Top Iwaoka Hotel Reviews

Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kobe Sannomiya

10/10 Excellent

"Room and hotel was well maintained and clean. very convenient location. Ac worked amazingly well. Bed was comfy"

Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good

"Kobe Meriken Park Oriental Hotel is nicely located at the MOSIAC (UMIE) Harbor for Kobe district. The staff are very nice and helpful. However, please note THEIR COMFORT WITH ENGLISH IS LIMITED. They were very helpful and basically used their phones to communicate (my phone stopped working in Japan). The hotel restaurant is PRICEY $25 - $30 for buffet meals. Which did not suit me (2 other restaurants for equally pricey). The hotel was big, but a bit older. Clean and QUIET. A very nice (almost) luxury hotel. The area of the hotel is away from the hustle and bustle of a big city - and this made for a comfortable stay for a solo female traveler. There is a park in the area and family and visitors gather daily and it is very pleasant. The harbor also offered leisurely boat and small cruise rides for a reasonable fee. A little way across the harbor in WALKING DISTANCE (which became my night stroll before bed) there is the MOSIAC a collection of some retail stores and many restaurants. However, VEGETARIAN BEWARE - there are very few places to eat anything vegetarian. There are no local take out restaurants or quick meal restaurant. There is a convenience store in the lobby 7am -11pm. However, the hotel provides a daily, hourly FREE SHUTTLE to train station to connect to almost anywhere you want to go with 2 or 3 hours of the hotel. This was a great location for me: SAFE, Quiet, Clean, PLEASANT, helpful staff. Very nice hotel stay. ENJOY. peace."

Remm Plus Kobe Sannomiya

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Remm Plus Kobe Sannomiya for 4 nights and 5 days and had a wonderful experience! The check-in and check-out process was quick and easy, and the staff were very helpful throughout my stay. One of my favorite parts was the breakfast buffet—the dining area has a superb view, and the food quality was excellent. I especially enjoyed having Kobe beef every morning! Tip: Get to breakfast early if you want a seat with a beautiful mountain or city view. The room was comfortable, clean, and good quality. I also really appreciated how quiet it was—I didn’t hear much outside noise, so I was able to rest and sleep very well after long days exploring Kobe. If you love shopping and want an easy commute, you’re at the right place! There’s an American Pharmacy store downstairs, a FamilyMart nearby, and very convenient access to the Port Liner. The location makes it super easy to shop, grab what you need, and get around Kobe. Overall, I had a great time here and really enjoyed my stay. I would definitely recommend Remm Plus Kobe Sannomiya, especially if you’re looking for comfort, convenience, great food, and easy transportation!"
