ANA Crowne Plaza Kobe by IHG, Kobe1 / 30
8.5
Kobe, 1-Chome, Kitano-cho, Chuo-ku (2 km from centre) 🧭 Map
Considering the age of the hotel, it's actually quite well-maintained. The only minor issue is the bathroom is a bit small, making it hard to find space for toiletries. However, the view outside the window is absolutely fantastic; you can enjoy the panoramic scenery effortlessly morning, noon, and night.
Really best of the best, location (5 mins from shin kobe station, subways local trains to hotel, ropeway and herb gardens etc).  Best service upon check in, best food, best room.  No words to express my happiness during my stay in this hotel.
The room was clean and well maintained. The location was convenient, and the staff were very kind. I had a comfortable stay and would recommend this hotel.
Good location can just take the lift down to subway and shinkansen. Great breakfast and room slightly bigger than normal.
The hotel is conveniently located right next to Shin-Kobe subway station, just one stop away from Sannomiya, the city center. However, that one subway stop costs 210 yen, which is quite a bit more expensive than what you'd pay back home. So, if you have some time, a pleasant 10-15 minute walk is a great alternative. The cable car for the Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens is also right by the hotel, making...
The facilities are quite old, and the refrigerator hums too loudly. I had to turn it off at night to sleep. Luckily, after discussing it, I was able to store items needing refrigeration in the hotel's customer service fridge.

The Orient, Kobe1 / 30

Kobe, 25 Kyomachi (in the centre) 🧭 Map
This hotel is in a prime, bustling location in Kobe, surrounded by luxury brands downstairs, making it super convenient to get around. The room wasn't as old as I expected and was quite spacious. The 'harbor view' was pretty much non-existent though. Amenities and bedding were excellent. Interestingly, check-in is on the top floor, where all the restaurants are located too, and it gets quite busy with...
The hotel is conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from Kobe Station, and also close to the shopping street. I specifically came to check it out because Marilyn Monroe is said to have stayed here. Although the hotel is old, it's very well-maintained, which I really liked.
The rooms are a bit dated, but the overall service is great. The location is convenient, close to shopping and dining. The view from the hotel window is also fantastic. I'll definitely be back.
Great location and excellent service. The breakfast restaurant and the Teppanyaki restaurant upstairs are both delicious and highly recommended.
The “sea view” was very disappointing and honestly not what I expected at all when booking this room. What made the experience worse was the pricing issue. After my booking became non-refundable, the hotel price dropped by around 30%, which was shocking. I’ve never had this happen before. The explanation that the lower price was a different non-refundable rate doesn’t fully justify such a big drop...
Excellent stay! The service was very attentive, and the thoughtful little details in the room really made a difference.

Nice stay, i like the dinner and breakfast buffet,very nice hot spring als
The hot spring is really big, and you can enjoy both the upstairs and downstairs pools for free. There's a shuttle bus to Sannomiya Station. The room views are absolutely stunning, perfect for couples. Breakfast was just okay, but overall, it's a great stay.
The room was comfortable and bigger , and is good for family members. The view is face to harbour.
The hotel was clean, friendly staff, good food and excellent location
Good view Good dinner and breakfast Many varieties Big room
We love this hotel very much. We want to try ryokan but scare to get the old and dirty one, this is the right choice for us, room was very clean, big & modern. Staffs were friendly and tried their best to communicate in English, which we appreciate it very much. It is a resort hotel, of course it has the resort fee charge like everywhere worldwide, I don't understand why some guess complain about it

Kobe, 7-2 Hatobacho, Chuo, 650-0042 Kobe, Prefektura Hyogo, Yaponiya (in the centre) 🧭 Map
Excellent hotel! The entire property has a wonderful old-world charm. The large terrace offers a beautiful view, and they even provide essential oils for an aromatherapy diffuser, which was a lovely touch. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Kobe.
The check in process is slow, inefficient, and not customer friendly. They ask you on the very first day of your arrival about the exact time of your breakfast and room cleaning, which is unreasonable and not thoughtful. English speaking ability of the staff is also very poor.
I came here for Kobe Marathon 2025 This hotel near the finish point Near anpanman museum A big shopping mall nearby Breakfast not that good
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.
Nice location and the room is large. The staff is so friendly. If the hotel can provide buffet for breakfast it would be great
very kind, room condition is very good, good meal. the best hotel in Kobe!

