Hotels near Kobe Animal Kingdom

Very close to Sannomiya Station. On the first day, we took the 2200 yen airport express bus, which runs frequently, for a little over an hour. The next morning, we walked 4 minutes to Nishimura's Coffee Main Store (Nishimura Coffee Shop Nakayamate Main Store) at 8:30 AM for breakfast, which cost about 1500 yen per person. We then took a 600 yen taxi we hailed on the street to Kitano Ijinkan, visiting the Weathercock House at 9:00 AM and Moegi House at 9:30 AM. After that, we walked 10 minutes to the Uroko House, then another 10 minutes to Nunobiki Herb Garden, where we took the cable car to the top station of the herb garden. We walked to the Male and Female Waterfalls, then walked to Shin-Kobe to take a bus to Arima Onsen for a golden hot spring bath. We took a bus back to Sannomiya at 5:30 PM, walked three minutes to our car, and had Kobe beef at 6:00 PM. We walked back to the hotel in 5 minutes. The next day, we walked 8 minutes to Sannomiya JR Station to take the Super Hakuto train to Tottori. The hotel's location is super convenient!

I stayed at this hotel for a 5-night, 6-day trip to Kobe. I first used it in January and booked it again because the location is excellent. It's less than a 5-minute walk from Sannomiya Station, which was perfect for day trips using the Kansai Wide Area Pass. It rained heavily during my stay, but the hotel's direct access to the AEON Mall basement and the underground shopping street leading to Kobe's city center made it very convenient. There's a 7-Eleven convenience store right next to the hotel, along with many great restaurants, which I utilized throughout my trip. Of course, they also stored my luggage before and after check-in, which allowed me to enjoy my trip even more. I'm a light sleeper, so I requested a quiet room before checking in, and they were very accommodating, providing a room that allowed me to sleep well for all 5 nights and 6 days. My only regret is that I added breakfast for all 5 nights and 6 days. The menu was almost identical to my previous visit, with similar dishes every day, making me regret adding breakfast. I usually love having breakfast at hotels and always add it, so this was the most disappointing aspect. I've stayed at other Sotetsu chain hotels in Osaka and Kyoto, and this was quite a letdown in terms of breakfast. If they improve the food quality, I think it could be the best hotel. Everything else was great, except for the breakfast! Next time I visit Kobe, I plan to stay here again, but without adding breakfast!

The Kobe Meriken Park Oriental Hotel, with its striking wave-like exterior, resembles a luxury cruise ship docked in the harbor. Rooms come with private balconies, offering unparalleled ocean views and stunning nightscapes, making it the absolute best choice for a vacation in Kobe!

This is a great place to stay if you're driving, as there's an indoor parking garage right next door where you can buy discount tickets (1,700 yen if you don't leave between 3:00 PM on the day of arrival and 11:00 AM the next day). To exit, simply insert your original parking ticket into the payment machine, then insert the discount ticket (purchased from the hotel front desk). The location is excellent, very close to the station, and the rooms are quite spacious. The only minor issue is that the bathroom facilities are a bit old. The front desk staff are all very polite!

The location is excellent, and I always stay here. It's great for the subway, airport, and even taxis and limousines. There are also many restaurants nearby.

Great location overall, close to the kobe-sannomiya station. however due to the construction works taking place in the vicinity of the hotel, pedestrian access is very narrow towards the hotel entrance. Hotel room is spacious, a little old but very well-mentained. water pressure is great, but air-con slightly weak for Japan summer

The hotel's location is quite good, not far from Motomachi Station and the city bus stop, making transportation convenient. It's right next to a shopping street and across from Daimaru Department Store, which is great for shopping. The hotel's cleanliness and service are both very good. If you're visiting Kobe and prefer not to stay in the bustling Sannomiya area, this hotel is a quiet and convenient option.

first stay at Daiwa Roynet Premier in Kobe but it was a very enjoyable stay! 100% would stay here again. breakfast buffet was especially enjoyable for the stay. in a pretty good location as wel - highly recommended at the price point!

When attending a baseball game at Hotto Motto Field Kobe, this is always the first hotel I book. I appreciate the convenience of being able to get to Shin-Kobe and the stadium on a single subway line. I also like that it's not as bustling as Sannomiya, which makes for a more relaxing stay. I was especially pleased to find Epsom salt bath salts and disposable terry cloth slippers at the amenity bar in the lobby. Although I noticed a bit of dust in some areas of the room, overall it was very clean and I had a comfortable stay.
