Smile Hotel Kobe Motomachi Reviews

Very central hotel near Motomachi station - right in the vibrant Chinatown area. Good budget accommodation with simple but tasty breakfast. Staff were very helpful. Rooms were more spacious than others we paid more for. Recommend.

The hotel is below average of Japanese hotels. The hotel is quite dirty in Japan standard. Got some smell in the room. Good location.

Really well placed hotel with a good price

Nice hotel

The staff was very friendly. The room was adequate for a one-night stay. Breakfast was Western-style. You can add two slices of bread, so it's not too much, but if you prefer rice, it might not be enough. I wish the air conditioner and bath were a little cleaner.

The hotel is in a great location, close to Chinatown and only a few hundred meters from Motomachi Station, making it very convenient for travel. The hotel facilities are a bit old, but the hotel management is still very standardized

Not the best hotel, but it's quite good for a night's stay

The location was good, just a short walk from Motomachi Station. Chinatown was also very close. I was glad to be able to stay for 10,000 yen per night even during Golden Week. However, I was concerned about the mold and smell in the corners of the bathroom. If you stay multiple nights, there will be no cleaning, but they will replace the towels. Other than that, I am generally satisfied.

It's in a great location, close to Motomachi Station. You can also walk there from Sannomiya Station in about 10 minutes. There's also Nankinmachi nearby, and you can walk to the port in about 10 minutes, so it's very convenient.

It was easy to get to and I had a comfortable stay. The breakfast was a bit disappointing.

It was great to be able to smoke. The room was small and there was no cleaning, so the ashtray was in a mess.

Although it is an older hotel, it is fine for short-term business use. The breakfast service is also appreciated, and the staff are polite and pleasant.

It was cheaper than the surrounding accommodations, which was nice. It was close to the downtown area and the station, so it had good access. I'll use it again if I have the opportunity.

The front desk staff is very friendly. The lobby is also a cafeteria. There are many comics on the bookshelf on the side aisle for guests to borrow. It feels very humane. The store itself is on the side of the Motomachi shopping street, with convenient food and accommodation, and not far from the station. Highly recommended.
