3 star hotels in Kobe

This was my second time staying here, and I loved it! I even got to enjoy a bubble bath, which was a real treat. It's so affordable, even on weekends, so I'll definitely be returning!

The bed creaked terribly, but otherwise, I had no complaints.

The value for money was good. Unfortunately, only smoking rooms were available, and the strong lingering smell of cigarette smoke was quite bothersome.

It is a comfortable stay near to Mikage station.

Overall, it's good. It's just a bit old. The hygiene is average. But the room is quite big. The price-performance ratio is quite high. There are big windows and the sun is very bright. It's much better than a commercial hotel. But it's a bit old. I should choose an old hotel next time if I go on a business trip nearby. Will stay there again

Equipment, customer service, rental items It was very good.

It was a little dimly lit, which was a minor concern, but it was very clean and that was great!

The room wasn't huge, but it was perfectly adequate. More importantly, it was immaculately clean, and the service was excellent and very attentive. The staff at this Italian hotel spoke good English, which was a huge plus. Overall, I was very satisfied. Also, its location in a bustling area made getting around incredibly convenient.

Overall, it was a decent stay, likely an established hotel. The air conditioning unit was quite loud; we had to turn it off to get some quiet. Otherwise, the surroundings were relatively peaceful, and the area was good for exploring. A major inconvenience was that the hotel is located on the second floor. Checking in required us to carry our luggage up numerous steps, which definitely needs improving...

The hotel is located in the CBD, very strategic location to access to everywhere. 5mins walk to the Chinatown, 10mins walk to train station, 15mins walk to Meriken park. The hotel seems a bit old but very well maintained, clean and comfortable. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. We love the stay very much and super valuable for its price!

The hotel is OK and is close to Guoren Street. It is good to shop around. There are good stores.

It's close to Sannomiya Station and the front desk is open 24 hours, so it was okay to come back after walking around late at night~! However, I had to go up the stairs to the front desk, so it was a bit difficult to carry my suitcase up there. Other than that, it was nice and the cleaning was very clean👍

My room was immaculate. The bed was comfortable. The service was excellent. Even though my room was beside the elevator, it was perfectly quiet. The location was great, just a five-minute walk to Sannomiya Station,

It was so cold. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're a traveler who has a hard time finding a place to stay or is on a tight budget due to a sudden visit to Osaka.

Close to Sannomiya Station. Restaurants, supermarkets, convenience stores, everything. Very conveniently located hotel. A little dark, which makes the hotel look bad. If the lights were a little brighter,

The hotel is located about 400 meters from Sannomiya JR station. Chinatown is 1.5 kilometers and the Kobe port tower about 2.5 kilometers. The service was exceptionally good, courteous and helpful. The front desk saw me bringing some Ramen noodles and gave me a teapot. The room was comfortable and large enough.

Lovely hotel 🏨 ♥️♥️♥️supper clean & neat

love the location. the receptionist always tried to help. the room is expectedly small.... but still clean

This was my favorite hotel during my trip to Japan. The elegant and pleasant environment, the golden hot springs, and the kaiseki cuisine were all unforgettable. The attention to detail in the service made me feel completely relaxed and happy. It was a truly memorable time, and I will definitely choose this onsen hotel again if I have the chance.

absolutely beautiful～ Nice service Quite and comfortable

Cleanliness: The room had bugs; I killed 3 on the first night. Service: The service was very thoughtful. They helped carry luggage into the room and even set up the tatami. At check-out, they proactively helped take luggage to the front desk. Facilities: It's a very old wooden house. You can't make loud noises at night, as it genuinely disturbs others. Environment: It's very close to Arima Onsen Station...

This was our first experience, our first time at an onsen and ryokan. The hot springs were superb. The room was Japanese-style. Dinner and breakfast were also new to us.

Had such an amazing experience at this ryokan! Everything was wonderful - the room, the service, the onsen and the dinner. Highly recommend! There was a brief misunderstanding at check-in, but resolved in no time. The staff is amazing!

The hotel staff provided incredibly attentive and thoughtful service, and the rooms were well-appointed and very comfortable. The Japanese aesthetic was beautifully reflected throughout the architecture, rooms, dining, and service, making for a truly fantastic experience. Its location is also superb, being very close to both bus and subway stations, which makes shopping incredibly convenient.

Stayed here again. It's conveniently located and clean. However, the breakfast and dinner package isn't as elaborate as it used to be.

