I didn't tried the breakfast but the location was very accessible just 5 minutes walk from the station if you have luggage then that isn't a very big deal bcz of good location. You don't need to walk much... Most of the facilities are nearby.... The place was clean cozy warm nice. I enjoyed my stay there!!!

I've stayed in multiple hostels in various prefectures in Japan, and this one is by far my favourite one. The interior design of the lobby and the rooms creates an incredibly comfortable atmosphere. The hostel had all necessary amenities to make my 3-day stay wonderful. The staff members were incredibly friendly and helpful. All floors were very clean and well-kept. To top it all off, the location was ideal for me, not too far from the central station Sannomiya, allowing me to easily go around sightseeing. Will absolutely be recommending this cozy little haven to friends!

The owner was very welcoming and accommodating! I had an overnight bus at midnight and checkout was obviously hours before that, so I left my luggage at the hostel to explore the rest of Kobe and kill some time, which also resulted in my phone battery dying with no other facilities to charge. So, when I went back to the hostel, the owner was very kind to let me charge my phone. The general facilities are quite female-friendly, so to speak - there are dedicated female-only facilities. The place is within walkable distance from Oishi station, which is only a few stops from Kobe-Sannomiya and Motomachi. It's also conveniently accessible to transports for Mt Rokko, which also leads to Arima Onsen. Overall, the hostel is decently quiet and definitely worth a bang for its buck given it's more of a residential area, so expect it to be less bustling than the main city area.

Location close to several metro lines. The property is very clean. The owner is a super helpful Chinese lady. She learns Japanese and always tries to help. She also offers coffee and real Chinese tea in the morning. I work remotely while traveling, and this place is perfect for online workers. It is quiet most of the time, it has proper working space, hot water to make yourself a tea, or a microwave for your lunch while working.

A hip and nice place to stay. I really love the interior! Even though I stayed for a short time, the place made me want to revisit; cause I haven't had a chance to experience the cafe downstair.

Stayed here for a visit to the expo. The location is excellent. 5 min walk to the chuo line which brings you to the expo in 15 mins. Place had self service check in. Everything was clean. Bed comfortable. Only downside was that shower was on ground floor and room was on 3rd but honestly not a big problem.

All hostels in Kobe

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel has really nice interior in what feels like a euro-Japan mix, nice kitchen, small sofa area where you can sit and read or put up your laptop, very charming bathroom with Japanese bathtub. The bunk beds are big and spacious with lots of room for your luggage. The neighbourhood is nice with lots of coffee shops and restaurants, about a 30min walk from the big shopping district.

    Easily in the top 3 of all the hostels I stayed at. Lovely vibe, cool staff and guests, very clean and charming hostel (I actually really liked the train noises). Private rooms are spacious and relatively cheap. This is what every hostel should aspire to be
