The location was very central and walkable to many tourist destinations in the city. The room itself were pretty comfortable. The breakfast exceeded our expectations. The shared spaces of the hostel were also very nice and easy to meet new friends. The staff was really helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this place, such a good value for money.

Amazing, kind and helpful host. Might be the best hostel I’ve stayed at, rooms were so clean and modern and the host was very understanding of me sleeping in due to a sleep condition. He was very helpful with storing luggage and kept all the facilities clean. 10/10

I stayed here for a week as a solo traveller. The owner is kind and helpful, letting me borrow an adapter when I forgot to bring mine. I was happy with the facilities available and the cleanliness of the room. I liked that there were both curtains and sliding panels for the beds. The owner is studying Japanese to communicate better with native guests. Please consider this hostel if you're visiting Kobe!

The accommodation was superb. Highly recommended for solo travellers hoping to experience a hostel-like environment. People are friendly, especially the owner who is super helpful. There is self check-in, so one can check-in anytime which works great if your flight is delayed (the password for the front door entrance gets communicated a day before your arrival via email). The bathroom and kitchen facility is nice. Here's hoping to come again soon for a longer trip.

It's got really good energy and you can tell it's a family business run with love. The bed and the private bath were clean, spacious, comfy. The shared kitchen amenities and free coffee/tea were great and lots of stuff to cook and eat with. So many shared spaced intricately decorated and lots of curious objects and books to inspect. It was a great atmosphere, the location is triangulated by three nearby metro stations, and lots of shops, combini, and restaurants nearby. Overall the place was quiet and tidy despite it being a hostel and I didn't even have to see the host at check-in or check-out as we did everything over the phone from a landline I found when I got there, which made everything feel very smooth and easy. Would definitely stay 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.

Although no permanent staff all arrangement in line were fine as were the codes. Clear with large communal area although didn’t feel a hostel where folk socialised. Bedroom was clear and had sink fridge and microwave. Showers and toilets always clean. Right next to J loop station so easy to connect around Osaka and doorstep for Universal. Would definitely return

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
