We had a great stay at Hostel Anchorage. We had a private two person room that was cozy and clean. The location of the hotel was convenient, too— close to Motomachi and Chinatown and walking distance to the Harbor and Sannomiya.

Uncomfortable mattress

I spent few nights at Hostel Anchorage, which is conveniently located about a 15-minute walk from Motomachi Station. There are several tourist attractions nearby, making the location quite convenient. However, my main issue was with the mattress provided. It was too thin, and after the first night, I experienced backaches and struggled to sleep well for the rest of my stay. Had I known about the poor quality of the bed beforehand, I wouldn't have stayed for so long, and I deeply regretted my decision. When I politely approached the staff about the possibility of adding an additional mattress for comfort, they refused and their attitude towards me was less than satisfactory, which further added to my disappointment.

Stayed in one of the private rooms with 3 beds (2 on the floor, and one in a loft). Just steps from Motomachi shopping street, and super close to the Minatomotomachi subway station entrance (just across the street). Room was very clean, and I had no complaints about the shared bathroom arrangement. The best part however, is that there is a fantastic laundry place (ストランドリー STLAUNDRY （大型コインランドリー) 3 minutes walk from the hostel that takes card, does a full wash/dry cycle for only 1000 yen. If you need a place for a few nights, this place is hard to beat.

Hostel Anchorage was in an ideal location to explore the city and get out to the mountains for some hiking. While I stayed in the dorm, it was silent at night and very easy to fall asleep. The owner was very friendly and you can tell he really cares about the place as it is in immaculate condition. I would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Kobe.

exceptional location. Private room for 3 was 75.00 USD,, so not bad! very nice staff, exceptionally clean, spacious private room, but very tight quarters in common areas and hallways. didn’t sleep at all because from 2am to 5am people don’t respect the QUIET TIMES and have full loud conversations in the hallways right next to your door!! are you serious? how ignorant can you be to not know that talking loudly at 2:30 in the morning with paper thin walls and noise carry’s… talking on a cellphone super loud at 4am? give me a break. this is not a reflection on the hostel, but people that stay at hostels worldwide who have ZERO respect for quiet times and other people there.
