3-Star Hotels in Kobe

The room was quite spacious and comfortable for Japan standards, with enough room to open two large suitcases without feeling cramped. It's super convenient to get to: just take exit 12 from the JR station, turn left when you see the hotel sign, and take the elevator up. The only downside was the air conditioning only had three settings, and it was too cold. I ended up sleeping at the foot of the bed because the draft from the head of the bed was too strong.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, they provided an extra pillow when we requested. There is a microwave on level 2 which you can use to heat up your convenience store food items after.However, we had some issues with the room. 1. The aircon green light is very bright and shines down on your face through the night, would be good to cover it with something. 2. The window blinds are right behind your head and have big gaps allowing large amounts of light to come through in the morning. The toilet was also quite small with limited hanging space.

The double room was quite a bit more expensive than the king room, but it was very spacious and clean inside, truly comfortable 👍 The front desk is on the second floor, and there's a lounge next to it. It seems like they offer free snacks in the afternoon, but we didn't get to try them. The location isn't far from Sannomiya Station, but it felt like a maze around there 😵💫 Plus, with the skybridge under construction, several directions were blocked, so it took us ages to find our way in and out every time 🙃 And we had to go up and down that complicated skybridge—maybe I'm just bad with directions… It's about a 10-minute walk to the airport bus stop, which isn't super convenient if you're hauling luggage.

The location is super convenient, just a 2-minute walk from JR Sannomiya Station East Exit. Hankyu/Hanshin electric trains, city subway, and Port Liner are all within a 5-minute walk. The direct bus stop for Kansai Airport and Itami Airport is right across from the hotel, so you don't have to drag your luggage far after landing. It's a quick 20-minute ride to Osaka Umeda and 40 minutes to Kyoto, making day trips a breeze. The self-service breakfast offers both Japanese and Western options, including Kobe specialty bread, Japanese side dishes, and fresh fruit. Vegetarian and gluten-free meals are also available, offering great value for money. There's a Lawson convenience store right by the entrance on the ground floor and a large supermarket next door, making it super easy to buy water, snacks, simple meals, and even cosmetics morning and night. The room type is comfortable, clean, and well-organized. Compared to other business hotels in similar locations in Japan, the room space is quite generous. Overall, I'm very satisfied and will definitely stay here again.

The location is excellent, just a 10-minute walk from the JR subway station and less than a 5-minute walk from Hanamae Station. It's right across from the City Hall, making it easy to reach the City Hall observation deck for a panoramic view of Kobe. Self-service check-in and check-out were available. I booked different room types for two nights, and the receptionist helped me change them to the same room for consecutive nights, so I didn't have to change rooms or move my luggage – I was so happy! The breakfasts were different each day and very plentiful. There was no queue when I went to eat around 7 am, and they even offered food to take back to my room. Luggage can be stored at the front desk.

The hotel is located right next to the newly opened shopping street, very close to Hankyu Hanshin train station. I saw some reviews mentioning it's a bit far from the subway station. The room, although small, was well-equipped and very good.

스마 해변과 가까워서 매우 좋은 호텔입니다. 서비스가 아주 좋았고 시설도 매우 만족스럽습다만 호텔의 특성(?)상 가족보다는 커플이 방문하기에 좋습니다.

I booked this place at the last minute as we wanted to extend our stay in Arima Onsen by one night and most hotels were fully-booked. I searched on *********** but couldn't find any suitable accomodation so thought to try Trip.com. This hotel came up only on this site and I was delighted to find it. At first I was concerned by the lack of reviews, but all the reviews were good and the room looked ideal for a family of four; 2 western beds and 2 tatami beds, with spacious living area and separate bathroom and toilet. It was really great value for money. The size of the room was very generous, and the facilities were great. We made use of the Onsen baths and the table tennis room during our stay. None of the staff spoke english but this wasn't an issue as they were all adept at using google translate. The location is also fine - it is situated between the town and the ropeway, so it is easy walking distance to each, which was very useful since they dont offer any shuttle service. All in all I would reccomend it for a short stay in Arima onsen as it is really good value for money.

Since I arrived close to 10 PM, I didn't have time to explore the surroundings. The public bath was almost empty. The next day, I booked the shuttle bus to the station to head back to Sannomiya. If you're looking for a resort-like experience, this might not be the best fit. The hotel also doesn't offer breakfast, and they charge a bathing fee when you check out.

I liked the room. It had a good layout and everything I needed to be comfortable. The bed and pillow were nice, and the internet speed was good. However the desk and everything on it was covered in dust. It's located between the two main train stations, but close to neither. When I checked out, I asked to leave my bags with reception for 2 hours while I went to breakfast, but was told that only guest checking in can check their bags ☹️. I was able to leave them in the lobby, though. There is construction happening right next door, so it was a bit noisy during the day. Long waits for the elevator, which is slow and busy. Potentially, it's a nice hotel. It just needs some improvement to the cleanliness and staff friendliness.
