The staff was really nice and helpful. The dorm room was comfortable. And since there were doors for each 2 bed compartments, it felt private despite sharing the room with people.

Lack of restroom and washroom which is really inconvenient especially it is mixed dormitory. The room was really narrowed so I don't have a choice but to open my luggage in the middle room near the door. My comforter also had wierd smell and my legs really itchy where the comforter touched my skin. Since most of the renter with us were men so I don't have a choice but to used the comforter to cover my legs.

I'm budget traveler so yeah one of the reason I consider this hostel due to it's price. Location is close to train station which is really nice.

I was surprised by how cramped the room felt, particularly since it’s situated at the end. It can be quite inconvenient needing to ask other guests to step aside just to pass through.

I really appreciate the location, as it's conveniently close to the train station, a grocery store, and a hundred yen shop. The clean amenities make for a pleasant stay, and you have the option to leave your baggage before check-in, which is incredibly helpful. The owner/host is exceptionally kind; despite some language barriers due to her being Chinese, she effectively uses a translation app to ensure clear communication

Staff are friendly! Bed and pillow is really nice too Stairs are relatively steep though, so be careful if you have huge and heavy luggages… Isn’t the best convenient location (a few stops away from Sannomiya), but for this price I guess it’s okay? There’s two Family Marts nearby so that’s nice

The only common area/kitchen is downstairs in the old coffee shop, which the owner smokes in, so doesn’t make it very pleasant for a non smoker

Comfortable beds, station close by Owner is very informative about Kobe and was great to speak to

When I arrived, the staff took a long time to take notice of me (there's a bar/cafe at the entrance, and I didn't know if they were guests or staff). I can speak English and Japanese but nothing was very well explained to me about the stay, they were kind, but the communication wasn't great. The room is a little cramped, and both toilet and shower room are in the same room where we sleep, so there was always some movement around the sleeping area.

It was easy to arrive from both the subway station and the JR Hyogo station. The beds were very comfortable and the sliding doors made privacy easier for each bed. Everything was pretty clean, too, and there were small lockers inside the room for our use.

The shared bathroom is a bit too small and can get a bit uncomfortable to move around at times. I would suggest implementing some shelves and perhaps adding more hooks to try and improve the experience a bit

Great value for price. Staff was VERY friendly, warm and helpful. Our room and the shared bathroom were very clean. The room was very simple - which was expected and also fair considering the price, and it had everything we needed. Location is also quite good. Less than 5min walk from subway and convenience shops

There’s no power socket anywhere near roof top. I had to go downstairs to charge my phone. The rest ok

Clean and very nice owner

Stayed in mixed dorm, so the ladies needed the toilet lid to pull down. The desk was occupied by the cloths of other guests. Washing machine sound may not be preferable at night. Could not find anything to do with coffee itself, but overall well designed hostel.

The hostel is located in residential area and it is quiet. The bed is comfortable and there is a privacy with Japanese design partitions. The panel of coffee photo on the wall looks nice. The owner who speaks Chinese and English is friendly.

I really like the place as it is. There is a wonderful park near the hotel, and the staff was really kind. I would recommende this place for solo travelers as it is an experience to be lived.

The pipe was leaking in my room.

The owner is really a nice person to talk to,very passionate.It’s such an experience during my trip in Japan!The home-like vibe is just how a guesthouse supposed to be.

Stayed in October 2024

Nope.

Location: It's not located in the city centre but still not far from a metro station (like 3 mins walk). Price: This property is unbeatable in terms of price. Owner: Running this hostel is more like a part-time job for the owner, who is always busy in other stuff. If you expect to stay in a well-organised dormitory, think again! But if you manage to make yourself at home, then everything will be fine.

First time in shared dorm accommodation so was a little unfamiliar for me, but the warm reception from the host helped to remove some of this anxiety Limited storage space for larger pieces of luggage

Quiet and comfortable hostel Exceptionally good value for money Host was very nice despite language barriers, nice cup of coffee in the morning

Stayed in August 2024

There was only one pillow even though we had a double bed. Since our room was right next to the shared bathroom and toilets, we heard a lot of noise from the other guests. The bathroom itself was a bit too small, and at one point, a volunteer working there entered our room to get something (which is fine, since it was stored there, but he didn't wait until we actually properly agreed to let him in and only introduced himself as a volunteer afterward).

The owner was super nice ; she upgraded us to a private room for free ! The location of the hostel is very convenient, and the house beautiful.

If you have a large bag, it might be a struggle lifting it up the staircase as there’s no elevator but other than that there wasn’t anything else that was a concern.

Great location, less than a 10 minute walk from the nearest train station and local public onsen. The price is very reasonable for what it offers and its convenient location. Owner is very friendly and welcoming, he can make you a freshly grounded coffee with his many years of experience as a barista. Beds were comfortable and facilities were clean and easy to use.

The owner is very nice and welcoming. This is a chill hostel, really enjoyed the vibe here.

Really good price but not for people with kids. The shower room provided was so tiny and you cannot move around there (though they did offer a voucher for the nearby public bath). Late check out time at noon is quite convenient.

A very pleasant stay. The environment was clean and tidy, and the hostel manager was exceptionally friendly.

The cafe on the 1st floor (reception) smelled so much like cigarette. Also no elevator so you need to carry your luggage to 2nd or 3rd floor.

Staffs were very nice, and the location was great too.

Stayed in November 2024

The room is very cramped and the lockers were very small, so I had to leave the luggages outside. When I arrived no one was at the hostel and I had to contact the code for entering. Maybe next time she could text it before the check in.

The owner was very nice and the structure is just in front of the MTR exit (a bit out of the city centre though).

Stayed in January 2025

The owner was a bit hesitant to let us bring our big suitcase upstairs, we had to persist that we needed all our stuff. Shower room is very small! Room is a good size however the beds are very very thin mattress on the floor, no problem about being on the floor but you felt like you were actually laying on the hard floors :(

It was a good location for us, we like walking around. The owners were friendly and allowed us to arrive early to leave our suitcases while we went out for the rest of the afternoon and night.