Great location, right on a shopping street. The dinner was especially good and very filling.

Nice Services. A staff can speak fluent Cantonese! Well done dinning for both breakfast and dinner served with Kobe beef!

Chinese-speaking staff at check-in and during meals were a definite plus. This hotel offers great value for money, with spacious榻榻米 rooms. The rooftop onsen, featuring both gold and silver baths, was a fantastic experience. The price included both breakfast and dinner, and the meals were very traditional Japanese; some dishes were delicious, while others weren't quite to my taste.

The onsen is smaller but the effect I guess is better . Also they provide all the amenties generously like shampoo shower gel hair treatment facial milk etc .

Location is very near train station. Dinner and breakfast are good, especially Dinner food are more than enough. Onsen are good.

We had a wonderful stay here. The Osen, facilities , services were good however the room setup lighting would need some upgrade for better ambience & mood on such a nice setting & locations as it does not have cove effect, dimming or warm light.

One of my favorite hotels during my trip to Japan

The hotel service is very good, free pick-up and drop-off, free bus ticket booking, average food, small pool

Really good! Very unique, I like the hot spring hotel very much, the scenery outside the window is pleasant and beautiful! If you like a leisurely and quiet place, you can choose this place👍

The price/performance ratio is extremely low. The hotel facilities are the lowest among all the places I have visited in Japan. I highly do not recommend it. 5000+ for three people a night, the shuttle bus will not come to pick you up until after 3 o'clock. I see that other hotels in the hot spring area have on-demand shuttle services. It's a very ordinary, old tatami room. The area is not very large...

It was worth the trip~~!!! Although it is on the mountain, there is a car to take you to the town at the foot of the mountain. You can make an appointment for a private bath every hour, but there is actually no one in the public bath~ Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all very rich and impeccable~ You can also experience Yukata and tatami. There is a service staff who works in Taiwan and helped us...

Always nice and big room size.

The hotel is so very cozy and our room is so big and look so luxury i love it! the onsen is so great my husband and i really refreshed and relax the onsen but its too far from our room and i really love the gelato icecream its so really good! but over all the hotel is so nice looking for to come back and stay again thank you!

Thus is a love hotel For privacy, this hotel was built on top of a hill. You must drive! There is no public transport It takes at least 30 minutes from Shintetsu Rokko Station to walk up the hill. They only provide breakfast. Luckily they served me an all day breakfast upon my arrival cause I arrived in the evening ! The room is very good! Clean , comfortable, fridge ,big tv screen , lightings ...

Hotel amenities quite good. Not near to city but if going to rokkosan, is quite convenient

This was a good place but the location was on the mountain which was a little far from restaurants. Definitely not a place to take your children, there was a massager on the table. But a nice hotel with friendly staff.

A love hotel close to the Mt Rokko Observatory Deck for night view. The roads around the hotel are hard to navigate. If the price is right, it's a good choice with free parking.

The private onsen was super convenient, and the room itself was very spacious. There was even a charming little garden right outside the door, perfect for photos! Breakfast was a set menu and quite substantial.

The staff were incredibly friendly. I accidentally left something behind, and they kindly responded to my inquiries and even sent it back to me by mail, which I really appreciated.

Not a bad ryokan. The rooms are large and cozy, with comfortable beds and pillows. Inside the ryokan, there are two small private onsens. They're a bit worn out. You can also access the public onsen for free, which we actually preferred. We skipped the kaiseki dinner and just had breakfast. It was a pretty tasty and filling traditional breakfast.

An excellent, authentic ryokan. Friendly staff. Interesting kaiseki breakfasts and dinners. There are two private hot springs in the ocean—access to both is included in the room rate. You can also use the onsen at the nearby partner ryokan. The village of Arima Onsen itself is beautiful! Be sure to visit the park and ride the cable car up Mount Rokko.

This is a quaint traditional hot spring hotel. Because it is not very large, it only has 2 indoor hot springs (but you can use the outdoor hot spring in the main building), and the indoor hot spring is relatively small. As for the food, the portions are not too big and the ingredients are not very high-end, but the taste is good. As for the service attitude, except for the female waiter I met when...

The hotel service attitude is very good, the hotel location is good, the staff is very friendly and will inform you that you can take a free hot spring bath in Taoquan Goshofang. The breakfast and dinner are also very delicious

This hotel, nestled halfway up the mountain, offers a traditional Japanese ryokan experience with tatami mats, which was a wonderful experience. During the day, the empty bedroom has a table, and in the evening, the staff will help clear it away and set up the futons. After our hot spring bath, we could just lie down and relax. When there are fewer guests, it feels like you have the whole place to...

