Hostels in Kobe

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 beautiful terrace and the nice staff

Really good recommendations about the local area. Friendly staff and cozy room.

The stay was very comfortable, the owner was very kind and let me leave my luggage there for another day for my daytrip

Location close to several metro lines. The property is very clean. The owner is a super helpful Chinese lady. She learns Japanese and always tries to help. She also offers coffee and real Chinese tea in the morning. I work remotely while traveling, and this place is perfect for online workers. It is quiet most of the time, it has proper working space, hot water to make yourself a tea, or a microwave for your lunch while working.

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.

A nice, affordable hostel in a good location.

I stayed in the futon beds room, which was very spacious and pretty. I enjoyed the well equipped kitchen and the facilities in General, the design, the location... Basically everything.

incredible online service with helpful staff reply message immediately and really early self check-in started from 00:00 on the booking day!!! though we never meet the staff during this stay, the instructions are very clear for every entrance to each area, and don’t forget to fill up the form of your stay. 2 mins. straight walk from JR NISHIKUJO station exit with elevator. we got a bunk beds room for two persons, with sink, refrigerator, microwave and desk inside. sockets and night light at every bed. well cleaning, well air conditioning, well equipped, even got free washing machine and dryer in the shower room! it supposed to be full booking but we rarely met others in the hostel, everyone keeps quiet there! it pops up oneday after a long search for the stay in OSAKA, that’s why i think it must be a hidden list on websites and we got luck this time!

Clean, comfortable, location is quiet, not far from station
