path. The hostel is also conveniently located near the station, which was ideal for me since I took a day trip to Osaka from Kyoto and then headed to Tokyo after only a few days there. The neighborhood is quiet, and there are nice coffee shops and restaurants.

Really clean and nice facilities. It felt more like a hotel. Only negative thing is that the hostel is not that social.

A solid stay with a good location, kind staff, and a bed that was surprisingly bigger than average, which made for a comfortable rest.

I’ve never seen such a clean hostel in my entire life. The staff was nice and the location really good. The room war pretty small so there was not enough space for the luggage but it was not too bad. Recommend for people who want privacy and silence. The hostel is not social at all so not really for solo travelers :)

Would be nice if the property could do something more to create group activities. Most people here were not friendly including the workers.. The rooms are all super isolated so makes it difficult to meet anyone else. The stay itself was so clean and nice felt like a hotel experience!
