It is a historic building, so it is quite cool to stay at a traditional Japanese building. I liked they have a rooftop area where you can get fresh air.

First floor level to sit, read, and eat doesn't have any opening for fresh air circulation. There is no window to open in the mornings..etc. Unfortunately, what what worse than this was lack of cleaning knowledge of the foreign staff from Ireland. I saw her "trying" clean the refrigerator (which is quite small) using a bleach cleaner with the food items already inside the fridge. I couldn't believe my eyes, she was spraying the bleach product without removing the food items. This is reckless and risky for human health. It seems she also didn't rinse/wipe after spraying bleach, the trousers I bought only few days ago got ruined as I was washing hands by the sink area. Cleaning at the busier times of evening is not a good idea either.

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.

One of the other members of staff spent a lot of time on personal phone calls in a mixture of English & French, rather than paying attention to guests.

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.

This hostel is not for squeamish people who love everything new, polished and shiny. It is perfectly hygienic and toilets/bathrooms are always clean, but it doesn’t feel “sterile”. The bed compartments are of course not soundproof so get your earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. They have only essential amenities but more shouldn’t even be expected at this price!

Helpful staff. A poor guy was sick and the staff went out-of their way to help him translating his symptoms into Japanese so he could go to the hospital for treatment. Falling sick could happen to any traveller and nice to know there is a place in Kobe who go out of their way to help

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.

There is a weird smell sometimes in the room (nothing too bad) and while its close to a train station it is not located in the main area of Kobe but you can easily talk one train station or walk along the port. In general these are very small details.

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.

Not too much to add here. I would have preferred if there was a more suitable stairway to the upper bunks. As a larger bottomed woman i struggled there slightly!

I stayed from 20-25 Sep 2023. Level 1 - common area with bar counter seats, cosy corners to laze around, sofas and basically many types of seatings to choose from. You could work there, have complimentary Japanese and English tea and coffee. Level 2 - rooms for female dorm and mixed dorm, dedicated female toilet n sink next to the room. Keep your shoes on this level in exchange for indoors slippers. Level 3 - another dorm + shower rooms n toilets. Level 4 - rooftop outdoors area. Location - it’s within a 5mins walk despite me with my heavy 60L backpack + a flimsy heavy cabin size lugagge + 2L bottle, while checking on my google map 🗺️. There’s family mart and Lawson just within 1-2mins outside the hostel. Moreover, I really enjoyed the little izakaya 🏮 all around the hostel, in just less than 3 mins. There’s a Life supermarket/ departmental store just 5 mins away. At the Vierra Exit of Kobe station, there’s Kohyo supermarket as well as mister donut. There’s a lot of housing around the area and you can see the locals coming back from school and work, housewives too. A glimpse of the Japanese life! Wi-Fi - stable and strong in all parts of the hostel Showers - Good strong water pressure with hot water throughout the shower Staff - Speaks good command of English, they are of Japanese, Brazilian, African, etc nationalities. Capsule - wide and tall enough for a 1.65m person. I can sit upright without having to worry about banging my head or elbows and stretch my legs all about. Has 2 electricity outlet, where 1 is used for the lights. There’s also a wooden box with a password lock for you to keep your valuables. In room, there’s a chain with keypad lock that you can use to lock your luggage to the railing too. Hangers are available in the room, as well as in-capsule, there’s 2 available hangers for use. The hostel is accessible all by stairs. It isn’t too bad I feel. If you check-in before 9pm, the staff are around to help you carry your luggage up the stairs.

Excellent location with cozy atmosphere, well-equipped facility! Nakamura hostel is located very close to the KOBE station, to the Harbor Land and big shopping malls! The staff are all very friendly and helpful and the facility is well equipped and kept clean. Even the dormitory room, each cabin has a safety box and enough spacious for private luggage. The common rooms on the first floor are also very spacious - one tatami room(Japanese style room) with TV and the large lobby for chatting, web surfing and eating. Kitchen is also available with fridges and microwave.

Location - near to JR train station. Surround with convenience store, restaurant and short walk to supermarket. Free use on kitchen, fridge, cooking stove, coffee and tea. Quiet and safe. Free wifi.

Bring ur towel. But there is rental towel at the reception that not many people is aware. The manager is available at the premises in limited time but there is free phone to contact him and he will be there in couple of minutes.

The common area had a lot of cool features and a lot of guides/maps of the area and nearby cities/towns. The kitchen seemed decently equipped. there were bathrooms in every floor although there was no soap or proper sink to wash your hands with soap or brush your teeth in the third floor bathrooms (they had the mounted sink in the toilets not ideal for brushing your teeth lol) although not a big deal, just gotta go one floor down and you are good. While it was a bit cold for the rooftop it looked pretty nice and had a nice space. The location was near many restaurants and just a 5min walk of Kobe station.
