Hotels near Kobe Animal Kingdom

This is an older hotel, but both its exterior and interior are very well-maintained. Staying in a west-facing room with a view of the Ferris wheel at night is incredibly dreamy. Breakfast is available until 11 AM, making for a very comfortable and relaxing stay.

The location is truly excellent. There's a supermarket right next door, and it's less than a 5-minute walk to the train station. Plus, there are tons of dining options just a minute away – it's fantastic! My only complaint is that the hairdryer is really bad; the airflow is incredibly weak.

The hotel's decor is very distinctive, and the facilities are complete. There's a slope at the entrance. The TV can display the washing machine's usage time, but it's not a countdown, which is a bit strange. The shower water occasionally fluctuates between hot and cold.

Amazing hotel, would recommend and stay here again

Hotel location: Right next to Ikuta Shrine, with a nice view of the shrine from the window. It's a 15-20 minute walk to the Kitano Ijinkan area and less than a 5-minute walk to the famous Kobe beef restaurant, Kobe Plaisir. Disadvantage: It's a 10-15 minute walk from the subway station, and it's uphill, which can be tiring if you have a lot of luggage.

The decor is in the classic European style of the Monterey Group, but the room amenities are entirely business hotel standard. The space is utilized to the absolute maximum (it's very small), but considering the price, it's quite fitting, so there's nothing to complain about.

The quality is consistently stable; it's about a 5-minute walk from the station, with a shopping street or skybridge along the way. However, this particular location does not have a convenience store downstairs.

We enjoyed our stay and just across the street is the shopping and food area! Also just few minutes from the big brands. Recommended for family with kids like us.
