“Good choice for the price”
The hostal is clean and has everything you need for your stay. It has a nice common area to meet other travelers although during my stay there was not much atmosphere. The hostal is very close to the jr station, convenience stores, and a restaruant area.

“Great atmospheric hostel with a local feel”
Absolutely great! The choice of artbooks is fantastic for someone who loves modern art and subculture. The building is old; it is remodeled with great care so as not to erase its history. There’s a lot, A LOT of small local art on walls etc. The staff (owner?) is an angel. Great cost-performance, comfortable bed and clean showers. Nice rooftop space. There’s a place to work on your laptop at night, if needed. And a KOTATSU!!! The complementary green tea is very tasty.

“Arguable value for money, but I would pay more to stay at another hostel.”
Convenient location 5 minutes walk from Kobe Station, place was generally clean enough. Wi-Fi worked well throughout the building.

If you're on a budget, this will get the job done. There's lockers and the curtain on the bed gives good privacy.

“A warm welcome & a friendly relaxed vibe.”
The 3 staff on duty when I checked in (all European) were great. Very polite, friendly and welcoming - a great start to my break. The Wi-Fi worked well throughout the entire building, as did the air conditioning & the numerous electric fans. It was very useful to be able to leave my case in the storage area, free of charge, after I'd checked out. It gave me the chance to do more sightseeing, before moving on to Osaka.

The hostel was located a short walk from the station which was very convenient. There are a couple of restaurants nearby and also a few convenience stores which came in handy. The hostel has a very chill vibe, there is a common area downstairs with a small set up where people can eat or sit and chat. There is also an inner room with a traditional Japanese setup where people can rest. The rooms are pretty basic with everything you need to sleep well. Good mattresses, blankets and pillows to add to the comfort. There is also a kitchen.

“A bit overpriced, good location, not first option, not bad”
Kitchen is a plus, location also good, free coffee or tea was nice. It''s ok for a night or 2. The place is acceptable.
