Arima Onsen Tocen Goshobo Hotels in Kobe

"The room was quite spacious, and the massage chair was a pleasant surprise – very comfortable to use. The room introduction was quite detailed, and it was my first time experiencing a traditional Japanese onsen ryokan. The tatami mats were interesting, and I slept well. The entire hotel felt like a museum; despite its age, it had a lot of character. I felt like I got a deeper understanding of Japanese culture, which I really appreciated. The service, apart from being led to our room with traditional Japanese bows and the room introduction, was mostly self-service. However, this was my first time staying at a 'one night, two meals' ryokan, so I'm not sure if all onsens are like this. We also didn't have large luggage, just our bags, so maybe that's why we didn't notice any issues with luggage service. On a positive note, the front desk immediately knew which pair of shoes were ours when we checked out, which was good service. On the downside, the room's air conditioning unit was so well hidden that it took ages to find, and I was cold for quite a while. The phone either didn't work or I couldn't figure out how to use it. Also, we booked the private onsen from 8 PM to 9:30 PM. After relaxing for a bit, it was already close to 11 or 12. The public onsen closed from 12 AM to 1 AM, so we couldn't use it. We needed about 8 or 9 hours of sleep, and breakfast was scheduled for 9 AM. After breakfast, from 9:30 AM to 11 AM, the public onsen was closed. When we asked, the front desk informed us that check-out was strictly at 11 AM and we couldn't use the public onsen after checking out. So, we missed out on the public onsen, which was a real shame and couldn't be negotiated. In any five-star hotel in any country I've traveled to, it's usually possible to discuss using facilities after check-out. But it seems traditional onsen ryokans are all this rigid. While that might be how Japanese people are, for a hotel of this price, and for clearly inexperienced foreigners (we were even reminded we wore our kimonos the wrong way), when asking about meal times, couldn't they have kindly informed us that we needed to plan our breakfast, dinner, and onsen times accordingly? The food was light and flavorful. I don't eat seafood, and they were able to adjust the meals to my preferences. Communication two months prior was very responsive. However, for us, it was a bit too plain; Japanese people would probably love it. This was my first trip with my husband after giving birth, and I had been looking forward to the onsen part for a long time. I was very happy on the check-in day, but not being able to use the public onsen on the second day was still a big regret."

"Stunning views, almost all rooms face west towards the bridge and sunset. Excellent location, the beach is right in front, but you have to cross under tracks and highway, 5-6 min walk after you exit the escalator. Beds in adjoining rooms are large, we could easily fit a family of 6 in 2 rooms, and you even add extra beds if needed."

"My husband and I came to the hotel for one night. The location is very scenic, close to the bus terminal where we arrived. We were greeted very warmly. There were no communication issues — the young women who helped us check in spoke English well and had a great sense of humor. They showed us everything and took us to our rooms. I especially want to mention that while we were waiting to check in, a wonderful woman in a kimono brought us hot towels, bowls of tea, and small sweets. After our journey, it was a very pleasant touch. Our room was fantastic. We chose it for the stunning view of the mountains. We slept soundly in the beds. The public baths were wonderfully relaxing — this was our first experience with onsens. I also booked a massage. A young woman came to my room, and the massage was done with clothes on — it was the best decision of that evening. I didn't want it to end. For dinner, there was a whole ceremony. There was an enormous amount of food. We couldn't finish it all. Some things were delicious, others were new to us and a bit unfamiliar. But it all added to our experience and enriched us. Thank you for the hospitality. A wonderful place!"

"Very happy with the stay not sure how it's only 3 stats very good value for money I stayed here for a break from the hostels and capsule hotels and I loved it . Allowed me to drop bag off before I checked inn room lovely shower could be a touch better rather than one that's over a bath but still gets the job done . And the location is brilliant very close to local train stations and subways would recommend . Plus the Japanese breakfast was lovely a first for me"

"1. **Room Cleanliness**: The room was spotlessly clean. The sheets and towels had a fresh scent, which made me feel very comfortable and at ease. The furnishings were also tastefully appointed, creating a warm yet modern feel. 2. **Convenient Location**: The B&B is in a prime location, surrounded by a wealth of amenities. A bus runs right downstairs, running every four minutes and taking us to Sannomiya in 12 minutes. This makes it very convenient for shopping and exploring local specialties. It's incredibly convenient for those of us who love to explore the city. 3. **Host Friendly and Warm**: The hosts were absolutely amazing! Not only did they provide detailed directions before our arrival, but throughout our stay, they were always patient and helpful, answering questions about itineraries and daily life. It was a truly heartwarming experience. 4. **Comprehensive Services**: The hosts provided a comprehensive range of services, from free Wi-Fi to amenities, every detail was thoughtful. They also provided us with local tourist brochures, which helped us plan our trip. Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it to other travelers. Whether you're on a business trip or a leisure trip, this is an ideal choice. Thank you for the host's hospitality and look forward to coming again next time!"

Kobe Meriken Park Oriental Hotel ★★★★★
"The room was quite spacious, I could easily open my 30-inch suitcase without any issues, and the price was reasonable. This time, I chose an east-facing room because it happened to be a weekend and there were fireworks at Kobe Port. Although brief, it was lovely to watch them from the balcony. For transportation, it's definitely not as convenient as staying directly in Sannomiya, but you can take the hotel shuttle bus to and from Sannomiya, which runs every 20 minutes. Breakfast was pretty good; the freshly grilled burgers were delicious, and they had fresh orange juice, as well as matcha and milk-flavored ice cream."

Kobe Plaza Hotel West ★★★
"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 your head and have big gaps allowing large amounts of light to come through in the morning. The toilet was also quite small with limited hanging space."

Remm Plus Kobe Sannomiya ★★★★
"The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic, right above Sannomiya Station! Most of the places I wanted to visit were within a 10-minute walk. Best of all, the most bustling area of Kobe is right downstairs, making it incredibly convenient for both shopping and dining. Even if you get hungry in the middle of the night, there's ramen available! The hotel's soundproofing is excellent; despite the lively area downstairs, I couldn't hear any outside noise in my room. This is definitely the place to stay!"

"The Oriental Hotel Kobe is a true gem in the heart of the city. The room was beautifully designed with a perfect blend of modern comfort and classic elegance. The view of the harbor was breathtaking, and the staff’s hospitality was beyond exceptional. Every detail—from the lobby scent to the breakfast presentation—was refined and thoughtful. It’s one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at in Japan."

Hotel Villa Fontaine Kobe Sannomiya ★★★
"The room is bigger than most of business hotels in Japan, and well equipped with everything you need for a short trip. It is a few minutes walk from Sannomiya station, but you may need to check the map a few times because it is not very visible from the main street. What I like the most about this hotel is the free coffee and tea bags they offer at the lobby floor. If you like flavored tea you will want to try everything when you are staying there."
