Hotels With Gym in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

This Kobe hotel has always been a favorite of mine. The location is excellent, just a 7-8 minute walk from Sannomiya Station. Right across the street is a 24-hour Don Quijote, which is super convenient for last-minute shopping. The rooms aren't huge, but they offer 24/7 self-serve coffee, and ice cream is available from 8 PM to 11 PM. The surrounding area is packed with popular restaurants and convenience stores.

This is the first time I've ever fallen while showering during my travels. Even though my English isn't great, I tried my best to communicate with the hotel. All they offered was ice. So much for the service at these old established hotels. Everyone talks about how personalized Japanese service is, but I found that the hotel bathroom didn't even have a non-slip mat. After I fell, I had to cancel the rest of my trip and immediately fly back to Shanghai for a check-up. What a terrible experience! Seriously, everyone, please, please, please be careful!

Plesant experience: Special thanks to Suzuki san for helping us with wearing the rental Yukata and it brightened the entire stay with us wearing cute kimono with ready ribbon-like Obi around the onsen town. We enjoyed strawberry bought from Wadaya and tasting delicious croissant at PARADI watching Sakura bloom although it was on our last day of our stay. Thanks to our 1st day dinner server (he is so professional and kind). Unpleasant experience: Thanks to the Manager for checking and appreciate the Respectful chef for coming to explain what least expect to find a small sharp turtle bone in my chawanmushi. Luckily I didn't swallow it. Lesson learnt: while enjoying silk egg tofu, never should just glide down your throat. Still need to be cautious! Although all 3 days kaiseki was really delish, left me a little phobia of sharp object in food no matter how reliable the venue is. Still, I believe I am lucky star haha! Lastly, thanks to the front desk reception guy (sorry can't recall your name) for your kind dinner arrangement with crab on 2nd night and welcoming us on 1st day. My stay at Kinosakionsen was overall a wonderful experience. I would still recommend to my friends your hotel as I believe the Management is serious about us sharing kind feedback so that unpleasant happenings could be avoided. Looking forward to better service from your hotel staff. Cheers!

This is an older Japanese five-star hotel. While the decor and facilities are a bit dated, they're well-maintained and quite clean. Although the hotel is built into the side of a mountain, the underground transportation is excellent; you can reach Sannomiya in just a few minutes, and there's a direct shuttle to Sanda just a five-minute walk away. I booked this hotel specifically for the direct bus to Kansai Airport at 2 PM, which is super convenient and a lifesaver if you have a lot of luggage. I don't recommend visiting the Ijinkan Street, which is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

Overall, it was quite good. The only downside was that the lighting was really dim. I called the front desk to ask why two lights weren't working and they said they were emergency lights. This isn't very friendly for people who want to study/work a bit or handle some things in the evening. The cleanliness was excellent. Although the hotel is old, the details were handled spotlessly. The environment was also quite good. From our east-facing room, we could see the BE KOBE landmark in Meriken Park ^ ^ The hotel lobby offers self-service welcome drinks, and it was pleasant to grab a drink when leaving or returning to the hotel. The breakfast was also good, with a variety of Western and Japanese options. We had a sea-view table on the first day, but unfortunately, we weren't assigned a window seat on the second day (╥﹏╥) In terms of location, it's natural that beautiful views and shopping can't be had at the same time, but it's only a twenty-minute walk to the shopping district, which is fine. If you want more comfort, you can take a taxi directly; there are plenty of taxis in front of the hotel. It's very friendly and convenient for tourists! One of the days during our stay happened to be my birthday. I emailed to ask about birthday decorations and was told they didn't offer that service, but when I entered the room, I saw a small card and a flower on the table, which made me very happy!

The Kobe Minato Onsen Ren hotel boasts an excellent location. The Japanese-Western style room with a sea view offers a spacious terrace with an expansive view of the harbor. The room was spotlessly clean, and the hot spring facilities were a great experience. The staff were attentive and thoughtful. We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay; the food and accommodation quality were outstanding. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Kobe.

