Reviews of T and K Hostel Kobe Sannomiya East 2 stars

A nice, affordable hostel in a good location.

Good location, friendly staff, all normal facilities available

Many people in the same room, bead was creaky,

I only stayed overnight but the location is great (easy access to the train) and the price was affordable. The hostel also had a small kitchen and the staff was really friendly and helpful.

The shower area has some mats that looked a little messy and the stairs that lead to the top bunk were a bit uncomfortable (wooden), but honestly, little to no complaints

It was good when compared to youth hostels in mainland China; when compared with other good hostels in Japan, this one is not very good, in quality, cleanliness and money values.

Nice facilities, bathroom & tub in room, staff were very kind & welcoming. Conveniently located.

The futons were incredibly thin, even when I stacked mine & my child’s and we slept together it still felt like we were sleeping on a thick blanket on hard floor. We’re used to sleeping on tatami mats & futons and generally love doing so. This was not the case here. The most upsetting part of the stay was the noise though. Beginning at 6am the doors of the other rooms kept opening and closing loudly - over & over & over - with full squealing sounds- until 8am when we finally just left to get breakfast. The door hinges need to be greased. We’re assuming the staff was cleaning rooms for those 2 hours - hence the frequent in and out. I’d strongly suggest they begin cleaning at a later hour… or folks who have a late night choose a different hotel.

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.

Nothing really.

It's near to the station

The room is small , floor is not that clean, showers not in the same location as the room, no tv and too expensive for 1 night

location is good, and stuff is nice～

Staff

Bathrooms

Excellent location and value. The staff is friendly.

The traditional Japanese bedroom was a bit basic. No mattress was provided, only a duvet and bed sheets. You literally sleep on the tatami directly.

Good location, easy to get food, convenient store, izakaya, pharmacy, etc.

Tap water very cold (at basin outside toilet).
