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.

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

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.

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.

incredible online service with helpful staff reply message immediately and really early self check-in started from 00:00 on the booking day!!! though we never meet the staff during this stay, the instructions are very clear for every entrance to each area, and don’t forget to fill up the form of your stay. 2 mins. straight walk from JR NISHIKUJO station exit with elevator. we got a bunk beds room for two persons, with sink, refrigerator, microwave and desk inside. sockets and night light at every bed. well cleaning, well air conditioning, well equipped, even got free washing machine and dryer in the shower room! it supposed to be full booking but we rarely met others in the hostel, everyone keeps quiet there! it pops up oneday after a long search for the stay in OSAKA, that’s why i think it must be a hidden list on websites and we got luck this time!

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.

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
