Hotels in Nada Ward, Kobe

Very helpful and friendly staff, a fun glamping experience

The owner was very welcoming and accommodating! I had an overnight bus at midnight and checkout was obviously hours before that, so I left my luggage at the hostel to explore the rest of Kobe and kill some time, which also resulted in my phone battery dying with no other facilities to charge. So, when I went back to the hostel, the owner was very kind to let me charge my phone. The general facilities are quite female-friendly, so to speak - there are dedicated female-only facilities. The place is within walkable distance from Oishi station, which is only a few stops from Kobe-Sannomiya and Motomachi. It's also conveniently accessible to transports for Mt Rokko, which also leads to Arima Onsen. Overall, the hostel is decently quiet and definitely worth a bang for its buck given it's more of a residential area, so expect it to be less bustling than the main city area.

Amazing hospitality from the host. They cooked for us and it was delicious.

The whole experience was great. Location is also easy with access to everything.

I really love this coffee hostel and this is my second time staying here. I was very surprised to see such an exaggerated 1-point rating. Firstly, Japan’s safety is widely recognized by travelers worldwide, and this guest’s personal feelings cannot change the fact that Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. Secondly, in a shared dormitory like a youth hostel, it’s reasonable for the host to ask guests not to lock the door from the inside, as this would prevent other roommates from entering. I feel this guest’s statement could lead to serious misunderstandings. Thirdly, as a shared dormitory, privacy is naturally affected, but that’s the nature of a youth hostel. It seems this guest doesn’t understand the concept of a youth hostel, and I suggest they choose such accommodations more carefully in the future. Additionally, the guest mentioned there was no space to organize luggage, which is completely contrary to my experience. Every dormitory room has reasonable space for luggage storage. Lastly, the guest hinted at the host’s nationality, suggesting that people from a certain country should avoid staying here. While this is their freedom of expression, I personally find it inappropriate. The café on the first floor is a great space for interaction, where you can meet young people from all over the world and have meaningful exchanges, which is one of the joys of traveling. The host is a friendly writer, knowledgeable, fluent in English, and very willing to engage with guests. Therefore, I believe this is a hostel worth staying at for a few days. In the future, whenever I return to this area, I will choose to stay here again.

It’s such a fantastic place that my children and I would really miss it.

The service is very good 👍 appreciate the receptionist help to book ENT clinic for one of our friends, especially we are not fluent in Japanese.

It was so amazing, from the location, to the architecture, to the room or to the people’s.

Beautiful and spacious room with great view. Attentive staff. Nice bar & restaurants.

We spent a wonderful 2 nights at this enchanting hotel to celebrate our 5-year anniversary. From the room to the food, the building and the Onsen, it was a celebration for all the senses. The food was exceptional - from dinner to breakfast, the dishes were prepared with the freshest ingredients, all sourced locally. What made the stay truly special was the staff, who went above and beyond to make our experience memorable.
