Hotels With Bars in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

Staying 2 night in the hotel , hotel lobby my look abit dated. Rooms are spacious for Japan hotel standard. Hotel provide daily skin care and there is an ice machine on every floor. It also provide shuttle bus in every 15 min to your ne of the station. Shopping mall in 10-15 minutes walking distance we took a taxi from The shopping mall cost 1000yen. Breakfast from the hotel are impressive .

This colonial-style hotel is imbued with a strong maritime theme from the lobby to the bar, restaurant, and executive lounge. Every detail, from the ceiling fans, shutters, telescopes, heavy wooden desks, and leather chairs in the rooms, to the tropical plants and wicker weaving in the restaurant, and the magenta swan display rack and fabric sofas in the lobby, exudes a refined charm with a sense of history. The hotel breakfast was also quite good, with a satisfying variety and excellent quality. This time, my room included a minibar and executive lounge access. The minibar was superb, with delicious complimentary chocolates and snacks for drinks, as well as local beer and fresh juices. However, please note that the executive lounge does not allow children, so unfortunately, I couldn't experience it fully this time, only went in for a quick look. My child did get a huge, delicious cookie. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Kobe!

Grand Mercure Awaji Island boasts unparalleled sea views of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and the Seto Inland Sea. Its excellent location, however, makes it best suited for guests traveling by car. Our sea-view room was spacious and comfortable, with floor-to-ceiling windows that made the morning sea sunrise a daily spectacle. Both breakfast and dinner offered a wide variety of dishes; we especially recommend the Awaji Island milk and local onion specialties. However, dining options nearby are limited, meaning you'll likely rely on the hotel's restaurant for dinner. Without a car, finding other dining spots would require a taxi. The hotel service was attentive, and the front desk staff spoke fluent English, providing helpful guides to local attractions. While the rooftop open-air hot spring bath isn't natural, it was uncrowded, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing with its sea views. On the downside, the facilities are a bit dated, and there's a noticeable lack of family-friendly entertainment options. Overall, this hotel is ideal for guests seeking serene sea views and a relaxed pace, offering particularly excellent value for money during the off-season.

Overall, our stay was good, especially the location. The room is a bit old but still well maintained. However, we were not happy with one aspect of the service. A staff member (possibly a manager or senior from the F&B team) was not very professional and came across as quite rude. He physically blocked us from entering the breakfast area without listening to our explanation. We clearly mentioned that our friend was already inside and had a table, and we were just trying to confirm the table number. However, he insisted we go to Level 1 for breakfast and did not allow us to explain further. We had to go back and forth between the lift, trying to contact our friend, which was quite frustrating. Only after we showed him a photo did he finally allow us to enter. What surprised us most was that the restaurant was actually quite empty, with many available tables. We don’t understand why we were told it was full and asked to go elsewhere. We hope the hotel can improve staff communication and professionalism to avoid similar situations in the future.

500m from kobe tower. We select this hotel because there is japanese style room with public Onsen available. Big room for 4-6 members can be fit. I recommend the hotel team to clean the air con as so many dust but there is Air humidifier machine set up inside the room too. Thank you and we love it.☺️

This was my first time staying at Shimahana, and I was impressed by the quality of the New Awaji Group's service. I was able to fish at Yume Senkei and caught two sea bream, which they cooked and served for dinner that night, and it was delicious. The rest was neatly prepared and we were able to take home. Shimahana is located a little way off the coast, but they provided transportation to and from the hot springs, so we were able to enjoy it without any problems. I would like to stay here again

The hotel's location is great, nestled between Sannomiya and Motomachi stations, making it super convenient for getting around. It's also on a very bustling street, so you just step out and there are plenty of dining options. Despite that, the room was very quiet and spacious – we even had room to open our luggage without a problem. Plus, they offer complimentary snacks in the afternoon! I'd definitely stay at The b again next time I visit; it's a solid recommendation.

It was a realy great hotel, on walking distance from everything we wanted to see and do. The room itself was really nice and the breakfast that was included was really good. Any breakfast where I can get boiled eggs is great but I mean this breakfast is extensively and of high quality! Never had my matcha dessert but maybe that was a good thing for my waistline. My friend said it was really good! I would definitely go back there! Just for the breakfast alone so only thing you need is kobe beef in the evening to have had enough food for the whole day.

Close to the outlet mall but transportation isn't very convenient. It's a 30-minute drive to Kobe, and dining options nearby are limited. The hotel claims to be fully renovated, but it's only partially so. If you're driving, it's an option worth considering.

Our stay started pleasantly with a polite welcome at the entrance! It was fun to be able to choose our favorite kimono design! In-room dining was not available as advance notice was required, but the dinner venue was very clean and modern. There were some older game consoles installed, and we were able to play on them, something we hadn't seen in a while. We stayed in a Japanese-style room with an ocean view, and the sunsets and sunrises were beautiful. Best of all, we could hear the sound of the ocean all the time, which was very relaxing. The most impressive thing about this inn was the food. The sashimi was delicious, and the selection was plentiful, so we were very satisfied! The morning buffet offered both Japanese and Western dishes, and the desserts were delicious! The beach was right next to the inn, so we enjoyed ourselves even when we were tired! The staff were also very polite, and it was an inn that we truly wanted to stay at again!
