Hotels With Spa in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

The room was spacious and the facilities were business-oriented, typical of an older five-star hotel. While the decor felt a bit dated, it was very well-maintained, clean, and tidy. The 'mystery room' booking was a huge surprise; the price was amazing, probably a third of what it would normally cost.

First off, this location is a bit out of the way, if you intend to stay close to the downtown...you have to take the ”Portliner” a few stops. No issue for me, but did not realize this when I booked. I chose it because of the onsen / sauna, and I was very satisfied: this was the best sauna / cold tub I had in Japan (so far). Was hotter (and colder) than anything else. The actual hot-tub was good too, but I focus on sauna ＞ cold tub cycles more than anything. Rooms are new and look good, if not a bit small. As expected. Stay for a night if you are on the fence...use the onsen...have a coffee-milk afterwards. You'll feel great. Rooftoop bar / restaurant was nice as well and very friendly staff!

Excellent value for money and a fantastic experience! The hotel is located in Chinatown, surrounded by tons of great food options, and transportation is quite convenient. The indoor hot spring, sauna, and bath facilities are absolutely wonderful! If you love soaking in hot springs and enjoying a sauna, you definitely shouldn't miss this. Soaking multiple times a day is pure bliss! The staff's service attitude is great, and the hygiene and environment are also very good. Although the room size isn't large, it's really clean and tidy. The clothes and slippers provided were perfect to change into before heading straight to the bath! Some of Kobe's attractions are also within walking distance. I highly recommend this place to all my friends!

Stunning views, almost all rooms face west towards the bridge and sunset. Excellent location, the beach is right in front, but you have to cross under tracks and highway, 5-6 min walk after you exit the escalator. Beds in adjoining rooms are large, we could easily fit a family of 6 in 2 rooms, and you even add extra beds if needed.

The room was spacious and comfortable, providing a serene atmosphere for relaxation. The onsen facilities, along with the provided Japanese bath suits and slippers, added a delightful touch to the experience. The breakfast buffet featured a variety of healthy Japanese options, which I found both satisfying and nourishing. Additionally, the view of Kobe Tower from my room was a charming highlight. The hotel's design reflects a refined minimalistic luxury, creating an elegant and calming environment. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a blend of comfort and traditional Japanese hospitality.

For location, is not bad. 10 mins walk from the Main city centre or Chinatown. The hotel service and facilities is great! The room is clean although a little dated but that's typical in Japan tbh.

We had a very spacious corner twin room for 2 of us! So generous! Also the onsen was very clean and we loved it! Parking was full when we arrived but they directed us to a nearby parking lot with fixed parking rate. Love this place!

Pros: 1. The lobby is grand and spacious, which is quite rare for hotels in Japan. 2. The location is excellent. There's a subway station right downstairs, and Shin-Kobe Station is just a 3-minute walk away, making Shinkansen access super convenient. The cable car station for Nunobiki Herb Garden is also next door, and Kitano Ijinkan (Foreigner's Residences) is only a 10-minute walk. 3. The view from the guest room window is lovely. 4. The breakfast buffet is of high quality, and there's also a Japanese set breakfast option (if you're staying only 1-2 nights, I recommend sticking to the buffet; for three nights, you might try the set meal one day). 5. The staff are well-trained and have excellent service attitudes. Cons: 1. The guest rooms' decor and furniture are quite outdated and lack design flair. They are overly simple and plain, not matching the impressive lobby. 2. In November, there was no air conditioning in the room. The south-facing room got a lot of sun, making it very stuffy and hot. I had to keep the emergency exit open to make it more bearable. Overall, it's still worth recommending.

Stay for one night with breakfast included, and have dinner outside at a pub or bar. Since it was a weekday, there weren't many restaurants open, but I searched for it on Google and went to an izakaya. On the way home, we took a detour to a bar district and took a break at the hotel before heading to the public bath. The breakfast buffet style was satisfying with many items. Next time I would like to go with a plan that allows me to eat dinner in my room.

An excellent choice for visiting Awaji Island. The rooms are spacious with great views. The hotel's buffet offers a wide selection and is very reasonably priced. What impressed me most was the incredibly friendly and welcoming staff, who were genuinely accommodating and went out of their way to assist. I will definitely stay there again.
