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.

The atmosphere was really chill and welcoming. The host is super nice and I felt very welcome. They have a good kitchen area and cool and cozy rooms. In the evening everyone got together in the little bar area downstairs and had some drinks. Check-in was simple and even featured a YouTube video explaining everything.

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.

Very nice, quiet and modern Hostel. Everything was very clean. The entrance area with the small terrace is very cozy and invites you to chill some minutes and drink a coffee before you go out exploring Osaka. For Coffee Connaisseurs, the Marzocco machine is incredible ;) The JR Station is a 2min walk from the hostel. My girlfriend appreciated that there are separate shower rooms for Womens that you can lock with a Code. The Two Washing Machines you can freely use are an absolute plus.

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
