Nothing ;-)

Breakfast and the host were both super.

It is a bit inconvenient if you stay here long term because the toilet is shared between both boys and girls

The location is great

But if you have a bad knee , is not suitable to stay as the stair is really really steep. And you need to bend down and up off the bed which I didn't consider when I booked it . Also accepting customers have to be more generous. I don't feel value as a customer. They only have coffee powder but I think they are trying to save the budget , they doesn't ready cream or milk for the coffee.

I like the staff . Very nice people and nice to talk to them. I believe is a bunch of young students who try to run this hostel. Experience a traditional style of bedroom. Luckily it is only for a night stay .

Nothing, only note stairs are a bit steep if you struggle with steps or have big case but staff offer to help

Up a hill so tiring work dragging up a suitcase but it’s only for five minutes.

The location close to Shin-Kobe station and the ropeway to the top of the herb garden.

Very close to Shin Kobe station, and walkable to the main tourist attractions. It's a old japanese house but well maintained, bed was comfortable and there was a locker provided for valuables. Well equipped kitchen. Onigiri making at breakfast was fun and the staff was nice.

Stayed in February 2025

The room and the whole building was FREEEEEEEEZING...

The vibe of Kobe is just wonderful. You will have free breakfast every morning. Even if you don't know how to make rice ball yourself, don't worry! There is always a staff there to teach you. The room was very quiet and people are friendly.

I think because it’s an old or traditional Japanese house, it tends to get really cold at night, but after turning on the heater, it gets much better.

The area is really close to Nunobiki Herb Garden. The bed was super comfy, and the place was very clean. The onigiri-making activity was really fun too! xD

The location is great and the facility is very clean and comfortable.

The futon(?) bed was a tad too hard.

Really loved the DIY onigiri for breakfast! And the staff was very friendly. The hostel itself was very cosy too.

Good location (very near the train station and bus terminal), very clean facilities, accommodating and helpful hosts, get to learn a bit of Japanese food culture with musubi making, value for money

Large room, everything very clean and the onigiri breakfast was a nice bonus. Clean and comfy communal areas. We arrived late and self check-in was very easy.

Very nice staff and sparkling clean! Making my breakfast was fun :) It's also located perfectly for taking the shinkansen.

I loved the atmosphere with the staff, very familiar. Also a highlight i the location just on the feet of the great hiking trails im the kobe hills. House is nice in japanese style and in a quiet neighbourhood.

The staires are very narrow, so if you're doing self check in late at night it can be a struggle to do it quietly. Some of the doors are also a bit small for anyone over. 5'11. Even so, the good absolutely outweighs the bad!

The guesthouse was an absolute delight! The rooms were traditional and beautiful, the host was a pleasure, the bathrooms were clean and so well stocked, and making the onigiri in the morning was such a pleasant way to start the day! The host walks you through it, and you get to enjoy your breakfast either by the incredible waterfalls, or with some wonderful smooth jazz. It's also such a convenient location to both attractions and busses/trains!
