Hotels With Breakfast in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is a bit far from Sannomiya Station; you need to take a few train stops to get there, but it's very close to the nearest station. The room was spacious and the hygiene conditions were decent. The service was excellent. The hotel is divided into the Main Building and the South Building. I stayed in the Main Building this time, and I felt the facilities were a bit old. There's a FamilyMart convenience store and a few other shops on the first floor, which is convenient if you need to buy anything. The bathtub isn't fully enclosed, so water splashes out when you shower.

The sea view room offers an unbeatable view, with the Ferris wheel and Kobe Port Tower all visible. The room is spacious and very clean, with a balcony where you can watch both sunrise and sunset. The hotel's breakfast is highly recommended, with a wide variety of Japanese and American options, including freshly made mini-burgers – definitely give them a try!

I'm not sure if this happens in all the rooms, but they have a serious humidity problem. The wall was getting wet and it made the bed wet as well, and the room smelled damp. They don't offer cleaning unless you stay for 4 nights or more. The beds weren't very comfortable and, as I mentioned, since the wall was wet, the duvet got wet too. I'm 1.86m tall and the duvet didn't fully cover me. On the positive side, the staff was friendly and there was a convenience store at the entrance of the hotel.

Location: For traveling to and from Osaka Airport, you can take the airport bus from Kansai Airport directly to Sannomiya Station, which is about a 5-6 minute walk from the hotel. There's a new building under construction nearby, so it can be a bit noisy during the day, and some roads might be detoured. Dining: There's a 7-Eleven just 10 meters downstairs, and easily over 100 restaurants and bars around the hotel. You'll find food options all along the JR line. Shopping Area: It's actually more than a 5-minute walk to the main shopping streets and the busiest commercial area in Sannomiya. If proximity is a priority for you, there are closer options available. Room: The 1.6-meter bed is definitely fine for two people, but a 24-inch suitcase can only be opened in the bathroom or the hallway connected to the main entrance, making it very cramped. Cleanliness: Very clean. You can pick up toiletries like lotions and makeup remover on the 1st floor. Check-in is strictly after 3 PM, and check-out is at 11 AM.

Great location, right between Himeji Castle and Himeji Station. It's just one block from Himeji Station, about a 6-7 minute walk. The hotel is surrounded by shopping and dining areas, including popular old coffee shops and oden restaurants. Himeji Castle is also only about a 6-7 minute walk away, and you can enjoy it just by looking at it from the outside. The hotel is very new, and the rooms are a decent size (by Japanese hotel standards).

Great hotel in Himeji, will definitely choose the same hotel if I visit Himeji again. Hotel staff are very friendly and offered us earlier check in.

This is a very established international hotel chain, located about 700 meters walk from Sannomiya Station. Despite being in a bustling commercial area near the station, it's incredibly quiet at night, ensuring a peaceful sleep. It's also very close to attractions like Kitano Ijinkan and Ikuta Shrine, both within walking distance. The room was very spacious, easily accommodating two open 28-inch suitcases with plenty of room to spare. The bed was comfortable, and the complimentary access to the 'san-wanna' (spa/sauna) was a highlight. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Kobe.

While the hotel's location isn't as bustling as Kobe's Sannomiya commercial center, it offers excellent value for money, considering its convenient transportation, shopping, dining options, and the hotel's facilities. Opened in 2023, the hotel is very new. I booked a 21 sqm Superior Twin Room, and it didn't feel cramped at all. What I particularly liked was the separate wet and dry shower room, making for a very comfortable shower experience. The hotel elevator goes directly to the basement, where a left turn leads straight to the ticket gates for Hankyu and Hanshin Electric Railways. A right turn and a short walk through the underground shopping street takes you to Kobe JR Station. For major Kobe attractions, including Himeji Castle, you'll primarily use these three railway lines (there are also many subways and buses, but they're largely unnecessary). Day trips to downtown Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, and other places from this hotel are very convenient and affordable. Outside the hotel and in the underground mall, there are plenty of restaurants for dinner. What I loved most were the two large supermarkets downstairs: Life and KOHYO, which offer many delicious and safe Japanese snacks to satisfy any craving. Many fresh food items start getting discounts in the evening, including sashimi, sushi, and tasty bread, which you can buy to eat in your room. Microwaves are available on the 6th and 10th floors. The hotel service was very responsive to requests, for example, when I asked for an extra pillow or daily coffee packets. The hotel's drawbacks: the duvet was too thick, and although the air conditioning kept me cool, its noise affected my sleep; the refrigerator was also a bit noisy. As a side note, for those traveling independently, getting to the hotel from Kobe Airport: take the Port Liner (elevated light rail) for 18 minutes (340 yen) to Sannomiya Station, then transfer to Kobe JR, Hankyu, or Hanshin lines, and the hotel is just 2 or 3 stops away.

We had a very spacious corner twin room for 2 of us! So generous! Also the onsen was very clean and we loved it! Parking was full when we arrived but they directed us to a nearby parking lot with fixed parking rate. Love this place!

The location of Kobe Lumen Hotel is very good. It is in the city and the parking lot is easy to find. It is in the alley directly opposite the hotel and the price is reasonable. The hotel service is very good. We arrived very late and the check-in time was past, but they did not neglect us and arranged to check in immediately. When we checked out in the morning, we were 5 minutes late and they did not say anything. They were very gentle. The room was very clean and warm. The sound insulation effect was very good and suitable for living. In short, because of the comparison with the previous one, this one is simply heaven. The only flaw is that the room is a little small. Everything else is acceptable, mainly because of the cheap price.
