Reviews of Hostel Yume-Nomad Kobe 1 stars

The stay was amazing, the atmosphere is like in a family, the staff is very kind

This hostel has tons of character. Wandering the different hallways and just looking at the walls is very fun. The room is interesting- it's 2 people in a room with a small gap allowing you to see the other 2 people in the room next to you. The staff are kind, check-in was easy, the location is solid with a cool walk up a hill to arrive at the hostel. I did not try anything, but you get a small discount at their cafe.

No lockers except for a tiny safe box for valuables. You need your own lock.

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!

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!

The staff is so nice and everything was very familiar

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.

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.

The dorm I stayed in has only one bunk bed.

Nothing.

Affordable, the room was perfectly clean and comfortable

The main desk is never really manned, the shared space is pretty messy and the location is in the red light district- not unsafe but definitely feels seedy.

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

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.

Love the large bed room and balcony. Nice kitchen and common space!

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.

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.

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.

I had to wait 1h for someone to say me how to do the self check-in Cold cold cold, everywhere Bad bed isolation

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.

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.

Just wow. Hands down the most fun stay during our trip to Japan. BRILLIANT value for money, and super close to not one, but three stations. Tons of eateries nearby, my favourite were the stand-up udon shops! The rooms were tidy, and the bathrooms were clean, but what really sold the place was the common area- it felt really homely, and cheerful. It was such a good home base, to go out and about to explore- I'd love to come back to visit again sometime!

We did sleep in the same sheets for 5? days, which did get a little bit crumbly- no biggie though! My other suggestion to other travelers would be to bring earplugs/an eye mask because you're sleeping in a shared space :) (there was a dj/rave going on our first night of the stay, we learned the hard way)

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.

The public space is spacious，stuff is welcome

the house is wood structure so you can hear everyone walking in the hallway. besides our room is near the toilet，the whole night we could hear other people went to toilet… and the doors are so old and they also cause big sounds. we reserved the room with a bathroom，but actually it is just a single bathroom without toilet…Maybe I got the wrong means because usually Japanese hotel always use bathroom to represent bathroom+toilet, so for some other customers in the future，if you reserve this, please remember you also need go to the toilet outside the room.

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.

A cosy place to stay, nice common areas and chill vibes. Very good location and staff is kind.
