Hostels in Kobe

I really love this coffee hostel and this is my second time staying here. I was very surprised to see such an exaggerated 1-point rating. Firstly, Japan’s safety is widely recognized by travelers worldwide, and this guest’s personal feelings cannot change the fact that Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. Secondly, in a shared dormitory like a youth hostel, it’s reasonable for the host to ask guests not to lock the door from the inside, as this would prevent other roommates from entering. I feel this guest’s statement could lead to serious misunderstandings. Thirdly, as a shared dormitory, privacy is naturally affected, but that’s the nature of a youth hostel. It seems this guest doesn’t understand the concept of a youth hostel, and I suggest they choose such accommodations more carefully in the future. Additionally, the guest mentioned there was no space to organize luggage, which is completely contrary to my experience. Every dormitory room has reasonable space for luggage storage. Lastly, the guest hinted at the host’s nationality, suggesting that people from a certain country should avoid staying here. While this is their freedom of expression, I personally find it inappropriate. The café on the first floor is a great space for interaction, where you can meet young people from all over the world and have meaningful exchanges, which is one of the joys of traveling. The host is a friendly writer, knowledgeable, fluent in English, and very willing to engage with guests. Therefore, I believe this is a hostel worth staying at for a few days. In the future, whenever I return to this area, I will choose to stay here again.

This is my favourite place to stay in Kobe. I love the location, the staff and the feel of the place. So comfortable and relaxing, with an interesting collection of people. The staff are welcoming and friendly, with real advice about the local area and lots of experience making the most of the quiet charm of Kobe. I cannot wait to return.

Very clean and confortable place

Clean hostel near to Kiyomizudera

The staff and location were both great

Centrally located, near a market with lots to do.

The staff were very kind and they cleaned for hours every day.There is Ikuta Shrine right in front of you, and there are Kobe Sannomiya Station, a supermarket, and Kita Noijin Khan within a 5-minute distance, so it was good to go around.

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.

Location is perfect to access everywhere in the city. Hotel is clean, rooms are comfy with everything you need. You don't see the staff often but it's always a pleasure to interact with them, as they're very helpful (and speak english !)

Clean, comfortable, location is quiet, not far from station