Good location, nice service, The dinner and breakfast are great.
They have good onsen and walking distance to nearby shops and restaurants. But if you carry luggages, better to call hotel to pick up as it is uphill to hotel from station.
The service at this hot spring hotel is absolutely excellent! Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful time there. 4 couple open air baths that can be rented for 40min and you can also choose to have one I. Your room. Food was really good. As well.
The room was slightly different from the pictures, but it didn't affect our stay. The surroundings were truly beautiful, especially the colorful autumn mountain scenery right next to the hotel. The facilities were a bit old but still clean and hygienic. The older staff members were incredibly helpful; when we requested water delivery around 6 AM, it was brought to our room immediately. However, the...
Our stay in this hotel was great! I wish we stayed here longer than one evening. Our traditional Japanese room was very spacious and had two separate toilet rooms attached as well as a bathroom. The view from our room was amazing! And sitting area before the huge windows even had a massage chair and a vanity. The shoji doors showed some signs of wear but everything were very clean. Our kaiseki dinner...

Visited in winter, it was really good overall. The only drawback was that the tatami mat was quite cold when we first entered.
The private onsen experience was excellent. The front desk staff spoke Chinese and provided great service. The hotel also offers a shuttle bus to the bus station, which was very convenient. In the lobby, there were various drinks and ice cream available, perfect for a refreshing treat after a hot spring bath. My only minor complaint is that the outdoor onsen didn't seem as clean as the indoor one,...
Nice place to relax with my family. Nice and clean also great service.
I really like this private onsen hotel. It has both indoor and outdoor baths, featuring Arima's famous 'Golden Spring' and 'Silver Spring' waters. You can reserve them for private use, 45 minutes each time, and soak twice a day, morning and evening. I could only book the room through Ctrip, but I emailed the hotel directly to add breakfast and dinner, and the staff were all very enthusiastic and helpful...
It was absolutely awesome. We really needed this kind of rest after two busy weeks in Japan. We were so happy to relax body and soul. The room was luxurious and spacious; we chose a traditional one. This was our first hot spring experience, so it's hard to compare, but we loved it. All the hot spring rooms are strictly private, which is why we chose this ryokan. We have very large tattoos, and there...

Kobe, Yamamotodori, 3 Chome−3 3番 20号, Chuo Ward (in the centre) 🧭 Map
EV friendly as they have free charging stations (bring your charger. Tesla doesn't need it as they have one for Tesla). "The most delicious breakfast" sounds true as they serve homemade food, using local ingredients. The breakfast is well balanced and nutritional (in my opinion).
To start with the room, a fairy tale I never wanted to leave this fabulous place the establishment is of an incomparable chic, the gastronomic space of the restaurant is fabulous the dishes are of a finesse and taste to make you fall from your chair, I recommend more than nature, an incredible setting with an auxiliary establishment at the top of the mountain where I wish you to go there one day
The breakfast was delicious as expected.
The hotel is indeed a bit old, and the facilities are relatively old, but it is still well maintained and clean. The room size is OK, at least a family of three can use it normally. The bathroom is quite large, but the shower room is a bit compact. The breakfast mentioned in the comments is indeed very diverse. It is amazing at first sight, but to be honest, I can't eat it after two bites, but many...
Everything is good, but the WiFi is a little weak
The highlight is the considerate front desk service, including taking many beautiful photos for us when checking out and bowing 90 degrees to greet us. However, the so-called "best breakfast in the world" is really exaggerated. Although the table looks full, the quality is far inferior to the breakfasts of Peninsula Hotel, Six Senses, Waldorf Astoria, Park Hyatt, etc. The hotel room reminds me of the...

1stly, there seemed to be a communication break between Trip.com and Goshobessho, as our dinner instruction was not passed on. And was not informed there is a 3-days advance notice requirement to make dinner reservation. Ended up we had to make do with what's available at other restaurants in Arima. Both breakfast and dinner choices should have been listed more clearly in Trip.com.

