This is my favourite place to stay in Kobe. I love the location, the staff and the feel of the place. So comfortable and relaxing, with an interesting collection of people. The staff are welcoming and friendly, with real advice about the local area and lots of experience making the most of the quiet charm of Kobe. I cannot wait to return.

I really love this coffee hostel and this is my second time staying here. I was very surprised to see such an exaggerated 1-point rating. Firstly, Japan’s safety is widely recognized by travelers worldwide, and this guest’s personal feelings cannot change the fact that Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. Secondly, in a shared dormitory like a youth hostel, it’s reasonable for the host to ask guests not to lock the door from the inside, as this would prevent other roommates from entering. I feel this guest’s statement could lead to serious misunderstandings. Thirdly, as a shared dormitory, privacy is naturally affected, but that’s the nature of a youth hostel. It seems this guest doesn’t understand the concept of a youth hostel, and I suggest they choose such accommodations more carefully in the future. Additionally, the guest mentioned there was no space to organize luggage, which is completely contrary to my experience. Every dormitory room has reasonable space for luggage storage. Lastly, the guest hinted at the host’s nationality, suggesting that people from a certain country should avoid staying here. While this is their freedom of expression, I personally find it inappropriate. The café on the first floor is a great space for interaction, where you can meet young people from all over the world and have meaningful exchanges, which is one of the joys of traveling. The host is a friendly writer, knowledgeable, fluent in English, and very willing to engage with guests. Therefore, I believe this is a hostel worth staying at for a few days. In the future, whenever I return to this area, I will choose to stay here again.

The location was very central and walkable to many tourist destinations in the city. The room itself were pretty comfortable. The breakfast exceeded our expectations. The shared spaces of the hostel were also very nice and easy to meet new friends. The staff was really helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this place, such a good value for money.

I recently had an amazing experience at a hostel I stayed at and I wanted to share my thoughts. From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The dorm room I stayed in was clean and comfortable. I also appreciated the thoughtful touches like individual power outlets for each bed. One of the highlights of my stay was the hostel's social activities. They organized a cafe at night which was a great way to meet other travellers. I also enjoyed hanging out in the common room and chatting with other guests over a cup of tea. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at this hostel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and sociable place to stay. The staff were top-notch and went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time. I can't wait to come back!

Stayed here for a visit to the expo. The location is excellent. 5 min walk to the chuo line which brings you to the expo in 15 mins. Place had self service check in. Everything was clean. Bed comfortable. Only downside was that shower was on ground floor and room was on 3rd but honestly not a big problem.

All hostels in Kobe

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The hostel has really nice interior in what feels like a euro-Japan mix, nice kitchen, small sofa area where you can sit and read or put up your laptop, very charming bathroom with Japanese bathtub. The bunk beds are big and spacious with lots of room for your luggage. The neighbourhood is nice with lots of coffee shops and restaurants, about a 30min walk from the big shopping district.

Easily in the top 3 of all the hostels I stayed at. Lovely vibe, cool staff and guests, very clean and charming hostel (I actually really liked the train noises). Private rooms are spacious and relatively cheap. This is what every hostel should aspire to be
