Tonarino Hostel for Backpackers in Kobe

The stairs are very steep and dangerous.

They don't provide towels, so you'll need to bring your own.

The shower and bathroom are on the 4th floor, but they're cramped.

The front desk and kitchen are on the 1st floor.

Not bad for a one-night stay.

About 3 out of 5.

It is a standard youth hostel with simple facilities, few showers and toilets, and the smart toilet lid does not work. Free coffee machines and iced drinks are provided. In the morning, each person is provided with a slice of thick bread, butter, jam, etc. There is also a small electric oven available.
It is located to the north of Ikuta Shrine, very close to Kitano and not far from the downtown area of ​​Sannomiya.
The owner of the shop is quite cultured and has put quite a few books, especially a lot of vinyl records, which contain classic European and American pop music (from the 1960s and 1970s).
There is an interesting thing about this hotel. It states that it only accepts young people aged 18-39, but this was not mentioned when booking through Ctrip. When checking in at the hotel, I was asked to sign a notice because of my age. The content was nothing special, just that it was a hostel, not a hotel, and that it did not provide hotel services. I guess they were afraid that older people would not be able to carry their luggage up the steep stairs by themselves.

Kind staff, decent bed, very high price for a hostel. Lots of stair climbing. Great vibes, I enjoy the vintage interior decor. Unfortunately, they charge for luggage storage.

The staff were very kind and they cleaned for hours every day.There is Ikuta Shrine right in front of you, and there are Kobe Sannomiya Station, a supermarket, and Kita Noijin Khan within a 5-minute distance, so it was good to go around.
