It's a bit nitpicky but the plug to charge my phone was a bit far away from my bed. If you have a long cord, you're good. That's all I can think about.

Oh man, where to begin. The guesthouse has a great vibe and the place is decorated nicely. I stayed in a single bedroom and it was very spacious! You can meet a lot of great people at this place and the staff itself has an elaborate map of the area around, including free ropeway passes to get to Mt. Maya!

Not really something. Maybe 450 is a bit much for the coffee I recommend bringing some Pulver if you want in the morning.

The interior is a classic Japanese house with modern design downstairs. The staff was super nice, helped us with the luggage and gave good recommendations for dinner. You can also use the cable car for free.

The mattress was very hard for me and the building was very sensitive to noise, so despite wearing earplugs, every time someone entered or left everything vibrated and it felt too much. It was a bit annoying.

I liked the atmosphere and the entrance. Staff was super nice and friendly.

The location is very close to the Nada station, which is convenient to get to other main stations in Kobe. The single room is spacious for one, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I joined their local food tour. It was really nice to learn about the neighbourhood around and get to interact with the shop owners. Highly recommended!

There was no problem for me as I am not a very picky person. However, as a note for others, this is very near the station so the train will be noisy. But if this is not a problem for you, then this is a great place!

It was a nice and cozy place. I really liked that it was very near the station and it was easy to find. Most of the staff know English and they also recommended cafes and restaurants around the area.

The place was really nice, comfortable, and make you feel like you're at home. In the main area, it's very easy to find friends and people to gather with. The location, it’s near the train station and there have shops and cute restaurants around. The stuff was super nice helpful and helps me in very bad situation I was in, even though they didn't need to. And it was way over their responsibilities about me. Thank you so much in the whole stuff, about all your support when i needed. I wish all the best for all of you 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 I really recommend this place, and this calm and beautiful city 🌸

I bumped my head everywhere 😂

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

It's near train tracks and a bit loud, but there is no shortage of earplugs provided

Good vibes

Personally I don’t mind, but I don’t recommend this venue for people who are sensitive to noise, the train rails are next to the Guesthouse. Also if you have heavy luggage, like suitcase, this guesthouse has thin and high stairs. Those are just observations, not reservations at all!

4 people bedroom has the most comfy and soft beds that I ever slept! I will 100% stay with them again when I come back to Kobe, best vibe from staff and helpful. Ps: nearby to tattoo friendly onsen, it was great!

A shoe horn would be an excellent addition

Staff are darling. Guesthouse is clean and comfortable. Local bakery and restaurants are great. Surprising number of things to do nearby. Stayed here twice during the same trip both in the dorm and the private rooms.

Cutest little accomodation, the roof was perfect for sunset. Roro was super lovely and gave great help! It is a noisy spot but the beds were really comfortable so I was happy

Very comfortable room, and super affordable! Friendly staff too!

The location of the hostel was very close to the train tracks, so there would periodically be light and sound that could be heard and seen through the windows at night.

I really enjoyed the people who stayed at the hostel. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and generous. I received a map with local recommendations, which made it easy and fun to explore the Maya area.

not much.

It was nice that location was close to metro station.

The stairs were very stiff and narrow. Also some noise from the train but it was okay!

Cozy interior and bedroom and shower rooms were very nice.

I loved my stay! Naho gave me a wonderful welcome to Kobe with a lot of excellent local advice. The atmosphere in the shared space was convivial. The spaces were cosy with creative interior details. Shower pressure was excellent. Loved the roof deck; its fun to watch the Kobe trains go past! Easy walk to train stations and local shopping street Suidosuji.

The Kobe Guesthouse Maya goes above and beyond with its thoughtfulness in design and comfort. Always clean, and the staff are so friendly, too. My number one choice for accommodation in Kobe!
