There wasn’t a lot to do in the immediate area, but it’s only a few stops from Sannomiya station so it’s still pretty convenient.

The staff was really nice and the atmosphere was very comfortable!

None so far.

It was my first time booking and staying in a guesthouse and with roommates (there are 6 of us in 1 room). I thought i wont be comfortable but I was. My roommates were respectful we don’t make loud noise and it was safe! Not as bad as i thought! It’s a simple place to stay and clean and I am really comfortable with the bed it’s surprisingly spacious. Will definitely book again!

This guesthouse is really cosy, clean, modern and confortable. We loved the location near the train station and near a really nice local market. I recommend this place!

the steep stairs and small bathrooms/bedrooms with shared showers

guests, cute style, the workers

Stayed in February 2025

The stairs to each floor are very narrow and steep, basically ladders. Most youngins won't have any trouble scaling them but I wanted to warn my fellow adventurous elders, just so they know what to expect.

Tidy and stylish. Great staff. Good showers. Great kitchen. Nice neighborhood.

Nothing, it was great.

Amazing property. The location, between both Ōjikōen station and Nada station is fantastic. The exterior and interior design of the house is super cozy and welcoming. The first floor homey lobby is great for just relaxing there but also great opportunity to get to know the staff and other guests. Comes with a coin laundry and dryer, no complaints at all. The rooms were good, a desk, a bed, an ac, and privacy. No complaints

The very steep narrow stairs - it's an old Japanese building, so they're more like a ladder and I fell down them at one point. Pretty scary. On the plus side, the staff helped by carrying my luggage up and down for me.

The staff are lovely and this is a well located hostel with a really chilled atmosphere. The rooms are clean and comfortable.

If anyone is above 180cm in height, definitely have to be careful of the door frames and beams. But this is a small inconvenience compared to all the other advantages!

The staff treated us with courtesy and paid attention to every detail. Sometimes they even anticipated our needs. The common dining and activity area is cozy and homely. The toilets, sheets towels were clean as can be. The kitchen is well equipped and well used (theres usually a queue). Toilet seats have warmers in them. Being next to a train track didnt bother me much because i sleep after train services stop and wake up same time they start the next day. Its situated nicely between 2 railway lines (JR and regional). Within walking distance to many local breakfast venues amd a shopping street as well.

Staff was really passionate on sharing the charm of the Nada area, made me know and love the place more

The bathrooms could use a bit of a refresh.

A fantastic location next to a train station with direct connections to downtown Kobe, Osaka and Kyoto. There's also a bus stop close by with connections to the major sights in Kobe. The staff at Maya was very friendly and helpful. Overall the atmosphere is relaxing and inviting. The beds are comfortable and there's a good amount of storage for your bags and items.

Everything is perfect

The staff are very nice and friendly:-) Everything is perfect! My friend has large and heavy luggage,and the stairs are quite steep,and a female staff(sorry,I forgot to ask her name)helped us to take the luggage up and down.We really appreciate for that. It is really good to stay at Maya guesthouse! It gave me nice memories and talked with random strangers at nearby restaurants.Really interesting! I would come back again and again!

Very steep stairs - staff will help you with luggage if asked 3f toilets are a bit cramped and 2f/3f toilets do not have bidets

Clean, comfortable, good atmosphere, staff very present and accommodating (English + Japanese!), convenient location (near ojikouen station on the hankyuu and jr nada, only one stop away from sannomiya), would have liked to have hung out at night if i wasn't so tired

Beware, this is not a hotel. You can hear other people, even if you stay in a private room. It is an old building, after all. Then again, that's what attracts sociable people, so you will be hard-pressed to not find atleast someone to make connections with.

I'll tell you what. This guesthouse oozes personality. The hosts are amazing, every single one of them. You could say they made it feel like home, but back home you don't get nearly as much warmness and kindness as they provide. The interior is full of character, it's all DIY, everything looks handmade by the people who run the guesthouse. Anyhow, the beds/sheets/showers and all the important things are super clean, the hosts take care of you and you can have a very nice coffee. I would not have stayed as long as i did in Kobe if it were not for guesthouse Maya. Thank you to all the staff, you were able to change my mood for the better for the length of the stay and most likely until i visit again in a year or a few. ❤️

I like Kobe Maya Guesthouse with its well situated location from 5-7mins walkable from Nada Station. Surroundings are quiet, but if you mind the train sound in the night time, please choose the other guesthouses (which I do not have any issue with this). Well maintain and everything needed are provided. Check-in is relatively easy. Maya is very thoughtful, if you're traveler and wanted to go Mountain Maya, you may check with them for the complimentary pass. They will guide you through and it's penniless for the absolutely beautiful scenic view on top of Mount. Maya! Thank you, Maya! Would like to be back soon~
