Top Iwaoka Hotel Reviews

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Himeji

10/10 Excellent

"Nice video of the castle from the room we stayed. Great breakfast buffet. Easy walk from the train station."

DaiwaRoynetHotel Kobe-Sannomiya PREMIER

8/10 Good

"The hotel is conveniently located within easy reach of the main train station and is surrounded by major department stores and a good selection of restaurants, making it an excellent base for exploring the city. The room is modern and well maintained, although rather compact. The king-size bed is positioned against the wall, which makes getting in and out of bed somewhat challenging, as one has to climb over the bed to reach the other side. The hotel does not have its own parking facilities. However, we found overnight parking at Times Strong Building to be the most reasonably priced option. It is just one street away from the hotel, approximately a five- to ten-minute stroll. Overall, the hotel's convenient location, modern rooms, and easy access to shopping and dining options make it a good choice for travellers. The limited room space and parking arrangements are worth taking into consideration when booking."

Taketoritei Maruyama

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and got to sample almost all the onsens on offer. The rooms were well maintained and stocked with amenities. We appreciated the convenient and free shuttle service to go to dinner. Staff were friendly and spoke great english. The QR booking system for the onsens was easy to use."

Kobe Portopia Hotel

8/10 Good

"ポートピアホテルは機会が有れば宿泊したいと思っていました。スタッフ対応ローケーションは最高でしたただ気になったのがもう少しアップデートとバスタブの排水口の錆びシンクのまわりにカビの様なものが目につきました。でもまた宿泊したいと思いますありがとうございました。"
