The way you access the place is pretty unclear, since I had to retry multiple times until the PIN code opened the door, and the door itself unlocks for 1 second. The dormitory itself is clean but I stumbled upon a leaking pipe next to my bed which was not what I expected. Only one shower and to access it you gotta go across a kitchen. No real main room to speak of, so to exchange with guests you will hang out in the kitchen.

Close to useful spots such as the subway, a shopping steet, and nice restaurants. Clean enough.

Wondered why no smoking on the roof

Pleasant hostel

The facility is on the budget too. there wasn’t any light at the front door, if you check in late, it’s hard to find it, annual doubt if it is closed or not because there’s no light at all. Full with kitchen smell. It’s a gender mixed hostel, you can’t expect too much with the budget. But I wouldn’t expect to you as staff at all. It’s not very helpful. When you look at the picture, it will say it’s a Japanese style, with wooden floor and wooden bed. But if you think carefully, it is a hostel with lots of people, when people moving around, going up and down the bed, you will hear all the noise. Well, I mentioned they are on budget, I mean the air circulation is bad, AC wasn’t on when I got there not even the first floor, which is the lobby or the common area the kitchen. The window as old style, you can hear everything from street. But it’s a hostel after all, you can’t expect anything. Good luck on your stay.

Good price. The facility have all the basic thing you need. If you travel solo and on a budget, it will save you lots of money.

Like most hostels, some of the other people staying there had absolutely no consideration of others. I don’t understand how people can stay in hostels and somehow think they are the only ones there. People rent beds to sleep…. But there’s Always someone who doesn’t seem to care and wakes everyone up by being very loud very early in the morning. Very inconsiderate and Lame! Obviously this is not the facilities problem, but a problem with people who can not think. The futons were a bit thin like many Japanese hostels.

Nice big shower and tub, although there is only 1. So you may be waiting for a while to shower. Full kitchen with nice table. Waking up to the smell of fresh donuts was very very nice!

We stayed just one night in a group of 7 and the space was very tight and there were a lot of stairs.

It was clean and cute.

The downside of any public hostel is someone may snore in your room. I’m a light sleeper so I recommend ear plugs.

The design of the place was very cute and the staff were very friendly.

The kitchen was not very clean or organised, would have wished for some more things like tea, salt and pepper (as we europeans are used to) The door on the first floor (Luna or Lana) is squeeky as you enter and leave the room. Also the sink where you wash your hands and brush your teeth is an open room and facing towards the bedroom. So whenever someone used the water its quiet loud and depending on how much noise the individual makes it can be annoying.

The stay was good and the check in really easy. I arrived very late and was happy about the implemented system. The bed was comfortable and the place had great wifi. Bathtub and shower are there, washing machine and kitchen as well.

The general level of cleaning was a little below my standards, a lot of hair and dust around. There was not space to store my bag, except than on the ground. The bed was quite uncomfortable with a very thin matress (maybe this is just the japanese style to which I'm not used).

Very close to Sannomiya center, handy to hang out.

The system for "claiming" your bed is a little unclear. Both me and my bed neighbour had our stuff moved from our bed when we stayed there for consecutive nights.

Nice hostel feel, I was able to meet some interesting people in my stay.

The 5pm check in is so late. I feel like it could be earlier since the check out is 10am. It’s hard for travellers who arrive in the morning

Lovely little hostel met some amazing people. It’s super clean and really homely, the kitchen is well equipped. Super clean felt right at home, it’s just minutes walk from the trains so really easy to get around Kobe from here. Would definitely recommend!

The dormitory room was really cold. Even with extra blanket I was cold. Shower didn't really work well

Cozy hostel Nice hosts Free tea and breakfast

The stairs up. The unclearness of whether one could sit without checking from others. Not realising who was staff n who wasn’t. 2 nd night thought only person in. The video to watch via YouTube nt a fan- but think it’s personal.

The welcome I got once I found it. Close by so many stations n walkable from the main station. Close to the harbour n the most expensive shops. Without one knowing. The donut smell that wakes one up. The welcome ones there- even walked to be shown places to eat.

Only one shower for the whole hostel, also the curtains are quite simple and thin and it is quite noisy in the bedroom

Lovely decoration, very nice host, easy self-check in with video and sweet café downstairs

- A lot of stairs (if you have problem walking it can be an issue) - It can be a bit noisy at night when people come back late. not all beds have wall/curtain to block sounds

- Helpful and warm staff - Nice bar area to chat and have a drink - Tatami room and comfy beds - Pretty good location, not far from city centre, trainstations and kobe pier

The hostel may not be that economic during holidays and weekends; weekdays would be better. Besides, for the self check-in system at the entrance, it was still quite hard to operate although Sei gave detailed instructions in advance...

The owner Sei was pretty kind, who replied message online in time, and could speak and switch between Chinese, English and Japanese freely. Fortunately I met and had a very nice chat with Sei and (probably?) her father, who gave me helpful suggestions on tourist attractions both in Kobe and Osaka. Also the hostel's location is quite good, which is in the vicinity of Kobe Station. Would stay the next time I travel to Kobe.

I walked about 30 minutes when i wanted to go for a night out. but then there is a train close by that ends at 12am

The owner of the place is a lovely lady that always seems out the best for the guests. She helped me get a booking for a discount with a local app

The lock is not very easy to use for the first time, but once you know it, you won’t find any problem.

Everything is well equipped and the host is super nice and helpful. The recommendation helps me a lot and the bedroom is also cozy enough.
