I was assigned a random room in the South Wing, which was very spacious and had a balcony, decorated in a French style with yellow and blue accents. The hotel has a very old-money feel with many artistic ornaments and paintings to admire. The shuttle bus was punctual and very convenient and pleasant.
I booked this hotel mainly for the view, and it definitely delivered. The west-facing room looks directly out onto the Ferris wheel, making it feel like a living painting from the window. The small balcony was perfect for fresh air and enjoying the scenery.
The hotel is located within Meriken Park, offering a quiet escape while still being in the heart of Kobe. There's a free shuttle bus service to and from Sannomiya Station, and you can explore the park right outside the hotel. For shopping at Daimaru and other areas, it's about a 1 to 1.5 km walk through the park, or you can take the free shuttle bus for flexible travel.
As a long-standing landmark, the hotel has been around for years. While it has undergone renovations, the lobby and interior still retain a sense of history and age. The basic services and facilities are all fine, but nothing particularly stands out.
Considering its location and view, the weekday prices offer good value for money. However, weekend prices are a bit high, so staying during off-peak times would be more economical.

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 translate throughout the whole process. Very nice and took care of us.
Very suitable for children~ You can go to the official website to check it out. The various children's facilities are amazing! ! ! The children had a lot of fun.
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 should be the cheapest hotel among Tadao Ando's architectural works. It focuses on the best value for money. The kitchen in the loft room is quite easy to use, with all the pots and pans available. The massage bathtub in the bathroom upstairs is also very good. Yes, the only regret is that you can't see the sea from the room. You can't see the sea even if you have stayed in a Western-style single room before. You can only walk outside to enjoy it. It's a bit of a pity. The breakfast provided by the hotel is quite delicious. I ate all the rice in a pot.
A wonderful stay at Hotel Okura Kobe. The room was large and very clean, with three comfortable beds that made it ideal for families. The natural light and view added to the relaxing atmosphere. Staff were friendly, attentive and made everything smooth from check in to check out. A truly comfortable and enjoyable stay in Kobe.
I used it for my first trip.
There are places to play nearby, and there is also a hot spring, so I am very satisfied.
The reason I lowered my rating the most is because I couldn't enjoy it due to renovations and inadequate facilities.
There were quite a few issues like that, so I wondered if that was reflected in the price plan, so I only lowered the rating as minimally as possible.
But overall I am satisfied.

It was the first time I stayed at Shimahana, but I was impressed by the good service of the New Awaji Group.
I was able to fish at Yumesen Kei and caught two cherry blossoms, but they cooked and served for dinner at night and it was very delicious. The rest was processed cleanly and I was able to take it home. Shimahana is located a little far from the opposite bank, but I enjoyed it without any problems because I could pick up and drop off the hot water.
I want to go to Hokans again

The hotel is very large, so it has many facilities and is well maintained. The service here is relatively friendly. Even though most of the waiters don't speak English, you can still feel their enthusiasm. The biggest advantage here is the unparalleled sea view, you can see the sunrise without leaving the room.
It was my first time to experience a hot spring hotel. Overall it was very comfortable. Although it is not a new modern hotel, it was a good feeling to experience Japanese culture. There were more Japanese people staying this time. Although we were tourists, the staff entertained us very warmly. Dinner and breakfast were very rich. Although the road is a bit far from the city center, it is still worthwhile to experience this hotel. The room is very large and the scenery is great. It's so spectacular. There are small bugs in the natural environment. It is recommended not to open the windows. Everything else is impeccable. The hotel's care products are also very complete and facial masks are provided. Overall, it is highly recommended.
Very Good

Wonderful stay. Ideal and central location in Kinosakionsen. Great and authentic food, wonderful staff, and rooms large enough to accommodate us and our luggage. Highly recommend the Ryokan
A perfect site to eat, drink, play golf and shop in Kobe. It’s close to everything and the views of the Kobe Port are just magnificent. Most important, the hotel is well managed, the rooms are spacious and the breakfast is so richly prepared that you wouldn’t be bored even staying there for one week! Will go back.
This hotel is next to the ropeway to herb garden. There is a supermarket , train station and ¥100 shop within the same building. There is a 7-11 just outside (level 1). Parking is available at 8th floor for hotel guest chargeable at ¥1500 per night. Breakfast is fantastic - their curry , omelette and smoothie are their specialty. Highly recommend to stay at this hotel .
A Beautiful hotel with beautiful sea view. The whole building is such an art piece. The staff is nice and the room is fine. The location is a bit difficult to reach if not driving. But the view and the beautiful design by Andou Tadao is worth to come at least once.
Hands down best stay so far during my 15 days in Japan and the service is really immaculate. I've been to Japan on several solo trips and this is easily one of the most memorable hotels. The staff are really nice and the hotel room view is incredible. The room they upgraded me to speaks for itself, beautiful bathroom and really good amenities. Although the hotel is situated off the mainland, there is a portliner rail service and also a complementary shuttle service to two of the main stations in Kobe city area. Really value for money.
We had a wonderful stay at Kobe Meriken Park Oriental Hotel. The harbor view from our room was beautiful, especially in the morning, and the high-floor arrangement made it even better. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Staff were professional and attentive, and they kindly prepared baby amenities such as a crib and bathtub, which was greatly appreciated. Breakfast was enjoyable with a good variety and a relaxed atmosphere. The location is excellent for walking around the harbor area and enjoying Kobe’s scenery. Overall, a very pleasant and reliable hotel experience that we would gladly recommend.
The hotel is located in a quiet and safe area. The breakfast selection is good and I liked the good coffee and it was a bonus as they provided paper cup so you can consume your coffee in the comfort of your room. Will recommend friends to stay in this nice and clean hotel.