Helpful staff and good location, room and amenities are a bit old though.

Great experience and excellent services. The room was great and the food was yummy.

The hotel boasts an excellent location near the station, making it highly convenient. The service is attentive and thoughtful, while the dining options are outstanding. Rooms are clean and well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable stay. Highly recommended for travelers seeking quality and convenience.

The hot spring is very good. I came here with my family this time and felt like I was at home. The service was friendly and excellent.

The service of the staff is superb and way beyond expectation.  I noticed that the yugata for my wife is men’s size and my slipper is women’s size. I hope they can be more prepared on the suitable sizes to be available for guest. The only thing I don't really like is the toilet room inside the Japanese style room. The wall paper has lots of stain spot, smelly and it is not quite comfortable to stay...

The room was generally clean. It was a shame that there were burn marks on the tatami mats, even though it was supposed to be a non-smoking room (probably the fault of the smokers), but there was no smell, so it was fine. I wanted to sleep well, but the window only had a shoji screen, so it was too bright and I had to wake up. Also, I could hear quite a bit of noise from the next room, which was bothersome

The hotel staff was very kind and helpful. The suite was spacious

Love the location very close to the center and public transport. Onsen is very clean .. definitely book a room with the onsen in the room, solo traveler can reserved a private time on schedule. The hostess is very helpful and speak English .. at night the security lock the front door please take note of the number to help you get in . Have a nice stay 😉

Great little hotel with very friendly staff. Excellent value with free natural Spa (hot water with healing powers emerging from the ground) and an excellent Japanese breakfast (see picture). A few minutes' walk from the bullet train station. Highly recommended.

I wish the price was a little cheaper since it was just a room without meals. Other than that I am satisfied.

I live in Osaka and go to family trip in kobe and reserve hotel Isago and hotel Isago facilities and accommodation is very good and next time also come to visiting time I will stay in hotel Isago kobe

Great place and experience if you wanna try a ryokan. Eating kaiseki and sleeping on a futon. Also it was pretty big room with a nice view loggia. For the onsens, I did like the left opened one of a gin water. Although they are switched for male and female thrice a day. It is not necessary to leave it during the day, but if you want to have a stroll, there is Rokko mountain near around.

Nice traditional ryokan with hospitable staff in a convenient location close to Arima onsen. Everything’s was great, however if you’re sensitive to sound and are staying on the ground floor, you will hear noise from the room upstairs.

We wanted authentic experience in traditional japanese hotel and this place was a perfect match. It is located within walking distance from center of the village and it was really calm and quiet. Staff was super friendly and eager to make our stay comfortable. Hotel also provides yukatas. The dinner is a must-have in this place, and was one of the highlights of our trip. Be prepared for a real...

It was our first ryokan experience and it was absolutely stunning. There are a few rooms in ryokan and we were the only guests for that night. The room was very spacious and had tiny cute details. Onsen and kaiseki dinner became absolute favorites. The dinner and breakfast were served in our room that added intimacy to the process. Everything was delicious. The ryokan team was super friendly and ready...

Very nice little place not far from the village centre, quiet and comfortable. We loved the experience of the traditional meals and sleeping on the tatami (best sleep ever!). The hot baths were really hot but very enjoyable, especially since we were lucky to have them all to ourselves.

True hot spring experience! Authentic Japanese food and exact ryokan

Environment: Arima Onsen has a nice environment. Since it's primarily a carbonated spring, there's no rotten egg smell like sulfur. The town is easy to explore and well-developed commercially. Cleanliness: Although we booked a traditional Japanese onsen ryokan (traditional Japanese inn), we requested a twin room. The room was quite large, very clean and tidy, and we didn't have to worry about not...

Second time staying here. Although the location is far, there is a special car to pick you up after arriving in Arima area. The price is reasonable. One night and two meals are provided. The portions are sufficient and very delicious. The place is clean and quiet. It is a good choice.

