The hostel is located above a bakery in a large room which doubles as a breakfast/dinning room. I didn't notice any kitchen/cooking facilities because I didn't need them but you can buy produce from the bakery and eat it in the room which is exceptionally well decorated, it was a pity I didn't have time to spend longer in it, the owner had a fine taste in furnishings and music. The rooms - I was in a female only dormitory and the weather was just right for the netted windows to be left open the whole night - sometimes it becomes a bit noisy but not to the extent to keep us awake. The AC was blasting cold air straight towards my bed so I told everyone that it can't be used overnight, I don't know how they manage during the hot, steamy summers, I was there in October. The showers and toilets, everything worked, very clean, absolutely no problems.

Really great location, close to the train station. Price was affordable, staff and owners were super helpful and kind. Space was very clean and unique and there were a number of common areas to hang out in, both inside and outside, which made the space super comfy. Rooms were quiet and you have quite a good amount of privacy. Overall quite spacious, quiet and friendly hostel with good staff, easy check-in and unique design. Would definitely recommend.

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.

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!

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
