All hostels in Kobe
Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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

    Great hostel location right in China town and a walking distance from Sannomiya. Second time staying there as it’s great on a budget and for one night. Female only dorms offered so I felt safe. Clean toilets and showers. Mirror in the dorm area which is useful.

    As a solo traveller on a budget, this guest house was perfect. It was easily accessible and the amenities were a lovely surprise! I had a nice warm welcome upon arrival and the female dormitory felt like a very safe space.
