As we had booked the 2 larger rooms for myself & my family, we also had our own bathrooms, so only had to share toilets. The staff were very welcoming, and helpful, and as this was a hostel, there were good communal spaces we could all use, incouding the kitchen. This meant we could make snacks and breakfast etc, (which helps with keeping costs down) and lots of free tea & coffee! Excellent value for money compared to `budget` hotels which have no facilities.

Private toilets would be the only thing I could think of to improve the experience, but to be honest it wasnt a problem, and if you dont mind sharing some facilities its fine.

The staff was very friendly and helpful in navigating everything. Plus it was close to the station and near some good food options!

The room's were a bit awkward for solo travelers since it is just one single bunk bed in each room. so you're a bit intimate with your roommate. There is also a hole carved through the wall that connects with the other room. It is like a strange window low to the ground that you could easily walk through if you wanted to say hello to your neighbors. It's a good place for if you're with others especially if you know the people next door could be fun but I felt a little exposed as a solo female traveler.

We were 2 people and even though they say its in a 4 bunk bedded dorm, it sort of was a room for us, with only a hole in the wall seperating it from the other room and making it a one full dorm. there was ample space inside the room and we lived there comfortably for 6 nights. very near to a metro station and there is a familymart just opposite.

sometimes even the staff is unaware of many facilities there as they are mostly volunteers. overall there is a cramped feeling to the common area.

Just wow. Hands down the most fun stay during our trip to Japan. BRILLIANT value for money, and super close to not one, but three stations. Tons of eateries nearby, my favourite were the stand-up udon shops! The rooms were tidy, and the bathrooms were clean, but what really sold the place was the common area- it felt really homely, and cheerful. It was such a good home base, to go out and about to explore- I'd love to come back to visit again sometime!

We did sleep in the same sheets for 5? days, which did get a little bit crumbly- no biggie though! My other suggestion to other travelers would be to bring earplugs/an eye mask because you're sleeping in a shared space :) (there was a dj/rave going on our first night of the stay, we learned the hard way)

This hostel has tons of character. Wandering the different hallways and just looking at the walls is very fun. The room is interesting- it's 2 people in a room with a small gap allowing you to see the other 2 people in the room next to you. The staff are kind, check-in was easy, the location is solid with a cool walk up a hill to arrive at the hostel. I did not try anything, but you get a small discount at their cafe.

No lockers except for a tiny safe box for valuables. You need your own lock.

super cute accommodations and a great kitchen and lovely shared common spaces. it was close to trains in a neighborhood that didn't feel super touristy, which i appreciated. there are helpful notes around everywhere, which is great. the water pressure was excellent and i had no trouble with hot water, which i noticed in another review. oh and the pillow was amazing!

communication. check in isn't until 4. i sent a message using this app asking if i could leave my luggage and nobody responded. there is a phone at reception to call for help, but both days i tried it didn't work. while it was frustrating and felt hopeless, i would still stay again and can easily recommend it. not at all social while i was there. this place has so much charm and thoughtfulness in details. i really wanted to learn more about it and the folks behind it.

Super comfortable bed, lovely cafe area at the front, clean facilities and quirky decor! The staff are especially kind, and helped me when I wasn't feeling well!

It's a little distant from the centre of Kobe, but there are two metro stations nearby so you can still arrive there within 15 minutes. The showers are small, and the shower curtain kept blowing inwards!

good location to train, park, market - place is giving you feeling of living in japanese traditional house - nice room (i own the room by myself for 1 night) - bed are big clean and private with personal light - room are just right size but there is big common space to keep or open and close big suitcase - laundry room & dry rack & dryer provided (extra charge) - hair dryer included in room - full kitchen equipment for cooking (refrigerator & basic cooking stuff provided ie oil seasoning sauce) - common area for eat & drink are big also with balcony - it also open as cafe during the day - stuff are flexible on checkin time please contact them in advance (my flight was delay)

- Shower room is small but as usually as japanese house (soap shapoo conditioner provided) and it on the same floor so convenience. - wall are thin can hear your next room or outside. - as common area is front of the room so you can here conversation even late night. - recommend to set up quiet time during night as i was trying to sleep. - my bed was soft but i prefer harder bed.

Characterfully-aged accommodation in Kobe, loved the deco & personal touches around the accommodation. Shared kitchen & cafe on site. Staff were very friendly. Suited for travellers on a budget with an appreciation for a homely aesthetic , not for those looking for a flash, new place. Family mart is just across the road.

Stayed in the double room with private shower room - bathroom in the room is very old & emitted a mouldy smell (may be inevitable part of the older building)

A friend recommended this hostel, and I was not disappointed. It has such a great atmosphere and the decor is so cute. My bed was huge! And the room was light and nice. I did wish there was more hooks and shelves for storage in the room. The area is pretty nice, and public transport is close by.

You could hear EVERYTHING that went on outside the room. With the common area/kitchen out there, it meant people were hanging out in the evening.
