Many people in the same room, bead was creaky,

Good location, friendly staff, all normal facilities available

Stayed in May 2025

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

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

Excellent location and value. The staff is friendly.

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

I wanted to rent a bike but they did not have one, despite it being listed in their services.

I just stayed one night, as part of my Rokko-san hike/Arima onsen+Nada sake factory tour. The room was spacious, which I highly appreciated. Even if it could fit many people, there was more than enough space for everyone. The staff was friendly.

This place used to be a school in my opinion so there's something in details it might not be that appropriate. I feel like, I'm sleeping in a dancing classroom.

The bunk bed side guards on first level, completely unnecessary, limits the space to roll around (I roll around in my sleep) that woke me up on both nights and because of it I couldnt get a decent sleep

I like pretty much everything about the stay

Stayed in May 2023

There is no elevator. There is still a lot of dust even though the staff clean it daily.

Spacious shower room and bedroom of 4 beds. Staff helps to carry our heavy luggage up 2 floors because there is no elevator. The staff are friendly, kind and helpful. They are always on stand by to attend your needs during reception hours!

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.

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.

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

Nothing really.

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.

The creakiest bed I have ever slept in. I felt horrible climbing into it, but also every single small movement I made while turning in the bed would creak the bed very loudly, surely enough to wake up the person under me, if not everyone in the dorm. I felt guilty trying to move at all. I could hear the other beds creaking too. Bed was hard to make yourself on the second level. In low cost dorms like this, the bed is the most important part, so the creakiness is a deal breaker. Toilets and showers were divided by gender on different floors, but the explanation was only verbal, so it felt a bit complicated.

Very kind and cheerful staff, helped me with my luggage and showed me around. Close to the station. Common areas were nice.

Nothing.

Loved this hostel. The couple that runs this place are amazing people. They were very accommodating and were very patient when I tried to speak some Japanese with them. This place is a good alternative to staying in Osaka, as osaka hotels can be expensive and booked up. If we return to Osaka area, we will 100% stay here again. Beds are comfortable, very spacious dorms, kitchen has everything you need to cook, and plenty of bathrooms and showers. Enjoyed our stay very much
