Hotel Dengan Spa di Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

Highly recommend the Portopia for Kobe first-timers! The service is top-notch, and the breakfast buffet has a great variety. Tip: Use their free shuttle bus to get to the city center easily.

A very nice hotel. Our room was spacious enough for two people. The dinner was colorful and probably delicious, although it was difficult to appreciate due to our different taste preferences. The fish and steak were excellent. We only stayed at this place for one day, but it would take several days to fully experience and immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of this place.

It was a very pleasant as usual. I love this hotel and you won’t disappoint. The hotel is very clean and has all the facilities what you need while you are travelling. The temples were not far from the hotel.

First off, this location is a bit out of the way, if you intend to stay close to the downtown...you have to take the ”Portliner” a few stops. No issue for me, but did not realize this when I booked. I chose it because of the onsen / sauna, and I was very satisfied: this was the best sauna / cold tub I had in Japan (so far). Was hotter (and colder) than anything else. The actual hot-tub was good too, but I focus on sauna ＞ cold tub cycles more than anything. Rooms are new and look good, if not a bit small. As expected. Stay for a night if you are on the fence...use the onsen...have a coffee-milk afterwards. You'll feel great. Rooftoop bar / restaurant was nice as well and very friendly staff!

First time staying at a Dormy hotel inn and super impressed with the level of hospitality for the price! 1. Public onsen and sauna are available on the top floor. Gender segregated with both indoor and outdoor (rotenburo) sections and the usual amenities. Only the sauna is closed overnight, the onsen remains open. Washing machine and dryer are available on 12F too. The washing machine is free, the dryer is not. 2. Free refreshment once you're done with your onsen. Ice cream at night and probiotic drink in the morning. 3. Free serving of ramen (yonakisoba) at night from 21:30-23:00. Head over to the restaurant at 2F. 4. Breakfast buffet is available and it was honestly quite decent for the price. Would stay at Dormy again if I return to Japan 😊

The hotel overall is good.   Service amd facility are all good.  Only one problem and I will never book this hotel again for this reason.   The hotel only has room service for breakfast.   And really don’t like it.   When I used this hotel 3 years ago, they restaurant for breakfast is really wonderful.   Unfortunately, now it is only open for lunch.

The service of the hotel is really nice. It just a few stop to USJ and expo. If you are a budget traveler looking for cozy hotel in amagasaki, this must be a good one!

We booked two standard rooms for one night in mid-March 2026. The location was excellent—both the subway station and a supermarket were conveniently located on the basement level. However, the hotel rooms felt quite old and they really need renovation as soon as possible. Three of us couldn’t sleep due to the hot temperature. The rooms have fixed windows that can’t be opened for proper ventilation, and because both rooms face west, the rooms stayed very warm (around 26–28°C). Although I can’t remember the name of the customer service staff member, we truly appreciated her attitude and assistance. Thank you so much!

I had a wonderful **3-night stay** at Seaside Hotel Maiko Villa Kobe. The location is beautiful, with relaxing seaside views and a stunning look at the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and professional, and the breakfast was delicious with a good variety of options. Overall, it was a peaceful and enjoyable stay, and I would gladly return and recommend this hotel to others.

This onsen was pure bliss. The hot spring water was so relaxing, the scenery was stunning, and everything was super clean. I felt completely refreshed afterward. One of the best experiences I’ve had in Japan — highly recommended!
