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.

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!!!

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.

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!

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
