I was able to make my own breakfast. Since I am studying Japanese, the staff were also very friendly giving me instructions in Japanese of how to use things as well as giving me ideas for buying miyages or even places to eat. I also had great opportunity to talk with other japanese guests.

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

The vibe was really cozy. 😊I liked it a lot. Very relaxed. I could put my bike outside and, at night, the gate is locked which is great for peace of mind. The owner is friendly and let me stay another night. The room is was also very cozy, very homily which is what I prefer compared to sterile perfection in hotels. Overall great place. (🚲Also I survived the journey to the campsite⛺, there has been no snow❄ so far but thank you for warning me 😀🚲)

the staff was very nice, and I loved all the cute notes throughout the hostel. excellent location as well. make sure you arrive early, because beds are first come-first serve when it comes to choosing which bed you want. I arrived right when check-in starts and got an amazingly comfortable bed!

All hostels in Kobe

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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
