I loved my stay! Naho gave me a wonderful welcome to Kobe with a lot of excellent local advice. The atmosphere in the shared space was convivial. The spaces were cosy with creative interior details. Shower pressure was excellent. Loved the roof deck; its fun to watch the Kobe trains go past! Easy walk to train stations and local shopping street Suidosuji.

The hostel is located above a bakery in a large room which doubles as a breakfast/dinning room. I didn't notice any kitchen/cooking facilities because I didn't need them but you can buy produce from the bakery and eat it in the room which is exceptionally well decorated, it was a pity I didn't have time to spend longer in it, the owner had a fine taste in furnishings and music. The rooms - I was in a female only dormitory and the weather was just right for the netted windows to be left open the whole night - sometimes it becomes a bit noisy but not to the extent to keep us awake. The AC was blasting cold air straight towards my bed so I told everyone that it can't be used overnight, I don't know how they manage during the hot, steamy summers, I was there in October. The showers and toilets, everything worked, very clean, absolutely no problems.

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.

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.

The bar/cafe area downstairs was very nice and very welcoming. As was the owner who was really kind and would always say goodbye or hello with a big smile on his face every time i would enter / leave. The room was nice and clean and the beds were good with a nice warm duvet and a big thick blanket in case you got cold. The guesthouse was located just outside the main area of kobe and located between two stations for easy access to other parts of the city.

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
