Staff very friendly and location also very good close to Jr station

Pitiphan Thailand

I like the design. Cute and warm. Very good location I like the atmosphere around this place so much that I want to have a house in this area too. And most importantly I really like all of the staff. Everyone is very helpful. Always smile. Gave me very good advice on my travel planning. Good coffee every morning. And welcome me back home every day. Talking to them was very fun and relaxing. I stayed here for 5 nights. Would like to stay longer. The local bread shop, local bar, local onsen, the view on the Maya mt. is stunning. And there are many good museums within easy walking distance. I really love it. Thank you for everything. Love you guys :)

Nakawin Thailand

One of the coolest and loveliest guest houses I’ve stayed in. Amazingly friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Loved my stay here.

Santhir Canada

Great location with easy access to the JR line in a quit Kobe neighborhood. Quaint building, modern amenities, plenty of common space! The Staff at Maya was top notch and delivered several awesome recommendations - couldn’t be happier with this stay!

Creighton Japan

Genuine hospitality, style. It would take a whole page of details to describe how nice this place is in 2020. I stayed there three times, each time in different rooms, each time perfect. It is just NICE. Location is perfect,  quiet yet one stop from Kobe, the neighborhood is romantic like Greenwich Village or Montmartre or a nice place in San Francisco. The little house is very cute,  very homey, with a large common space. The staff are incredible. Just rush to stay there before the team get old and change business. For the time being, they are super super master of genuine hospitality. They made me understand what is the pinnacle of a "guesthouse Japanese style". There is an elevated railway line running just on the other side of the street. It is not a problem because during the night, there are no trains. I fully recommend this place. Georges from Switzerland.

Where do I begin? The facility was located in the most quaint part of Kobe. It is so close to everything, but the most important factor is the place itself. The staff are wonderful human beings who make you feel like you are apart of a family. They are very welcoming and make sure that you are okay. From giving suggestions to making reservations, the staff are always there for you. If you want a unique accommodation experience where you’ll leave with new friends...please stay here!

Andrew Canada

The coffee was delicious and the staff were amazing. We also loved the passes for the mountain and the excellent décor.

Felix United Kingdom

Staff are super friendly and they really encourage the guest to connect to each other. The facilities are comfortable.

Mariana Japan

Lovely place, well setup for travellers. Great design sense in the renovation of this building. Extremely helpful staff who obviously like being there and enjoy people.

Bruce Canada

The building was very old but it was very beautiful. It was built all by the locals and I really loved everything about it. The narrow stairs helped me get a workout (lol) and the common space was very comfortable and easy to get along with!