Stayed in a private bath room, but the room was very small, the bath was like a bathtub, and it looked different from what I thought when I booked the room. I thought it had hot spring bath, but it turned out to be a public bath. The food was delicious, and the environment was quiet, but it was not possible to check in ten minutes earlier. It was inconvenient to have to go to a second place for dinner

The hotel room has a built-in hot spring, which is well equipped and convenient. To use the large hot springs and baths, you have to walk a few minutes to the sister store, which is a bit inconvenient and cold. The food is good, although there is not much beef, but everything else is good. Better than cost-effectiveness

Arima Onsen is very quiet like this family-style hotel. There are private hot springs across the street and public breakfast and dinner, which are very rich! The choice this time was really correct. The whole family had a great time.

Not a bad experience. The hotel provides free round-trip transfer service, but you can only contact the hotel from 1430 on the day of arrival. Dinner is kaiseki cuisine, mainly fish dishes, and you need to walk to the sister hotel nearby (1-2 minutes away) to enjoy it. Breakfast is a set meal and you need to stay in the hotel to eat. The open-air hot spring included in the room is very good and the...

The welcome drink cake set can be enjoyed as afternoon tea.

I like Königskrone sweets, and when I found out there was a hotel there, I stayed there for one night on business. It's a short walk from Sannomiya Station through a shopping street, but there are many different shops lined up, and personally, I was happy to find a Korean food store nearby. There was also a bakery that looked delicious, although I didn't go there. Although I checked in late at night...

The rooms were spacious and it was interesting how they were themed. I loved the scent of the hand soap. The breakfast didn’t disappoint at all. The service was wonderful - staff members gave their best to speak in English, even if I was fluent in their language, and I’m truly appreciative of their effort.

A hotel I've always wanted to stay at! There were Kuma Pochi-kun stuffed animals everywhere in the hotel, which really got me excited. All the staff members were very courteous. Some things I noticed were: -The building as a whole seemed to be showing its age.・I don't have many rice-based items for breakfast. (I guess it can't be helped since bread and sweets are the main items.) I was a little surprised...

Failed to make a reservation but it looks nice

It's was tasty. It's a poplar spot, but relaxing for some cake and coffee with friends.

The location of this place is so convenient. It is within walking distance to everything! It is literally 2 minutes walk to Kin no Yu, around 2 corners. It is also a 10-ish minutes walk to Gin No Yu. The location is about 5 minutes walk to the bus terminal. The Arima onsen train station is a little bit further, but within 10 minutes walk. Arima onsen is a little town and everything is within walking...

The room and the service from the staff were excellent. I was able to relax completely and find true peace even amidst the overtourism. The 12:00 PM checkout time allows for a more relaxed itinerary.

The appartement we booked belongs to a nearby hotel Tocen. The reception and suitcase service is excellent! Staff makes every effort to make the stay as best as possible. Initially our booking was cancelled for some unknown reason, but staff stored our luggage and asked to come back later while would trigger what happened. the appartement is big, well equipped and from the hotel they offer all kind...

The location of the B&B is excellent, just next to the Hankyu Bus Terminal. The room is large and clean. Although the B&B is in a different building than the check-in counter, they are very close. They will help deliver the luggage to the room first. Recommended👍👍👍👍

Need to find another hotel to pick up keys. . . trouble. Everything else is very good

The Japanese-style rooms for two are located on the second and third floors of the building called Yamatogokoro. Check-in is at the Goshobo Inn. Although it's a building from the Taisho era, it has modern locks, newly replaced tatami mats, and a stylish bathroom. Quite high-tech! However, there's only a shower booth, so be sure to soak in the nearby Kin-no-yu hot spring. Also, although it's a bit pricey...

The hotel was very clean and well-equipped, with a fridge and microwave, which was great.

It would have been nice if tea or coffee was provided.

The smell of the baldness concealing powder at the front desk was strong.

Unusually for a hotel, there were no tea leaves and we were told to buy tea from a vending machine. On the plus side, since we were only staying overnight, there was a microwave which was a relief. The room was well cleaned, but the bottom of the bathroom curtain was stained with black mold and was disgusting. There was a crack at the bottom of the sink area and it had been sealed with duct tape.

Although small, it's perfectly adequate. It's surprisingly quiet and incredibly convenient, just a 5-minute walk from the station.

Convenient location and very good staff, they were very helpful and understanding

Nice place near with public transportation

Spacious hotel room, we had the twinbed option. It's lazy but effectively renovated, so the bathroom is nice and the air condition, just the carpet still reminds you of the old days.

