Romantic Hotels in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

"I was really happy to book such a great value-for-money hotel! It's a shame the private onsen rooms were so popular and fully booked. We just took what we could get, and it felt like opening a mystery box. The sunroom was actually pretty good, accommodating up to four people with two single beds and two futon sets. We booked the 'one night, two meals' plan. We could reserve our dinner and breakfast times upon check-in and just show up on time to eat – delicious and filling! 👍 The hotel also included two private onsen reservations. We went for a soak at 10 PM on the first night, and again at 10 AM after breakfast on the second day, which was perfect as check-out was at 11 AM. The hotel staff were excellent, warm, and polite. We even met the legendary driver who speaks Chinese, which felt a bit familiar and comforting 😁 The shuttle service starts at 3 PM in the afternoon, and if you want to go to the shopping street, the driver will even take you there. I genuinely recommend this hotel to everyone!"

"Overall, it's pretty good, a comfortable chain hotel. Don Quijote is directly opposite the hotel, which is really convenient for picking up little things. The big subway station isn't very close, so if you have a lot of luggage, you might want to reconsider, otherwise you'll be dragging it across a lot of cobblestones, and your hands will get pretty sore. The hotel's location is probably in a bustling area. After 8 PM, there are many local 'energetic' young guys around, some drinking until 3 or 4 AM. The soundproofing isn't great, so if you're a light sleeper, I wouldn't recommend it. Behind the hotel are various local pubs, which can get very noisy at night. This is my second time in Kobe, and I'll definitely come back again, it's so beautiful!"

"The hotel's location is excellent, offering a quiet retreat while being just across the street from Sannomiya Shopping Street, and to the west, it connects directly to Daimaru department store. The hotel is very clean. We booked a 'leisure twin room' which even had a small massage chair and was quite spacious; we could easily open up two large suitcases. The staff were also very friendly and quickly helped us call a taxi. The Italian restaurant on the second floor is absolutely delicious! The cocktails are great too, and not overpriced. We stayed for 7 days and ate there several times. Sometimes after a long day of sightseeing, we didn't want to go out, so we'd just order room service. We'll definitely choose this hotel again when we visit Kobe next time."

"I really like this hotel and usually book two 20 sq.m. rooms when traveling with my family, which I did this time too. We arrived around 10 AM, dropped off our luggage, and headed out, returning for check-in after 9 PM. A male staff member mistakenly thought we'd booked one room, but after clarifying, we were given two. Upon entering, we noticed the room type differed from what we'd reserved; we received the 16.5 sq.m. layout. The difference was in room size and amenities; the 20 sq.m. rooms have a desk, a small dining table, and two chairs. I immediately contacted the front desk, but to no avail. Then I spoke with Trip.com, who said there were no other rooms available for an exchange. While getting ready, I found hair on the bathroom wall, a strange noise when turning on the hot water tap, and a missing button on the bathrobe. I contacted Trip.com again, and they offered a points compensation. I hope Trip.com's display pages accurately reflect reality and that the hotel assigns rooms according to reservations."
