3 star hotels in Kobe

I really enjoyed my stay at Kobe Sannomiya Union Hotel. The location in Sannomiya is very convenient — only a short walk from the main train stations — making it easy to explore Kobe.

Cheerfully staff at the front desk, room slightly small but it comfortable 👍

The room was quite large, the staff were very friendly, and there was a free welcome drink. Tea bags were also provided. It's also close to Sannomiya, about a 10-minute walk away.

Not a big but cozy room. There is a beautiful view from the window. Nearby is a metro station and a monorail leading to the airport.

The hotel near the Kobe Sannomiya station and also near the center of the Kobe, walk not too far to find the good restaurants. The staff at the front desk can rarely speak English but she willing to help us. The room is standard clean. We got the room near the elevator even we have choose the option far from the elevator in the Trip, anyway the room is quiet so there’s no problem. Attached with the...

It's a 10-minute walk from Sannomiya Station, but Trade Center Station feels a bit closer. They offer welcome drinks, and this hotel has welcome shaved ice. Hahaha. It felt like the heat had disappeared~^^

It was pretty good; I stayed here when I was attending a conference. The 7-Eleven right across from the hotel was very convenient. There are also direct public transport links to the Sannomiya area nearby, making it easy to get around. Overall, it's a good place.

Overall, the room was clean and spacious. The lighting could be dimmed, which was nice. The staff are kind and give a warm welcome. However, the room and carpet were a bit old, which is understandable given the property’s age. - Close to 7-Eleven - near Portliner station (can walk in 4-5 mins)

The location is nearby Kobe airport, port-island. Nearby Ikea - Kobe. The room is clean and comfortable to stay. I just had issue a bit with the AC. I stayed during autumn season, when I arrived the room is super hot and there is no AC. I complaint to the staff they said I need to open the window cause during autumn season they turn off the AC (central) and change it with heater. I understood about...

Clean hotel room, good facilities. Bed mattress was hard, which I liked. Pillow was too hard. As a pretty tall person I could not stand up straight in bathroom. Location is walking distance for business district, and close to public transport.

I chose this hotel because I had a conference at the convention centre not knowing I have limited choice of getting something to eat (looking for halal option). Despite the lacking, I was able to survive for 3 days as I had to commute the Portliner to get something to eat. The location was quite a distance towards the portliner station therefore you have to walk a bit with your luggage if you are coming...

Situated on a man-made island, the hotel is just about a five-minute walk from the light rail station, making it incredibly convenient for getting to the airport and Sannomiya. The room amenities were quite luxurious and very impressive. The staff were exceptionally friendly and incredibly thoughtful, always paying attention to guests' needs. Best of all, it offers excellent value for money. Highly...

For my relatives hospital visits, my mother and I use this hotel as a hub to do things. And I enjoy the environment progresses every time I stay. I see Paul ( notable French cafe) is under construction and Korean market is next to the hotel for shopping. Vietnamese casual select shop, and I bought a running shoes of Adidas ( marathon runner type). I go back soon again with excitement!

Overall, everything is fine. The only issues are that the room is a bit small, and there are very few places to hang clothes.

Taking the bus from Kansai Airport, it's not a long walk from Sannomiya Station. However, we initially went to the wrong hotel, finding another one by mistake. The hotel is located in a bustling market, which is very convenient. It's right behind Nanjingmachi (Chinatown) and extremely close to the seaside and Sannomiya. The hotel has Chinese-speaking staff who were very polite. The room was also quiet...

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, they provided an extra pillow when we requested. There is a microwave on level 2 which you can use to heat up your convenience store food items after.However, we had some issues with the room. 1. The aircon green light is very bright and shines down on your face through the night, would be good to cover it with something. 2. The window blinds are right behind...

The stay was just so so, strategic location and delicious chocolate drinks were provided but the room were smaller than expected & bed were rather stiff & uncomfortable for me. Anyhow kudos to the counter staff for their excellent service!

The room is on the smaller side comparing with the two hotels I lived in Osaka and Hiroshima, but enough for solo traveler like me. The location is just no comparison. I can walk to the harbor and the main shopping center in 15 min. There are so many good restaurants around.

Just about a five-minute walk from the airport shuttle and JR station. The hotel offers self check-in and check-out, and the machines even have a Chinese language option, which is super convenient. Plus, you can pick up toiletries in the lobby – a total win for introverts like me! The room was small but felt really cozy and comfortable.