Having not visited Kobe before I assumed that Kobe station would be the place to stay to access the sights, I now know that I should have stayed near Sannomiya station for this. The area around Kobe station is much quieter but has very easy access to Harbour Land, the station is easy to get to and the hotel only 1 street from the station. The hotel itself is quite dated but still functional, the staff...

It's a nice little room.........Stinky like Cigarettes Haha

It's a bit like a budget hotel in Kobe. The single room have everything but really small. And the other are very good, if come here again and I'll choose it definitely. 🤗👍

Very nice reception. Small and smoky room, slightly outdated but clean and kept well. Good pillows and there is a fridge and bath amenities.

Just a two-minute walk from the Shinchi station exit, turning right. Super convenient! There's a supermarket diagonally across the street, which is cheaper than convenience stores for groceries. It's also easy to get to Sannomiya and Meriken Park from here.

The hygiene was generally poor; the toilet's bidet function was broken and unusable; and the slippers were torn and couldn't be worn.

it was good, only that it was quite noisy outside on the streets

Very good hotel in pretty good location, walking distance from the train and metro station. Easy access to many tourist attractions. Highly recommended if you're not looking for spacious rooms and luxury.

Beautiful, large bedroom with a stunning and clean bathroom. Was perfect for us

I decided to stay near kobe airport. This hotel is relative close to the airport. We can also see Kobe Tower from the hotel.

Lovely traditional style inn, with onsen.

We really loved our stay. The host was great, everything was clean and cozy. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay very much.

The owner was very welcoming! The balcony view was great, it had a real Japanese town vibe from the era of sake breweries! ❤️❤️❤️

Pros: Clean, although everything is ancient, located next to the bus station. The blankets are warm. Cons: The onsen is terrible!!!!! Everything is moldy, the basement stinks, slime. We couldn't even go inside. We went to a neighboring hotel, everything was clean and nice there. Cold! My back fell off the futons, my neck fell off the pillows.

A very cool, authentic ryokan. Great location. Large rooms with private bathrooms. All rooms are clean and have everything you need. You can sit on the balcony and breathe in the fresh air. The ryokan has its own mineral springs, so you can relax without leaving the room. The breakfast was delicious. This was my first time at a hotel like this, and I loved everything. The owners are very nice. Tattoos...

A traditional Japanese-style hotel, conveniently located on a tourist street in Arima. Unfortunately, the onsen is unsightly, with mold everywhere. There's no shower in the room.

excellent onsen hotel! despite its difficult location, they provide shuttle service probably from anywhere around arima station (but you gotta have a JP phone number and you speak japanese). the hotel is beautiful. combined modern and traditional wooden japanese style. once checked in, they serve welcome drink and snacks at the lounge and immediately we felt ourselves in another world. very relaxing...

Pleasant stay. French style dining was impressive.

The hotel waiters are very nice! But the location is a bit bad and the room does not have a shower room! The meal was extremely delicious! Driving is okay!

During the trip to Kansai, I experienced the legendary Arima Onsen. I chose the Japanese-style room package of Zicui with one night and two meals. I can only say that my expectations were too high, which led to a gap in the experience. The cost was close to 1,500 per person per night. The room was nice and new, but there was no shower room, which was a bit inconvenient. The bath area was on the underground...

The environment is very good, very comfortable, and the service is good. The only thing is that it is not close to a convenience store. If you want to buy snacks, you have to buy them in advance before checking in.

Although the facilities are old, they are clean and tidy. The hotel environment is very elegant, one night stay and two meals, the food is very rich and tastes great. The hotel staff is enthusiastic and has a good sense of service.

Great value for a dated capsule experience. Good sento, alarm don’t work

This is suitable for men who are traveling alone. If you are traveling to Kobe for the first time, you can consider it. Only men stay here, and most of them are Japanese locals.

It's very good for a simple night, clean and sanitary, with a large bath

Location is around 10min walking distance from Sannomiya station. Public bath and sauna room is quite old. Overall is ok

Not bad, the capsule room is more private. Facilities: You can take a shower on the 2nd floor, there is no water outage time, you can eat and make phone calls on the 5th floor, the 34th floor is a capsule room, there are three sockets inside, but two are very close, so you can use two at the same time Environment: There are many convenience stores around, it is very close to JR Sannomiya Station, and...

A nice and clean budget stay. Nice staff service. Happy to find a nice and clean microwave oven when I just needed one. All guests are civilized in all aspects. No noise at all at night although many clients sharing a same room. In summary, a nice and comfortable one-night short stay for me.
