I really love this coffee hostel and this is my second time staying here. I was very surprised to see such an exaggerated 1-point rating. Firstly, Japan’s safety is widely recognized by travelers worldwide, and this guest’s personal feelings cannot change the fact that Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. Secondly, in a shared dormitory like a youth hostel, it’s reasonable for the host to ask guests not to lock the door from the inside, as this would prevent other roommates from entering. I feel this guest’s statement could lead to serious misunderstandings. Thirdly, as a shared dormitory, privacy is naturally affected, but that’s the nature of a youth hostel. It seems this guest doesn’t understand the concept of a youth hostel, and I suggest they choose such accommodations more carefully in the future. Additionally, the guest mentioned there was no space to organize luggage, which is completely contrary to my experience. Every dormitory room has reasonable space for luggage storage. Lastly, the guest hinted at the host’s nationality, suggesting that people from a certain country should avoid staying here. While this is their freedom of expression, I personally find it inappropriate. The café on the first floor is a great space for interaction, where you can meet young people from all over the world and have meaningful exchanges, which is one of the joys of traveling. The host is a friendly writer, knowledgeable, fluent in English, and very willing to engage with guests. Therefore, I believe this is a hostel worth staying at for a few days. In the future, whenever I return to this area, I will choose to stay here again.

location is good, and stuff is nice～

The staff is so nice and everything was very familiar

Great staff and comfortable stay!

We had a wonderful time in the hotel with a beautiful japanese style bedroom with a beautiful view on the sea. We did the onsen which is small but confortable and clean. We can park at the hotel. We were at the upper floor, there is no elevator as mentioned in other comment but the staff kindly helped us to carry the luggages upstairs (we carry them down). It was manageable for us.

Everything was so comfortable and clean! Highly recommend ‚

Place was very clean and comfortable. Amenities provided was complete and high quality. The host was friendly and welcoming. It exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this place if you don't mind using shared bathrooms and washing up facilities.

Kinosaki Knot was a clean, organized, and well-kept hostel - I visited during mid-December and had only one bunkmate in the shared women's dorm. She was great - we hit it off and grabbed dinner and wandered around town together. The beds were really comfortable and clean, the common space had hot water, tea, and coffee, and the bathrooms were also clean and had small amenities. My host was great - very welcoming, and quick to respond in case I needed anything. This hostel is also very close to the train station (not that Kinosaki is large - you can walk anywhere you need to go) and I found it handy since I had to catch a 7:00 train the next morning.

friendly staff, cozy vibes in the common area for late night talks, comfortable and provate beds