Alot of food options around the hotel and 5 minutes away from JR sannomiya line. Overall a very comfortable stay!

The hotel closed to the Sannomiyacho where you can find food, shopping, etc. if you plan to go to Motomachi Shopping Street & Nankinmachi (Chinatown), they are all in walking distance (within 18 min). If you are planning to start with a road trip, there is one rental car shop just at the ground level back door of the hotel.

The hotel room was really small; we couldn't even open two suitcases. The windows didn't open, so the room felt stuffy and we had to keep the AC on to air it out. Breakfast was very basic, nowhere near what you'd get in China. However, the location was great – super close to Kobe Sannomiya JR Station, just a 5-minute walk. It was really convenient for getting around and finding places to eat.

Recommended . Very new and nice staying. Convenient next to everything you need.

This is my second time staying at this hotel. Although the room is a bit small, the location is excellent. You can walk to the bus station in less than 5 minutes and take the Shinki Bus directly to Kobe-Sanda Premium Outlets (about a 40-50 minute ride) to start your shopping spree! If you turn left after exiting the hotel, there's a drugstore and City Tower Plaza, which has a large, well-stocked supermarket...

This is my favorite hotel in Kobe, and I stayed here for 4 consecutive nights. Every detail was high-quality and it was excellent value for money. It's the only hotel in Kobe where I'd want to stay again. They even updated their bath bombs from powder to effervescent ones!

Very good location for shopping around. There are many luxury stores and a brand new Human made shop nearby here.

Had a great stay here! The location is perfect—super close to Sannomiya Station, which made getting around a breeze. The room was nice and spacious, really comfortable. The area is safe and quiet at night, so I could actually get a good night's sleep, which is so important when traveling. Highly recommend!

The hotel is a bit old, but it's clean and comfortable, and convenient for getting around with a supermarket right across the street. The room was a bit small; I was just there for a weekend trip with no luggage, but it might not be ideal if you have a big suitcase as there wouldn't be much space to open it.

Very nice hotel,will definitely stay again. room is very new and well equipped.

I found the rooms surprisingly spacious and comfortable for Japan, easily accommodating my needs with great lighting and bedding. I was impressed by the excellent cleanliness and appreciated the professional, English-speaking staff who helped me with local tips and luggage. While I enjoyed the convenient facilities like the private bath areas and free amenities, I did notice some areas where the hotel...

This was my first time staying at a hotel near Sannomiya Station in Kobe. The hotel was well-equipped and offered great value for money. The only downside was the construction outside the entrance, which made getting around inconvenient and required a bit of a detour. However, shopping and dining options were very convenient nearby, and there was a convenience store downstairs.

Although the hotel is a bit old, its proximity to Sannomiya Station is a huge plus. It's incredibly convenient for shopping and exploring nearby attractions, and the Kansai Airport bus stop is also quite close to the hotel!

Check-in and check-out were super convenient, and the transportation was great too. The only downside is that the lobby always smelled so deliciously of grilled meat – well, it is Kobe after all!

The room was very quiet, ensuring a good night's sleep. Check-in and check-out were semi-self-service with staff assistance, making them very quick. We could also store our luggage for free. The lobby offered complimentary toiletries and tea bags, with DHC skincare products and six different types of tea bags. This is the most comprehensive selection I've seen among similar hotels.

Starting to get a bit dated but very convenient location

During our stay, the construction work is going on around the hotel, so the location is not that convenient. We have to walk longer distance.

Whenever I visit friends in Kobe, this hotel is the first selection, good location, friendly staff, quiet place.

Amazing location in Kobe Sannomiya - walking distance to the station Great breakfast! Very friendly stuff at the front desk ❤️ We have stayed at other Daiwa Roynet Hotels before in other cities - this one definitely wins our heart Many restaurants around, but not too touristic I believe it's on the opposite side of the station to the other more tourist spots Room is spacious! We could place...

The room was quite spacious, and the hotel's location is super convenient. Within 400 meters, there are various restaurants and shops, and a Lawson convenience store is right next door. The hotel also has its own parking lot.

Hotel was cheap, very nice and tidy. Location is quite good, next tae the family mart, 10 mins walk to station. But the mattress was super hard, unable to sleep.

Location near 1. Kobe Sannomoya train stations. 2. City Loop, Port Loop buses for most tourist sights 3. Subway lines 4. 24h family mart convenience store (right below hotel) Rooms are big Good!

