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.

This hotel boasts a fantastic location, very close to the metro station, with a commercial street right downstairs and a drugstore next door, making shopping incredibly convenient. The room was tidy and clean, with great natural light, making for a very comfortable stay. They offer complimentary drinks, and the latte was delicious. There's also an ice machine available at all times. You can store your luggage in advance, and the staff were warm and attentive. Overall, it was a superb experience!

The twin room was quite spacious and well-equipped. The service was excellent! There's a coffee bar in the lobby, and they even offer donuts around 4 PM. You can reach the hotel in about 5 minutes on foot from Suncity Exit 21 via the underground passage, or from the JR East Exit.

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.

clean, location well, nearby station, lots of restaurant around.

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.
