Whenever we return to Kobe from US, we stay here at least a couple of days. We always look forward to the quiet atmosphere, excellent buffet for morning and/or evening, or ala carte (menu is very extensive) restaurant. We love the Onsen, of course! This is one of the main reasons we come back to Kobe Minato Onsen Ren. Staff are always courteous and polite. We are planning to stay again in April this year. Looking forward to it very much!

They need to train their staff immediately on customer service. This is the worst hotel check in that I have experienced in my life. The particular hotel check in staff does not know the meaning of hospitality service.

a hidden gem

We booked the Harbour suite which was super spacious. We loved the private onsen which was really large. The spring water was a bit too hot for our liking . The buffet dinner was worth every cent. A proper Japanese expereince in food and culture. It felt like we were the only foreign tourists staying here which made it really unique like we had found a hidden gem. After dinner we went for a walk along the promenade which goes around the hotel. It was really nice walking besides the water with wonderful night views of kobe tower and surrounds.

A very beautiful hotel!

I checked in half an hour earlier before official check-in. The room is in the Japanese style, huge, clean, beautiful. The hotel has 2 onsens, one on the 1-st floor and another on the 10-th floor. Both were excellent! Breakfast and dinner were amazing and very delicious! The location is very good, in the very picturesque place by the sea. The hotel has the bus shuttle to the central station, it runs every half an hour, but it is possible to walk from the central station to the hotel and it took me about 15 minutes.

Not worth the cost, Nickel and dime you

Beautiful hotel but for the price, you are not really getting the value. The WiFi is awful and never works, the front desk is not very friendly or welcoming, the strict 5pm checkin feels rigid and obsolete when there are clearly rooms available earlier, paying 1000 yen to use the gym when you’re a hotel guest is actually offensive, and unless you get a room facing the marina, you will face the construction side which has no view and just jack hammer construction sounds all day. Maybe this is just a foreigners perspective as there don’t seem to be many non-Japanese here, but feels like this place could be so much better with a bit more effort and accommodations.