Warm reception. Proximity to Sannomiya station and convenient stores.

The hotel breakfast was excellent, and its proximity to the subway and attractions was a huge plus. The surrounding area has a lively street full of restaurants at night. For Japan, the room wasn't small at all; there was plenty of space to organize luggage. Overall, it was great.

The hotel was located in a quiet part of the neighbourhood where and is a 5 - 8 minute walk from the Boeki Center Station on the Port Liner and is just 1 train station away from Sannomiya station. The surrounding area near the hotel had a convenience store as well a few restaurants not too far from the hotel. The staff was very helpful and was patient and helpful with my friend and I and tried to...

The room was definitely spacious by Japanese standards. Overall, it's pretty good, so no worries there. It's a little bit old, but still clean. You can't ask for too much when you're near the airport.

Clean hotel, great atmosphere, and very friendly staff. Convenient location. Had a pleasant stay and would definitely come back.

The breakfast is much better than expected. The hotel is conveniently located in quiet residential area.

Hotel near to train station. Simple and clean.hotel staff are friendly also. Price not expensive and very authentic Japanese feel of as western style hotel

I really like this hotel. Its location is excellent. Right next to it are a Lawson, a bakery, and a self-service 24h laundry. It’s just a 5-minute walk to the main subway station, and 10 minutes to a lively shopping area. The price is reasonable, the clean and tidy. The lobby offers free coffee, tea bags, self-service laundry, vending machine and a microwave. The front desk staff also speaks very...

Comfortable room and not too far from stations. In fact, right in between two railway stations. Right next to a 24 hours restaurant and close to other amenities as well as central Kobe Sannomiya.

Stayed here for 2 nights. Its location is ok. Not far from all the shops and restaurants. There is a matsuya restaurant downstairs and a lawsons 10 m away. The room is very clean and simple. It’s modern and fresh, spacious for a 3 star hotel in Japan. There is a water machine on my floor so you don’t need to spend money on water. There are couple of washing machines and a dryer. 500 yens to get it...

It's neat, but the bathtub is small. Compared to the hotels I've been to before, it's not quite impressive. We stayed there for a night only during our bike adventure.

Great hotel in a very good location. It was in between JR Kobe Station and JR Sannomiya station so getting to the hotel from either station was very convenient. As you walk into the lobby, the hotel is very new and modern, the walls and floor were immaculate. The rooms was newly furnished, extremely cozy and well lit with an abundance of wall outlets. To my surprise, the room was even big enough for...

Pretty new hotel. I like its simplicity. The rooms are very clean and nice. It's not so far from either Shin Kobe or Sannomiya station. Perfect location.

Parking is opposite the hotel (Deb parking), need to get the parking ticket and pass it to the hotel reception for payment. Pretty convenient, there is starbucks just next door, chinatown is nearby, walkable distance to kobe port. Room is comparatively spacious compared to usual rooms we stayed in Japan.

The room was fairly clean, just a bit too small. The location is convenient, right in the city center. However, for nearly 700, I don't feel it's very good value for money.

Switched from Dormy Inn, which is 150m away, and this place exceeded my expectations! The free coffee and snacks were a fantastic bonus, the service was great, and the location is excellent. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

great location. parking few mins walk away though. amenities is good. room is clean. near to major locations.

The twin room was a bit small, but luckily I only had a 24-inch suitcase so it could lie flat. The hotel's location is fantastic, right next to Nankin-machi. Motomachi shopping street and BAL department store are also nearby. The bus back to Kansai Airport is just a 15-minute walk away. Staying a few days in Kobe is truly relaxing with fewer crowds.

The hotel is right across from Daimaru Department Store, with many luxury and trendy brands in the vicinity, making it incredibly convenient for shoppers. Sannomiya Station is also a manageable walk, taking about 10 minutes. The room isn't large, but it's spotlessly clean. There's enough floor space to comfortably open your suitcase. The bathroom features a separate wet and dry area, though there isn...

Staying in hotel Vischio Amagasaki was wonderful. Its location is superb just walking distance from bus terminal and railway station.

Beer garden was great! Not only 1 kind of beer but they had Asahi, Kirin, Stout and even Peroni which Italian beer! OMG. Food was also enough for the price! Love here!

