Hotel Kolam Air Panas di Kobe

Hands down best stay so far during my 15 days in Japan and the service is really immaculate. I've been to Japan on several solo trips and this is easily one of the most memorable hotels. The staff are really nice and the hotel room view is incredible. The room they upgraded me to speaks for itself, beautiful bathroom and really good amenities. Although the hotel is situated off the mainland, there is a portliner rail service and also a complementary shuttle service to two of the main stations in Kobe city area. Really value for money.

this hotel situated in very good location beside Shin Kobe Station which can get you to anywhere such as Osaka, Kyoto, Himeiji, even Tokyo. The hotel is consider rather big as compared to local Japanese hotel. Services & breakfast was excellent. Highly recommended.

Hotel Okura is very prestigious place with Japanese emperor frequently visited. One of the big conglomerates Pre world war 2. 1 year ago, Japanese emperor had visited Okura Kobe. However, it has been subpar to say the least and overpriced. Cleanliness (Stains in a lot of spots) As you can see from the photo. There were stains at bathtub. When I asked the front, they said it is inevitable due to how long it has been used. Even the washroom inside Okura had stains and dust, which is very concerning considering it’s price point Location (Good for sea views but bad for tourism, walking and traveling) The location for sea view is amazing and it’s near haborland and BeKobe. However, Meriken-Oriental park also offer the same sea view + direct port for ferry with same price point and better cleanliness. The big problem with its location is it is far from everywhere else. Some tourist spots such as Kitano Ijinkan, sanomiya city center, waterfalls and herb garden. The JR is at Shin-Kobe which is around 15min taxi. Walking is pain the ass, as front entrance is only for cars, in order to walk, you need to go through one of the three sub-entrances, which requires you taking elevator or walking stairs The location is not bad but there are hotels with better location such as ANA Crowne Plaza Kobe. Directly under the shinkansen, 5 min walk (one street) from kitano ijikan and one straight line to waterfall and herb garden. The service was also fantastic. Service (Amazing, but can’t really speak English) The only thing going for the hotel with this price point was its service. Everyone was really kind and helpful, very professional. I have seen several times staffs were struggling with English speakers but aside it’s amazing. Amenities. (It got the regular stuff but lacking minor stuff like weight scale, free newspaper etc which gets offered at same price point)

When i arrived with my friend, we were greeted warmly at the entrance and were explained everything at the front desk. After the check in, the Lady showed and explained to us the common rooms as well as the bath. Rooms were very good. The cafe area is also very good. Well i can go on forever like that. Long story short i very much recommend this Hotel, especially for couples. Just the price makes it not possible to come here more frequently^^. They have a shuttle service as well, even so the station is just 5 minute walk from the ryokan. But i guess for elderly people or people with heavy luggage that might be a help. The breakfast was great, with the ladys in Kimono explaining a bit and the view was superb. Most restaurants close in the evening, so we could see a lot of people storming the convenient stores^^. As for most of the Hotels: The staff is what makes the difference. And here i give them a special thanks. Very kind, friendly and helpful. I hope they will be there again when i come next time. improvement tipps: No lockers in one of the Onsen. Also the Phone had no description, so not even a japanese person know what number to dial -.- . Also for me personally i would like that the opening times for the cafe area is longer. It is so comfortable there^^.

古泉閣ロッジができたばかりの頃に友人と来たことがあり、いつかは子どもを連れていきたいなぁと思っていたところ…念願が叶いました！こちらは、素晴らしいことだらけで長くなりますので、箇条書きにします。 ・駅について送迎車の依頼をTEL、その時点で女性の電話対応がとても素晴らしく、期待感が高まる ・送迎車のドライバーさんが親切で、道すがら、ホテルの知りたいポイントを丁寧に教えてくださる ・フロントの方がどなたも柔和で丁寧 ・夜はBBQをいただきましたが、スタッフさんの対応が親切　肌寒いので、ブランケットやカイロの準備まで ・BBQのランプ牛が驚くほど美味しく追加注文 ・ホテルの都合で、レストラン朝食→和食になりましたが 素晴らしく美味しく、豪華　また和食レストランの通路からの山々の景色が素晴らしかった ・和食の担当女性の方々も笑顔で親切丁寧　子どもが小さく「ごちそうさまでした」 といったにも関わらず、通路のほうから気づいて「はーい」と声がかかったのにもほっこり ・ロッジの手入れがよいのか、老朽化しておらず、とても快適 ・お湯がよく、子供の湿疹がかなり改善 あげればキリがありませんが、こちらも予約が取りづらいのが、唯一の難点ですね。 どうにか子どもの誕生日には予約がとれましたので、次回も楽しみにしています。 プールも入れるくらいお天気がよくなりますように