This hotel exudes an old-world charm, rightfully earning its place as Kobe's premier establishment. It's said that luminaries like Einstein, Sun Yat-sen, and Marilyn Monroe once graced its halls. Every detail speaks of its history and understated luxury. From the lobby to the rooms, a strong sense of a grand seafaring era permeates. The ceiling fans, Venetian blinds, tropical greenery, rattan furniture, the display in the lobby background, and the chic pink fabric sofas all contribute to a historical, refined, and tasteful ambiance. While not brand new, the hotel is impeccably maintained with updated facilities. The room layout is excellent, the bed is super large, and the thoughtful details (like silky pajamas, charging cables, and thick, plush towels) made for an incredibly comfortable stay.

The hotel is beautiful and conveniently located right by the subway exit. The environment is also very pleasant, making for a very enjoyable stay. The hotel provides high-quality branded toiletries, and the bed is super comfortable. It's a highly recommended place to stay when visiting Kobe.

We had a great 1 night stay at this hotel! This was a wonderful experience! Although we only spent 1 night here, as this was meant to be an overnight stop between cities in our travel road trip, this left such a good impression on us, that we would like to come back to Akashi just to stay in this hotel again. The architecture and the hotel design is very cool, 50's kind of vibe, but it's new of course. The hotel has a club lounge where we could unwind after the drive with complimentary snacks and drinks, including alcohol, and all was free and unlimited. The room was super spacious and designed nicely, with a huge hot tube jacuzzi, and since we took the ocean view room, the view overlooking the ocean and bridge was just breath-taking 👌 The breakfast was just right, and they totally accommodated my meal requests and accomplished to have a very good result... 5 stars here and I would totally want to come back!

The Kobe Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers is a luxury hotel that was renovated in 2013, so rooms of the same type are about 40% more expensive than those at the Plaza Hotel. This time, we stayed in an 8th-floor city view room, overlooking the Rokko Liner and River Mall, where there's a Daiei supermarket that I highly recommend. The reception is on the third floor, with a dedicated entrance on the Sheraton Plaza side (strangely, the vents are also located here, so there's an unpleasant cooking smell when you pass by). This entrance leads directly to Island Center Station on the Rokko Liner, making transportation very convenient. There are four front desk teams; their English is generally basic, though an older male supervisor speaks better English. There's also a dedicated concierge desk. Toiletries are provided in the room (including two extra face masks), and a special children's toiletry set is offered if you're traveling with kids. Upon entering, you change into slippers, and there are special slippers provided for the hotel's onsen (hot spring) area. There were welcome sweets. The bathroom is spacious with a separate wet and dry area, and a children's step stool is provided. The room also had a Bible and Mormon scriptures, which I won't comment on. The room's Wi-Fi doesn't require a password, but the signal was poor and kept switching to my roaming signal. The lobby signal wasn't great either, which was a drawback. [embarrassed emoji] The hotel provides two complimentary bottles of water daily; additional bottles cost 100 JPY each. I bought water daily from the Daiei supermarket I mentioned earlier. There's a self-service laundry area on the second floor, which is reasonably priced. The buffet breakfast is served at the Garden Cafe on the first floor. The front desk records your approximate dining time upon check-in. It's recommended to go at your designated time, as you might have to wait for a table if you arrive too early. After being seated, a yellow standing card is placed on your table; simply hand it to the staff when you're finished. The hotel has many guests, including quite a few Chinese visitors, so the breakfast area can be crowded, and there's often a short queue for food. The three-story high ceiling and large floor-to-ceiling windows create a nice environment. The breakfast offers Japanese, Western, and Chinese options, with a decent variety, though the dishes rarely change daily. There are four flavors of ice cream, and their coffee is quite good. Children under 6 years old are not counted in the guest total, which is a nice perk. The buffet dinner, at 5692 JPY per person, is also quite good value. The staff's attitude was acceptable, but a bit mechanical; they weren't as friendly or personable as the staff at the Plaza Hotel.