Very conveniently located next to JR Amagasaki Station and large shopping mall. Spacious room and good service

This is not a 5 star hotel so if you are looking for that then look elsewhere. HOWEVER!!! if you are looking for a hotel outside of Umeda right near a train station that will get you to Umeda in ~10 Mins or so, this is it. If you are looking for a hotel right next to a shopping centre with restuarants on the 4th floor, this it it. if you are looking for a hotel near multiple supermarkets where you...

Clean hotel, good location. Washer dryer works and made long journey convenience. Overall great hotel.

The hotel is conveniently located across from the bus stop to the Expo site. The room was clean and the breakfast was delicious.

clean, location well, nearby station, lots of restaurant around.

The room was spacious and the hotel staff was nice

Room size is good. Vety comfortable.

Of course! Here's a polished and more considerate version of your review, while still conveying your concerns clearly: --- Our stay was okay overall, mainly because we only used the hotel to sleep. However, despite the hotel being advertised as non-smoking, the room had a strong smell of tobacco. Every time we returned, we had to open the windows for at least 30 minutes just to make it breathable...

Wonderful hotel, absolutely loved everything

Elevator was dirty somebody smoked iqos but rooms arent too bad  The aircon doesnt really work

The double room was quite a bit more expensive than the king room, but it was very spacious and clean inside, truly comfortable 👍 The front desk is on the second floor, and there's a lounge next to it. It seems like they offer free snacks in the afternoon, but we didn't get to try them. The location isn't far from Sannomiya Station, but it felt like a maze around there 😵💫 Plus, with the skybridge...

Very spacious room, able to open multiple large suitcases. Close to train station and many restaurants and shops. Staff are helpful. Carpark was always full, so had to park at a further carpark although at the same fixed rate.

Great location, close to many major attractions Spacious and clean rooms, very comfortable Friendly and helpful staff Parking is available but requires an additional fee Overall a pleasant stay, recommended 酒店地点很好，靠近许多主要旅游景点 房间宽敞又干净，住得很舒适 员工服务态度友善、专业 酒店设有停车场，但需要额外付费 整体体验良好，推荐入住

For a Japanese hotel, the room size was perfectly adequate. The surrounding area is also great for independent travelers. All in all, I was very satisfied.

Had a nice time staying for a week at this hotel. It is close to Sannomiya station with lots of restaurants nearby. It is also within walking distance to key areas such as Chinatown, Kitano etc. The room is cleaned with relatively good breakfast choices. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a hotel close to the station.

Good hotel. Close to the main station. There's plenty of space in the room

Luggage kept in lobby before check in is allowed. Staff are very friendly and helpful, the location is also very good to explore everywhere. We will stay again.

Location was ok, it was a bit further walk from the station, near a shrine and if you walk 8-10 mins there’s lots of shops. The hotel had this modern wooden cottage theme, it was clean and the room was decent size for Japan.

The location is super convenient – it's about a 5-minute walk to Sannomiya, 1 minute to Ikuta Shrine, and 10 minutes to Kitano. We were able to store our luggage both before check-in and after check-out, and they even lent us a power adapter.

Near shopping area and food. Next to the temple that I visit every morning before my journey. Good coffee at the reception area.

Near by Ikuta Jinja Shrine. Walking distance to Sannomiya Station. Nearby have nice food.

Located right near the shrine, and about a 10-minute walk from the subway station. There are plenty of places to eat nearby too! The room was quite small but reasonably clean. The front desk service was pretty good, and they could communicate in English.

I recommend it. It was Ebisu Day, so I couldn't get a taxi, but they called one for me. They have separate smoking and non-smoking rooms, and I asked for a smoking room close to the elevator, and they obliged.

The room was clean and the bed was a semi-double single room, making it a perfect family trip without any worries. Thank you very much. I would like to stay with you again when I travel.

Close to the subway, great value for money.

Satisfied with location, room and services

Great location just a few steps again from train station. There is onsen also. Spacious room.

Great location just a few steps again from train station. There is onsen also. Spacious room.

Clean and modern hotel, quite small considering it’s not in the most central area of Kobe. I imagine not super convenient for transport but I am fine since I am driving. Just for sleep over.

Hotel appears relatively new and the room (twin) was small but very clean. Only the complaint is that they charged an adult breakfast rate (not child rate) for my 6 year old child, which I never experienced in Japan.

The subway entrance nearby was closed, which made the transportation a bit inconvenient, and the room was a little small. However, the overall service was excellent, the bed was very comfortable, and it was great value for money.

