Capsule Hotel Kobe Sannomiya Reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed this hotel. I honestly don't have anything negative to say about the hotel. I would strongly recommend this hotel to fellow travellers going to Kobe. The Onsen is fantastic, the capsules are genuine and clean and the location is convenient. The staff can speak English and are willing to help you. The surrounding area is safe. The lounge is nice to relax in. There's a safe locker to put your valuables in.

Capsule is my first experience. Frankly, it is quite bad. In hostel, there are only five or even less travellers, others are all locals and most of them wearing suit when they come and leave. No one will talk to each other, they only read cosmics in the resting room, doing everything on their own. The atmosphere of a hostel for travellers is totally absent. Also, I really hate the position of smoking area and the resting room. When I am eating, I smell the smoke. I hate this very much.

Excellent capsule hotel. Very clean, fantastic facilities (Japanese hot bath, sauna etc), good location.

First time staying at a Capsule hotel. The staff spoke english very fluently and was very helpful. I don't think there were any other travelers when I was there, just a bunch of random Japanese men. The capsules are solidly built and don't shake when someone moves around in the adjacent bed. It was a little hot in there, but if you wear their provided PJ's it isn't so bad. There's also a lot of room inside the capsule and didn't feel very confined at all

Power only in communal areas.

Friendly staff who spoke enough English for me to understand him. Instruction sheet was in English, so that was good. Had a pleasant stay. The only problem was one of the guests had a cellphone alarm that went off in the morning, and he wouldn't wake up, so the alarm was keeping us awake for at least half an hour.

A typical capsule hotel with public bath and sauna, chill out area with manga and magazine library. The location is very convenient. The Sannomiya train station can be reached within ten minutes walk and is directly connected to Osaka and Kyoto. Moreover two must-see sites, the Port of Kobe and Chinatown can be reached by foot.

Very good value and interesting experience! great location and some facilities. Booking through Hostelworld make you save 1000Yen.
