14. Taketoritei Maruyama

Arimacho, 15.9 km from Kobe Animal Kingdom

"Rooms very super clean. We stayed in rm. 411 and the outdoor onsen was indescribably amazing. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They offer shuttle within the onsen area which is super helpful. The onsen experience was amazing. Tho’ a bit pricey, I will definitely stay here again as a treat. The Kaseiki dinner was also amazing. It was a lot of food. Almost like tapas as there are many small portions (11 courses in total). After dinner, another onsen. Out of this world experience!"

THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE

8/10 Good

"Initially this property was not located where I thought, the property is more in a working industrial area on the water. The area is not loud nor did it hamper our stay, we just accommodated by having to go down an extra station to Universal. Unit was clean & comfortable."

Hotel Monterey KOBE

8/10 Good

"Second time I stay in this hotel, location is great, walkable to everything. First time was 6 years ago. But this time, I found that the hotel need to fresh up and maintenance."

Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good

"We booked this hotel 6 months ago and asked for a quiet room. They put us next to a family with a constant crying baby in and out of their room and balcony banging around. It amazes me that they had 6 months to manage our request!! However the room itself was really nice and an amazing outlook over to the sea. The breakfast was average. We did go to the roof Terrace twice for a drink and found the head bar man unhelpful and unfriendly. We asked to try the house wine which comes by the glass before ordering but were faced with a rather direct and blunt ‘NO’ which we found awkward. Not a great experience and the hotel ultimately misses out on business."
