Hotels in Kobe

"Our room was ready when we arrived at 2pm and made available to us immediately. The room was clean, the staff friendly. Tea, coffee, juice and water are complementary all day long and between 5 & 8 pm they offer wine and snacks. What more could we ask for? Excellent quality for the price!"

"Great hotel.Great value for money when we stayed.Location excellen bring near the shops and food establishments.zKpbe is well worth a visit and in reality it's as good if not better than Osaka. Room sizes were good. Would definitely stay again here at this hotel."

"The environment: It's quite noisy as it's located close to the railway tracks. I didn't notice this beforehand, nor did I see any previous reviews mentioning the noise. After checking in at the machine, we found ourselves assigned to a room at the very end of the corridor, closest to the tracks. The window overlooked the railway, which was less than 100 meters away. Some of the trains made incredibly loud braking sounds when arriving at the station. Even with the windows closed, it was clearly audible, feeling like it was right next to my ear when lying in bed. I checked and found that the last subway train runs around midnight, and the first one starts around 5 AM. As a result, I barely slept the first night. The following two nights, I either got used to it or was too tired, as it didn't seem as noisy as the first day. The soundproofing of the room was also mediocre. One day, our neighbors were watching TV; the volume wasn't high, but I could hear it very clearly. Fortunately, they turned it off after a while. So, I'd advise anyone sensitive to noise to avoid rooms on the side closer to the railway tracks. Cleanliness: It felt quite clean. Location: Excellent, a three-minute walk to Sannomiya Station. Service: Check-in was self-service. On the day of check-out, it was raining, and I borrowed an umbrella from the front desk uncle, who seemed very friendly. Facilities: The room has an electric kettle. I also noticed that it seems possible to borrow curling irons from the common area downstairs."

"The hotel's location is super convenient! It's about a 15-minute walk from Sannomiya Station, the last stop on the Port Liner. The room size is decent; I could easily open my 28-inch suitcase. I was particularly happy with the small table and armchair in the room. Plus, there are so many great places to eat around the hotel. All in all, very convenient and highly recommended."

"The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Sannomiya, Kobe's busiest area, and 3 minutes from Motomachi Station. Downstairs is Nanjing Town, full of Chinese restaurants, which is basically Kobe's Chinatown food street. It's very convenient for dining, drinking, and shopping. The hotel's top floor has a sauna and hot bath, along with various free cold drinks and coffee. From 9:30 PM, they also offer complimentary special soy sauce ramen as a late-night snack. The room isn't huge, but it has everything you need; two large suitcases can be opened up without a problem. They don't provide daily cleaning service, but if you leave your trash and used towels outside the door, the staff will collect them and provide fresh ones. Overall, everything was excellent and quiet. Every day I'd wake up and it would already be almost 10 AM! 😂 I would definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit."

"When booking a hotel room, you can choose to use the buffet breakfast or purchase it in the store. The buffet breakfast has a wide variety of dishes and the dishes are delicious. The service staff has been paying attention to the quantity of dishes and replenished them in time if they find any shortages. The restaurant environment is comfortable and pleasant."

"Even though I booked this hotel by mistake, I was pleasantly surprised! If you're traveling with kids, I highly recommend staying here! First off, the rooms are significantly larger compared to hotels in Sannomiya. As an established five-star hotel, while the facilities are a bit dated, the size and views are absolutely unbeatable. There's a balcony in the room where you can enjoy a coffee, look out at the sea, and relax in the morning – it's incredibly pleasant. You can also admire the night view. The hotel breakfast offers freshly made burgers and freshly squeezed orange juice, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the sea. If the weather's nice, you can even sit outside and enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze. The only downside is that the pool costs extra. However, if you have kids, Meriken Park is right across the street, featuring the Anpanman Museum and a Ferris wheel. Plus, iconic photo spots are right downstairs. If you want to go shopping in the city center, the hotel provides a free shuttle bus every 20 minutes, which is super convenient if you check the schedule. All in all, next time I come with my children, I'll definitely choose this place."

"The location of the hotel is superb as it was located at the Sannomiya station. You can easily identify the hotel building afar from nearby as it was one of the highest building in the district. There were tones of local restaurants and department stores nearby in walking distance. Public transportation was highly accessible to most of the tourist spots in Kobe. The hotel receptionists was friendly and spoke fluent English. They always greeted the customers with cheerful smile and polite greetings whenever we stepped out from the elevator. For the room itself, it was clean and tidy, not extremely spacious but sufficient for opening up 2 suitcases. And the massage chair was definitely the icing on the cake in which I regarded it as the most unexpected yet satisfying element out of all of my three stays in Kobe, Kyoto and Osaka! It saved our exhausted, sore feet, back and neck every night after the long walk. Highly recommended this hotel for everyone!"

"My stay at Hotel Okura Kobe was generally good, but there are a few details worth sharing. Since the hotel was fully booked when we checked in, we were assigned a mountain view room and missed out on the sea view. If you're set on a sea view, I'd recommend opting for the nearby Oriental Hotel Meriken Park instead. The breakfast selection wasn't extensive, but what they offered was refined, with a good mix of Western and Asian options that should satisfy most tastes. What I liked most was the hotel's location, which made getting around very convenient. Plus, the room size was quite generous for a Japanese hotel, making for a comfortable and uncrowded stay. Overall, Hotel Okura Kobe is a good choice for travelers seeking convenience and comfort."

"Located in the central business district, the hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Hanshin Sannomiya Station. The walk itself is quite enjoyable, lined with numerous restaurants, gourmet food stalls, and chic boutiques, so the distance wasn't an issue at all. Considering the price, the room was more than satisfactory – clean and well-maintained. The breakfast spread was also excellent. I even found that paying directly at the front desk upon arrival offered a slightly better rate than booking for the next day, making it fantastic value for money. This place is a paradise for shoppers, with a The North Face store right downstairs and other popular brands like Arc'teryx, Mont-bell, Blue Bottle Coffee, and Issey Miyake just a stone's throw away. The area still feels quite local and hasn't been heavily touristed, offering a more genuine and relaxed Japanese experience. The hotel's proximity to the sea also offers a delightful evening stroll to the port, where you can enjoy quiet, undisturbed views. The gentle night air and boundless romantic serenity were truly therapeutic."
