"Our room was ready when we arrived at 2pm and made available to us immediately. The room was clean, the staff friendly. Tea, coffee, juice and water are complementary all day long and between 5 & 8 pm they offer wine and snacks. What more could we ask for? Excellent quality for the price!"

"I chose the Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kobe-Sannomiya for my trip to Kobe this time, and the overall experience was excellent. I highly recommend it to everyone. The hotel's location is absolutely superb, just a few minutes' walk from JR Sannomiya Station. Transportation around the hotel is extremely convenient, with all kinds of transport options readily available, making it easy to get to various attractions in Kobe city or to Kansai Airport. Plus, there's a convenience store, supermarket, and various restaurants right downstairs, making shopping and dining incredibly easy. The hotel facilities are also very complete. The rooms are clean and tidy, with a modern and minimalist decor. Although the space isn't particularly large, the layout is well-designed, making for a comfortable stay. The bedding is soft and comfortable, allowing for a good rest after a tiring day. The rooms are well-equipped with amenities like a large TV and blackout curtains, and some rooms even feature a separate bathtub and shower. On the second floor, the hotel has a laundry room, microwave, vending machines, and other facilities, meeting all daily needs. Additionally, the hotel offers complimentary skincare products, face masks, and drip coffee, which is a thoughtful touch. In terms of service, the hotel staff are all friendly. Whether it was checking in or asking questions, I received warm assistance. The hotel also offers self-check-in, which is convenient and fast. However, the hotel does have a few minor drawbacks. For example, some rooms are close to the train tracks, so you might hear the sound of trains passing. Guests who are sensitive to noise might want to bring earplugs. Also, the hotel's breakfast selection is relatively limited, and the dishes don't change much day-to-day, which could become monotonous for long-term stays. Overall, the advantages of Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kobe-Sannomiya far outweigh its disadvantages, making it an ideal accommodation choice for a trip to Kobe."

"The hotel's location is excellent, right within the Motomachi shopping street, yet surprisingly quiet. Next door there's a lovely coffee shop with great coffee and delicious bread. Several famous old coffee shops like Nishimura, Kohshodo, Taco, the bakery Riki, and a drugstore are all within a 1-2 minute walk. Daimaru department store is conveniently located at the entrance of the shopping street. It's about a 3-minute walk to JR Motomachi Station, and you can reach Osaka Umeda in about 30 minutes. Sannomiya, Kobe, is roughly a 10-15 minute walk away. This hotel offers easy access to everything. What's particularly impressive is that the hotel cleans the rooms daily, which is not always common in Japan. Even if you don't require a full cleaning, they'll hang fresh toiletries and towels on your door. Although the room isn't huge, it's perfectly fine for a solo traveler. It's clean, well-maintained, and offers incredible value for money, truly exceeding my expectations and making my trip more enjoyable. The front desk also has staff who speak Chinese, and everyone is incredibly patient and always smiling. The service is truly top-notch."

"The location of Kobe Lumen Hotel is very good. It is in the city and the parking lot is easy to find. It is in the alley directly opposite the hotel and the price is reasonable. The hotel service is very good. We arrived very late and the check-in time was past, but they did not neglect us and arranged to check in immediately. When we checked out in the morning, we were 5 minutes late and they did not say anything. They were very gentle. The room was very clean and warm. The sound insulation effect was very good and suitable for living. In short, because of the comparison with the previous one, this one is simply heaven. The only flaw is that the room is a little small. Everything else is acceptable, mainly because of the cheap price."

"The hotel is generally OK. They give breakfast in the morning, you can order Japanese and European. You need to order breakfast in time. There is enough breakfast in the morning. The amenities were good, although one day the trash was not taken out. I don’t know what it was connected with, apparently there was some kind of delay. The main minus is the location from the station, it’s about 20 minutes’ walk up a small hill. The trains run strictly in Japanese and until late. Be prepared for this if you choose the hotel for its price. You have to walk the last 50 meters along the highway. It’s also easy to get to Arima directly from Kobe, where there is a good choice of inexpensive accommodation. I liked Kobe in general. So think before making a choice. I walk a lot and the location of the hotel was not a problem for me."

"Located in the central business district, the hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Hanshin Sannomiya Station. The walk itself is quite enjoyable, lined with numerous restaurants, gourmet food stalls, and chic boutiques, so the distance wasn't an issue at all. Considering the price, the room was more than satisfactory – clean and well-maintained. The breakfast spread was also excellent. I even found that paying directly at the front desk upon arrival offered a slightly better rate than booking for the next day, making it fantastic value for money. This place is a paradise for shoppers, with a The North Face store right downstairs and other popular brands like Arc'teryx, Mont-bell, Blue Bottle Coffee, and Issey Miyake just a stone's throw away. The area still feels quite local and hasn't been heavily touristed, offering a more genuine and relaxed Japanese experience. The hotel's proximity to the sea also offers a delightful evening stroll to the port, where you can enjoy quiet, undisturbed views. The gentle night air and boundless romantic serenity were truly therapeutic."

"I made a reservation on the day because a triple room with a semi-double room and sofa bed was available! The room was quite small, so I couldn't spread out my carrier (T_T) But the amenities were plentiful and very nice! The welcome drink of sweet sake was also delicious! The only drawback is that all the nearby parking lots are expensive."

"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!"

"Rooms are bigger than average Japanese hotels, basically a new hotel just a minute away from KOBE CHINA TOWN. Plenty of shops to enjoy food or shopping. Breakfast is a little simple Indian restaurant, nothing to choose much. Bicycles can been rent at the front desk for 500 JPY per use. Very convenient to get around the city. Will absolutely stay here every-TIME visiting KOBE."
