Hotels in Kobe, Japan – Book at Best Prices 2026

"The entire apartment is equipped with brand new facilities, very neat and clean. The water pressure in the bathroom is excellent, and the space is ample, giving a good sense of openness. Self check-in was simple, convenient, and fast. There are cooking utensils and an extractor fan for cooking. The air conditioning is sufficient, and the toilet and shower are separated. Thumbs up. Downstairs, there are many restaurants and shops, making shopping and dining very convenient. The only downside is that towels are not provided and need to be rented for a fee."

"The hostel is very close to Oishi Station, only 200 meters away, just across an alley. It's a bit further from Rokko-dori Station, about a kilometer away. There are convenience stores and bakeries nearby. You can walk to Mount Rokko and Kobe University to watch the sunset and night view, a popular spot for taking photos. It's also convenient to take a bus to Kobe Sannomiya (around 200 yen). Compared to other hostels, the facilities are a bit older, and there's no elevator, so you have to carry your luggage upstairs yourself. However, it's clean and tidy. The lady who checked us in spoke English and was very friendly. There was also an elderly gentleman there at other times, who was also very nice. Initially, seeing a 4.3 rating, I was worried about a bad experience, but the actual stay was quite good."

"This hotel is located halfway between Osaka and Kobe, a spot most guests wouldn't typically choose as it's inconvenient for both cities. It primarily caters to tour groups from Hong Kong and Taiwan, offering bus transfers to and from Osaka, which makes travel easier for them. It's like visiting Shanghai but having your travel agency book your accommodation in Kunshan to save money. The hotel is conveniently located, just a five-minute walk from both Koshien Stadium and the JR station. Right downstairs, there's a shopping mall with a large Aeon supermarket on B2, which offers tax-free services and dedicated counters for medicine and gifts. It's super convenient for shopping, closing at 10 PM. On the 7th floor, there are vending machines, a microwave for heating food, and an ice machine. The lobby restaurant can get quite crowded during breakfast, so I'd recommend going during off-peak hours. It can be quite overwhelming when a large tour group all comes down at once."

"This hotel is quite good. Its prime location in the Arima Onsen resort area is a major draw. A significant highlight is the hotel's own onsen, featuring the unique 'Kinsen' (Gold Spring) and 'Ginsen' (Silver Spring) waters, which are a rare find elsewhere. Additionally, the hotel has a swimming pool, with free access for children, adding to its overall value. Perched on a hilltop, it offers fantastic panoramic views. While some facilities might be a bit dated, the overall experience was very pleasant, and it offers excellent value for money. I would happily return to this hotel given the chance. The buffet breakfast was satisfactory. A thoughtful touch is their arranged shuttle service for guests departing at 7 PM. Finally, the Japanese staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly and enthusiastic, which is definitely worth commending."

"It was a good place, but I have booked the smoking room by mistake, the smell of cigarettes was really strong, besides good place and service."

"The room is clean, parking is very convenient, the toilet is large, and the facilities are very new. However, the wifi is almost unavailable. The movie viewing is good. The hotel is only suitable for self-driving people. There is little public transportation nearby."

"Staying in Kobe for a night, I booked this hotel after reading reviews that it's close to Sannomiya Station and relatively new. It was super convenient coming from Kansai Airport; I took the airport bus directly to the Sannomiya bus terminal, and after getting off, it was less than a 10-minute walk with Google Maps. Getting to JR Sannomiya Station from the hotel takes a maximum of 5 minutes, and the Hanshin Line is less than 10 minutes away – both are very close! There are plenty of dining options downstairs, and a 7-Eleven right next door. If you walk out the main hotel entrance and turn left, there's a cute dessert shop called Dorsia about five minutes away. Plus, it's not far from the Sannomiya shopping district, so you can easily walk there. I forgot to take pictures of the room, but in a double room, there was no problem opening a 26-inch suitcase."

"From Osaka Uehommachi, go directly to Uozaki (Google Maps says ”no transfer” means you get off and change to the next bus at the same platform), then transfer to the Rokko Express (which offers a wonderful view and a unique experience). Get off at Island Center Station three stops later, and the hotel is right at the East Exit of the overpass. Bus No. 23 is located on the first floor of the hotel, reaching Kobe Mita in the city center in about 20 minutes. The stop is right in front of the Hankyu Department Store. There are also buses to Shin-Kobe, but they run less frequently. The bus to Kobe Airport is also on the first floor. Reservations can be made at the front desk, and there's a self-service ticket machine at the entrance. The earliest bus leaves at 6:23 AM, and the trip takes just over an hour. There's a FamilyMart convenience store next to the hotel. We booked a terrace room, which had a large outdoor terrace. The hotel's Hama Onsen is open until midnight and features several large and small pools, including an outdoor area. It's a great place to soak after strolling through the streets."

"Stayed here 2 days before my Kobe cruise and it was good enough to rebook for another 3 days after we returned. The hotel is quiet new and located on top of the sannomiya station, giving underground access to most trains and shopping malls nearby. It's basically the center of Kobe. Exits are 1st floor to the street and 2nd floor to station. Reception is 17th floor. Rooms are slightly bigger than most hotels in Japan. Even number room gives you the larger massage machine but room is smaller than odd numbered rooms. These have a smaller massage chair but bigger space and faces the port terminal if you have a cruise ship waiting. They provide amenities, coffee and tea at 17th floor. Did not try the breakfast but there is a convenient store on 2nd floor of the station, near the hotel exit - lots if sandwiches and snacks here. There're hundreds of restaurants and malls underground and you'll get lost most of the time so look for entrance A1 and A2 to get back. Airport bus from kansai stops 200m away and bus to the airport departs 100m from the station. Most of the highest rated restaurants are not more than 400m from the hotel. I'll definitely stay here again."

"Not bad, the capsule room is more private. Facilities: You can take a shower on the 2nd floor, there is no water outage time, you can eat and make phone calls on the 5th floor, the 34th floor is a capsule room, there are three sockets inside, but two are very close, so you can use two at the same time Environment: There are many convenience stores around, it is very close to JR Sannomiya Station, and it is very convenient to go to Osaka"