We had a wonderful 1 night stay a few months ago before tourism opened back up. Highly recommend this place for people who are into more private, chill time. Loved the concept of this ryokan because instead of shared baths there were numerous choices of private baths throughout the property! Each needed to be booked in advance for a 45 minute session. They had an online reservation system but I think it was only in Japanese (my husband's native language) so I can't comment on that. Our room was fantastic; modern and huge, but still had charm. I think we were in Suite 13 which had its own private bath which you could open up the huge windows to a nice tranquil view of greenery. I liked that the entry had a super long hallway which helped with any noise (so quiet!). Personal touches such as selecting a complimentary gift (small drawstring bag) and fruit tray was noticed and appreciated. They were also very helpful to find us a restaurant to eat dinner at on a Sunday night (since we opted to not have the course dinner) - it was a delightful local meal ran by a married couple! I wish I remembered the name but it was izakaya home cooking style and so delicious. The breakfast on property was AWESOME. I opted to get the Western Style and my husband the Japanese. Such presentation and variety and a perfect start to our day. We would definitely be back to visit this place. They made us feel very welcome and relaxed! Arigatou gozaimasu *bow*

Only 3xx HKDollars for one night suddenly booking !Large room & public bath had staff services! Five min walk from station to hotel !

This onsen hotel is well located within 5 mins walk from the bus and train stations. The only challenge we encountered was pulling the luggage up the slope leading to the hotel. The hotel has a modern feel but with traditional settings and services. The room we had was ample for us. While the breakfast was a standard buffet style meal, the kaiseki dinner was fantastic. We had different food and selection for the two dinners we had there. The onsen was great with different pools with different minerals both indoors and outdoors. I only tried the onsen which is opened to the public and I am thoroughly happy with them. There are also saunas in the same area. There is a smaller onsen only for hotel guests but are open only for selected hours. We took a day trip to Kobe city and although there are a couple of changes of trains we have to make, it was rather effortless. Thoroughly enjoyed this hotel, its room, food and location.

超級滿意的酒店，性價比極高。從大阪坐JR線過來，在元町站下車，地鐵出來穿過南京町就到了，非常好找。離商店街很近，也可以走路到達美利堅公園。附近有家小麪店的蕎麥涼麪巨巨巨好吃，都回國了還在懷念。每天晚上去吃酒店免費提供的拉麪，然後去14樓看漫畫和夜景。因為大姨媽沒能體驗泡澡有點可惜，免費的養樂多和冰棍也沒吃。屋子裡很乾凈，枕頭屬於實心硬一些的，不變性，這很難得，睡的超級舒服。還發了免費飲品券。離開的時候先地鐵去三宮，然後坐大巴直達機場。很幸運在梅雨季節完全沒遇到下雨，五天的日本之行太舒心了

その名のとおり、神戸港の一角で、温泉が楽しめます。一階に外来入浴可能な温泉、10階には宿泊客専用の温泉があります。一階の温泉はツツジの紅と新緑の若葉に囲まれており、庭池の緋鯉、いや鮒かな？、にでもなった気分でのんびり休めます。10回の温泉からは海、空が見渡せ、雄大な気分になれます。部屋は温泉旅館とホテルの融合スタイルなのか、半分畳部屋様です。畳部分は使いませんでした。外には広いバルコニーがあり、海が見降ろせます。食事はビュッフェスタイルで、慌ただしい感じ。リゾートホテルなのか、温泉旅館なのか、不思議な感じです。
