Location was very near sannomiya, the heart of the city. Theres cheap kobe beef at 2960 yen at steak house at sannoimya! The staff were friendly, but it was a little noisy when people move into the 12 bed mix dorm.

Not a massive fan of this hostel, if I'm honest. The staff were friendly, but didn't know as much as hostel staff should. I asked whether it would be better to buy a travel card for the subway or walk between destinations and was told "I don't know" even though this is a standard tourist question. Place was clean; however, only 1 working laptop made internet access a bit tricky. No proper kitchen and a reception room which doubles as a living room. This place is alright for a stopover, no more.

Cozy guesthouse with very kind staff, but unfortunately rather pricey and no free towel (100Y).

I really enjoyed my stay at the Kobe Sannomyia R2 Hostel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Due to a change of my flight details prior to my arrival I had to cancel 2 nights, which was no problem at all. The hostel would not charge me for these two nights either! The hostel is also very clean and in a safe area. I would come back any time!

Friendly staff, helpful in giving us info on where to go. A bit confusing to find at first, but it is in a good location. Hostel was quiet.

Very nice atmosphere, I really enjoyed my stay. I was happy to buy the handmade furoshiki for a good price. Thank you R2 Sannomiya Team!

My sister and I stayed there for one night in the dorms. They were very clean and fun to stay in: they are built capsule like, but have more space. (Which is very important to me as I am quite tall and "big".) We met great Japanese students and enjoyed with them a Japanese bath nearby. You probably won't find a better place to stay for that price.

This was a lovely place to stay - it had very good showers, and a small but good kitchen. Very handy for the station and very easy to find. Lots of shops and cheap restaurants nearby made this a good base.

Not a bad place to stay. Average, I'd say. I liked the curtains around the beds. It was good for a little privacy.

Excellent location, clean and secure rooms, fast internet and good facilities. A pleasure to stay there and explore Kobe. Staff were friendly and approachable.