Great location and affordable, offering excellent value for money. Although the room is small, it's well-equipped, clean, and tidy, perfect for a short stay.

The hotel offers a convenient location, especially for those using the metro, as it is closer to metro station than JR lines. The breakfast selection is impressive, with a wide variety of options that cater to different taste. However, one point to note is that the breakfast charge of JPY700 applies even for young children. In our case, my 6-year-old did not eat much, so the value felt limited. Overall...

The hotel room was quite small, and the facilities were a bit old. It seemed like they only cleaned every three days, and we had to put our trash cans outside the room daily. Bath towels also had to be placed in a designated spot ourselves. The laundry room had too few washing machines for the number of people using them... On the plus side, the location was excellent and convenient, and the price...

I stayed here to see the first sunrise of the year from Meriken Park! It's about a 5-minute walk north from Kobe Station, and there are plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby, so I had no trouble finding something to eat!

The hotel is within walking distance of JR Kobe Station and has excellent access. It's also convenient that there's a convenience store nearby. It was also nice that they included free breakfast. The switch between the faucet and shower was broken, so the shower wasn't usable.

Good location. Cleaning was of course excellent. Bed was comfy.

It was a great place to stay for 3 nights. Easily visible and easy to find from the JR train station Kobe north exit. Great to have washing machine and drying machine on the first floor. Great with varying Japanese breakfast which tasted good every morning. But it is ridiculous with only one small elevator for so many rooms. When we were checking out, and we were waiting for a free elevator from 9...

I always use Toyoko Inn. Breakfast is free and the room condition is good. However, the soundproofing is poor, so it is a little noisy at night.

Very good, very good, very good, excellent, very good, very good, very good, very good. 66666666666666.

Good place, near to metro station but far from JR station.

The central air conditioning, even on its strongest setting in winter, is still as weak as a gentle breeze and doesn't provide enough warmth.

Nice place, buffetbreakfast is a typical japanese breakfast and very near at train station.

It's baffling that the hotel doesn't have a kettle. The parking was advertised as available, but when I arrived, I was told I couldn't use it without a reservation, even though there were clearly two empty spots. They also didn't mention needing to call ahead. Very Japanese style.

The price for the time of the year was reasonable. The room and basic facilties were good. The subway station is 5ish minute walk away and 30 minutes away from Namba, so if you're looking for peace but not too far away from the busy places, I'd recommend this place.

The location is very convenient. Just 2 street away there is a covered shopping alley that sells all kinds of local products and eating outlets. Ramada Encore room is very clean and they provide new and fresh towels and toiletries every day. Airport limousine bus from Kansai stop at Amagasaki station which is only 5 minutes walk. I so happy that I chose Ramada Encore.

Poor parking experience. Basement parking has no instruction to reach hotel reception. The free parking arrangement is not friendly. The facilities are old fashioned, and renovation is needed. English speaking visitors may find difficulties in communicating with the front desk staff.

arrived late, so stayed here for a night before we embark our vacation proper. Carpark was easy to find, supermarket below good for some food shopping and convenience store also nearby.

I stayed at Hotel Plaza Kobe recently and had a very pleasant experience. The hotel’s location is great — easily accessible and in a quiet, convenient part of Kobe. According to guests, the location scores 8.4/10

The whole place needs a serious upgrade. Everything is old and tired. The location is good, the place is clean and the staff were polite but it felt like stepping back in time and not in a good way. They use old keys and only one key per room, carpet is tired, the toilet was slow to flush, beds were hard and the furniture needs replacing.

The room we booked wasn’t as shown in the pictures, we booked after checking the prices and pictures. But after talking to the staff, they moved us to the room that was in the pictures. The breakfast was excellent! And the views and location are great. Just be careful when checking the pictures the rooms might be different with what you choose.

Not close to the Kobe city and decoration is old. But the price is reasonable. Hotel's buffet breakfast makes me surprised, there are many food for selection and delicious. Good stay for self driving person, good.

I have a lot of trust in Toyoko. The room layout is reasonable and the hotels are widely distributed. This one is basically opposite Hanshin Station, which is convenient for getting around. The only drawback is that my room is close to the elevator, which makes it noisy. Also, the elevator was broken that day, so I had to walk up to the 12th floor.

It was comfortable and we enjoyed free breakfast.

It was close to the station, the room was easy to use, the breakfast was good, and it was more than the price. This was my first time using your service, but I will be using it again.
