Hotell nära Kobe Station

This hotel is a traditional resort-style hotel. It's directly connected to the hotel's second floor via a skybridge from P06 Station on the Kobe Port Liner. The rooms are spacious and include a bathtub, but please note that the hotel's pool and sauna incur additional charges. There is a free hotel shuttle bus service to Kobe Sannomiya Station.

Daiwa always offers great value for money. The environment and service are excellent, with friendly and attentive staff, complete and useful amenities, and convenient self-service machines. It's truly the best choice when visiting Japan.

The hotel's location next to Chinatown makes finding food very convenient. It's also close to Kobe Port Tower, so an evening stroll to the port to enjoy the breeze and night view is very pleasant. The hotel staff are fluent in English, making communication seamless. Amenities are available for self-service on the first floor. We booked a king-size double room this time, which was 17.9 square meters, offering ample space to open two large suitcases. The overall room space was relaxing, and the bed was comfortable, neither too soft nor too hard. The refrigerator also included complimentary welcome snacks: two mango-flavored puddings, which was a thoughtful touch. Two bottles of mineral water were provided, and there's a water dispenser on the 14th floor. The public bath is on the 14th floor, and the open-air bath is fantastic, allowing you to gaze at the stars at night. The washing machines are free, which is incredibly generous! After a bath, you can help yourself to ice cream bars, with four flavors to choose from – truly a great treat. You can also use the massage chairs, which are excellent! However, there are only two massage chairs, so it depends on your luck if you get to use one. In the evening, there's also 'Yonaki Ramen' (night ramen) as a late-night snack, a delicious and warming small portion of soy sauce ramen that I highly recommend trying! The breakfast spread is rich and buffet-style; you'll be full even if you just try a little bit of everything! There are several fruit options, and I especially loved the sweet and not-too-rich cantaloupe! There are many beverages and a wide variety of tea bags, more than you can possibly drink. In conclusion: I highly recommend this place to everyone! I'd love to stay here again if I have the chance!

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!

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 really like this hotel. It's clean, and the room has a small sofa and table, which is convenient for late-night snacks! The location is great, only a ten-minute walk to Sannomiya Station. There are many restaurants on the back streets, a Don Quijote store across the street, and a convenience store downstairs. I highly recommend it!

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 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.

Amazing location and view for the price. Definitely worth staying at if you’re visiting Kobe!
