Best Kobe Hotels

"Huge hotel with great facilities, but gym, sauna, onsen and pool have to be paid extra and at high prices. That left a very bitter aftertaste. The room was large but a bit dated and could be cleaned better. The service at the reception could be nicer and speak better English. However, the rest of the service staff were extremely nice and helpful. Early check-in was possible free of charge. The hotel is very close to Kobe airport, but only offers a shuttle service for the train stations. Why not also for the airport is somewhat questionable."

"The hotel is ideally situated between Sannomiya and Motomachi Stations, making both easily accessible on foot. It's right on a shopping street and surrounded by many convenience stores, making the location superb. While the room was a bit small overall, the bathroom was quite spacious, and the wet/dry separation was a huge plus. The rooms are well-appointed and felt very clean. The lobby offers self-service amenities like skincare products and tea bags. There's also a self-service laundry room on the 10th floor where you can wash a good amount of clothes for just 600 JPY – perfect for families on vacation. The staff are fluent in English and highly professional. Both check-in and check-out are self-service, which is very convenient. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Kobe."

"Just a few mins away from both Sannomiya station and Motomachi area. Equipped with a public bath facility and the coin laundry. (There was a queue after 9pm. Go for it earlier!) Staff were attentive and helpful. Only drawback- the view of my room was like completely blocked by other buildings, and we were not able to get enough natural lights. It was even darker than the average at night."

"Traveling with my family, we picked this hotel for its convenient location near the bus stop. It's also an easy 7-8 minute walk from the train station, so it was really simple to find. The surrounding area is packed with fantastic dining options, from yakitori to gyudon. Regarding the hotel itself, while the lobby isn't huge, they do provide toiletries. On the plus side, the room was quite spacious, and the cleanliness was excellent."

"Great that the hotel has shuttle bus service from Sannoymiya station, and the service is fantastic. It was hassle free and easy to get to the hotel. Other services were great as well, however, the laundry service was less than great. There are not enough washing machines for the size of the hotel, and many guests are always queuing for the washing machine. Also, the bell captain is inconsistent with the way of managing the laundry queue. Sometimes, there is a waiting list for guests to register on, while other times, there is a need to wait in person for the key to be available."

"The view outside the room is great as it is close to Kobe Harbour (not quite sure) but it is pity that the soundproofing not quite well as we can hear noise passed from another guest room. And I don’t recommend the dinner buffet here because the menu is limited Overall it is good ,the surrounding of the hotel is very beautiful"

"The location of the hotel is great, surrounded by convenience stores (a 24hrs Donki is at the opposite of the hotel, with FamilyMart and 7-Eleven along the streets) & affordable restaurants. The train stations for four lines and also the transit bus to Kansai Airport is only an 8-10 mins walk away, granting easy access not only to varies tourist sites in Kobe, but also to Osaka and the airport. The room is not spacious but we have enough room to spread out 1-2 luggages (hotel rooms in Japan are typically very small), the double bed is comfy and big. The room is soundproofed, we knew there were children and families staying on our floor but we only heard them once from the hallway, the room enable us to get a good night's sleep in such a busy area. The public area and room are clean, staff clean the room every 3 days, but you can also request room cleaning service every day by telling the reception. I personally enjoy the shower very much, the water flow is strong, and the rainfall shower did an excellent job to wash our tiredness away. Shampoo, conditioner & shower gel is provided, other disposable toiletries are available on the lobby floor. There are 3 washing machines (wash & dry) for all guests on the 2/F?? which can be paid by coins, the laundry room is usually fully occupied and it is better to avoid after-dinner hours, it would be perfect if every room has its own washing machines like other hotels. During our stay (which is the hottest time in summer), the hotel thoughtfully provided ice-cream soda for guests at their cafe every night after 8PM, that is a suitable place where you can get refreshed and chit-chat after a long day. Overall, we appreciate the professional service of hotel staffs and enjoy our stay at the hotel, we would recommend The Royal Park Canvas to those are looking for an affordable, quality hotel with convenient location."

"I particularly enjoyed the outdoor onsen complex; it felt exceptionally clean, and I appreciated the wide selection of toiletries, opting for the POLA brand myself. The entire facility was spotless, and soaking in the baths was incredibly relaxing. They even provided complimentary cold drinks, massage chairs, and Yakult. This hotel attracts many Japanese guests, which speaks to its quality. The location is also excellent, not far from Motomachi Station and conveniently situated right by the Nankinmachi (Chinatown) entrance. Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience. Oh, and a special mention for the late-night noodles – they were genuinely delicious! My son even managed to eat two bowls in one sitting, which is high praise indeed! 😂"

"Great location near Sanomiya train station with lots of food nearby. Also have a supermarket and daiso nearby. The place also provide happy hour wine and snacks like candy and pancake. Kids love it."

"Location is quiet and away from the buzzing night life of Kobe. There's a Family Mart across the street and a 7- eleven further down. It's about 15 to 20 minutes walk to the main shopping district. Breakfast variety is more towards traditional Japanese style, with a mix of western such as omelette, sausages, bacons. Disappointed that they don't have cereals/ muselis though."