Simply the best stay in Japan. Will go back for sure.
I won't dwell on the ambiance, as my particular room didn't have the issue of a slightly sagging mattress. However, after using the private onsen only twice and a short-haired woman washing her hair once, the bathroom drain clogged, with water pooling about 3 cm high. It almost overflowed into the cold sauna area. When I checked out and reported it, all I got was an apology. Additionally, there's a...
This place is absolutely stunning! I highly recommend it, even though it's on the pricier side. The staff were simply exceptional. They welcome you like cherished guests and bid you farewell with the same warmth. The nine-course dinner was absolutely delicious! We stayed in a private villa, complete with its own onsen. Everything was spotless, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary amenities...

Kobe, 400-1 Arimacho, rayon Kita, 651-1401 Kobe, Prefektura Hyogo, Yaponiya (13 km from centre) 🧭 Map
Beautiful view onto the river and the forest from the rooms. Nice outdoor onsen. The rooms with a private onsen also worth it. Dinner and breakfast are okay but a bit boring and not exciting.
The hotel does not has shuttle bus. You need to walk from train station to hotel. You need to walk to mid of hill. It is very inconvenient. Not recommend to book this hotel.
Comfortable and soothing ryokan in the heart of Arima Onsen town at the top of a steep hill! Kaiseki was awesome in quality and detailed in appearance! Soothing and relaxing onsen bath with Gold and Silver onsen. Service staff was attentive and helpful, especially the conceige! Free IPA and highball drinks after dinner, too! Nespresso coffee available in the morning. Try it to enjoy the relaxation...
Excellent hotel ryokan built and with interior from the late 90's/ early 00's. The hotel has great private baths (note that they are only hot water, not mineral water) and shared mineral water pools. They provide yukata and a very good overall experience. There is free wi-fi, which reaches to most places (not to the wine bath though). Couple of nit picks that I had with my stay were: -at exactly...
Arima onsen gekkoen was definitely worth visiting, you can request for the shuttle transportation to and from the main bus station. The hotel is relatively old. We chose the traditional room with tatami floors which was an experience, the toilet/bathroom seemed a bit outdated but ok overall. Yukata, sandals, socks are provided. They bring tea and set up the beds when you’re dining at the designated...

Kobe, 351-2, Arimacho, Kita Ward (13 km from centre) 🧭 Map
I was really impressed by the attention to detail at Arima Hot Spring Ryokan Hanamusubi. The team made a real effort to handle dietary requests properly, which I appreciated, and the room escort with a clear onsen explanation made everything feel easy from the start. It felt thoughtful and well organized throughout my stay.
Hotel is impressive in terms of service. They are very careful and detailed to take note and accommodate to dietary request of guests. The staff escorted us to our room and explained to us how to use the onsen.
Everything was fine until check out. Understood the drink corner close at 10AM and there were so many people inside already. As a couple was using the soda machine near the entrance, I chose to wait at the entrance patiently. But then a staff asked me to leave by simply showing a hand gesture without even talking to me properly. I was like huh? That couple was inside the corner for 10 more mins and...
Arima Hot Spring Ryokan Hanamusubi is a great onsen ryokan in Arima, one of the most famous onsen resort towns in Japan. Located on the hillside above the Arima town area, the ryokan provides free shuttle service from the train station. From the hotel, you can also walk down Yumotozaka, the historic stone-paved main street lined with unique shops and restaurants, towards the station. Walking up, with...
We booked the Japanese superior room with open air bath and was delightfully surprised that the rooms were much newer and nicer in person compared to the photos. Staff were extremely kind and accommodating. In my honest opinion, I think the dinner/breakfast were just okay, but the other amenities more than made up for it. We arrived at the bus stop, made out way to the information center, who called...
It was written on the website that it was an open-air bath with a view of the mountains and the Arima cityscape, but the fence of the open-air bath was too high to see outside. It is a little cheaper than other hot springs, so I asked for it, but the amenities were great. There are two kinds of hot water, it is not small and there is plenty of parking, so it is easy to access.
