It's a little distant from the centre of Kobe, but there are two metro stations nearby so you can still arrive there within 15 minutes. The showers are small, and the shower curtain kept blowing inwards!

Super comfortable bed, lovely cafe area at the front, clean facilities and quirky decor! The staff are especially kind, and helped me when I wasn't feeling well!

sometimes even the staff is unaware of many facilities there as they are mostly volunteers. overall there is a cramped feeling to the common area.

We were 2 people and even though they say its in a 4 bunk bedded dorm, it sort of was a room for us, with only a hole in the wall seperating it from the other room and making it a one full dorm. there was ample space inside the room and we lived there comfortably for 6 nights. very near to a metro station and there is a familymart just opposite.

Nothing.

The dorm I stayed in has only one bunk bed.

The room's were a bit awkward for solo travelers since it is just one single bunk bed in each room. so you're a bit intimate with your roommate. There is also a hole carved through the wall that connects with the other room. It is like a strange window low to the ground that you could easily walk through if you wanted to say hello to your neighbors. It's a good place for if you're with others especially if you know the people next door could be fun but I felt a little exposed as a solo female traveler.

The staff was very friendly and helpful in navigating everything. Plus it was close to the station and near some good food options!

Private toilets would be the only thing I could think of to improve the experience, but to be honest it wasnt a problem, and if you dont mind sharing some facilities its fine.

As we had booked the 2 larger rooms for myself & my family, we also had our own bathrooms, so only had to share toilets. The staff were very welcoming, and helpful, and as this was a hostel, there were good communal spaces we could all use, incouding the kitchen. This meant we could make snacks and breakfast etc, (which helps with keeping costs down) and lots of free tea & coffee! Excellent value for money compared to `budget` hotels which have no facilities.

Located in an accessible part of the city. The place was clean, but having dedicated staff to always keep an eye out on cleanliness would’ve been better. Hot water in the showers are a gamble; sometimes there’s hot water, sometimes not.

The room itself was a decent size for a couple and had two comfortable chairs and a nice sized vanity table and mirror however the bed was hard and meant we had to layer blankets on top to soften it. The windows were thin and meant that we could hear the generator clearly from outside. There were also large marks and some holes in the walls.

We liked its unique interior and outdoor spaces. The space was clean and funky and it was a bit different from what you’d expect in Japan, which is fun.

Excellent layout, so much common space for hanging out. It felt like you were away from the city once you stepped inside. Loads of space in the double room I booked.

Stayed in January 2025

Something to be aware of, is that the hostel is located pretty close and next to some red light district establishments. It did not feel unsafe. The bed was very uncomfortable.

Great common areas, clean bathrooms and kitchen. The decorations are beautiful. The subway station is super close which was great.

communication. check in isn't until 4. i sent a message using this app asking if i could leave my luggage and nobody responded. there is a phone at reception to call for help, but both days i tried it didn't work. while it was frustrating and felt hopeless, i would still stay again and can easily recommend it. not at all social while i was there. this place has so much charm and thoughtfulness in details. i really wanted to learn more about it and the folks behind it.

super cute accommodations and a great kitchen and lovely shared common spaces. it was close to trains in a neighborhood that didn't feel super touristy, which i appreciated. there are helpful notes around everywhere, which is great. the water pressure was excellent and i had no trouble with hot water, which i noticed in another review. oh and the pillow was amazing!

Good location near stations. Toilets clean and lock well. Rooms spacious and quirky. Social, friendly place. Really nice outdoor area to chill.

I didn't see showers, so you should go to an onsen or sento to bathe (which is fun anyway).

Backpackery social vibes. Decent location. Can self check-in and self check-out if nobody is there.

Our triple room was quite small, and the bathroom wasn’t that pleasant.

Good location and nice feel to the hostel with a cafe attached.

It has very specific athmosphere and design - very cool place.

Like many japanese houses, you will hear other people.

I was not expecting to have such a big and cosy room when I booked it. The room had a double-bunk bed. It also had a small area with a sofa and table. It felt like home. There are clothes strings outside so you do not need to use the drier after washing them.

the location, in one of Kobe’s most notorious red light districts was…problematic.

Bohemian, quirky. comfortable futon, private bath, excellent value.

You have to go up the stairs to get to the property

Really nice hostel vibes with nice common areas that make easy to interact with other travellers. They provide free coffee and tea

Stayed in April 2024

Stayed in the double room with private shower room - bathroom in the room is very old & emitted a mouldy smell (may be inevitable part of the older building)

Characterfully-aged accommodation in Kobe, loved the deco & personal touches around the accommodation. Shared kitchen & cafe on site. Staff were very friendly. Suited for travellers on a budget with an appreciation for a homely aesthetic , not for those looking for a flash, new place. Family mart is just across the road.

The room was very good and the beds are comfortable.

You could hear EVERYTHING that went on outside the room. With the common area/kitchen out there, it meant people were hanging out in the evening.

A friend recommended this hostel, and I was not disappointed. It has such a great atmosphere and the decor is so cute. My bed was huge! And the room was light and nice. I did wish there was more hooks and shelves for storage in the room. The area is pretty nice, and public transport is close by.

Stayed in March 2024

Far from city center where most bars and restaurants are.

Cute and funky decor, friendly staff, and adequate living space. Eclectic vibe.

You have to climb a lot of stairs to get there, I had big suitcase, and was lucky that other guest help me carry it. It was a little bit hard to find.

There are smaller room with sink, and space to chill. Also you can go on tarrace.

a little far from the city center. the place was a little noisy by kids, but only during the day, at night was quiet.

Was clean, good vibes.

Nothing

The hostel is very beautiful and cozy with artistic interior design. I really enjoyed my stay here even if I didn’t get to meet the host. (Everything was arranged on the phone) The room was very comfortable and clean. The bed was super comfy and I would have loved to stay here longer!
