Hotels with Parking in Kobe

The room was quite spacious, and the massage chair was a pleasant surprise – very comfortable to use. The room introduction was quite detailed, and it was my first time experiencing a traditional Japanese onsen ryokan. The tatami mats were interesting, and I slept well. The entire hotel felt like a museum; despite its age, it had a lot of character. I felt like I got a deeper understanding of Japanese culture, which I really appreciated. The service, apart from being led to our room with traditional Japanese bows and the room introduction, was mostly self-service. However, this was my first time staying at a 'one night, two meals' ryokan, so I'm not sure if all onsens are like this. We also didn't have large luggage, just our bags, so maybe that's why we didn't notice any issues with luggage service. On a positive note, the front desk immediately knew which pair of shoes were ours when we checked out, which was good service. On the downside, the room's air conditioning unit was so well hidden that it took ages to find, and I was cold for quite a while. The phone either didn't work or I couldn't figure out how to use it. Also, we booked the private onsen from 8 PM to 9:30 PM. After relaxing for a bit, it was already close to 11 or 12. The public onsen closed from 12 AM to 1 AM, so we couldn't use it. We needed about 8 or 9 hours of sleep, and breakfast was scheduled for 9 AM. After breakfast, from 9:30 AM to 11 AM, the public onsen was closed. When we asked, the front desk informed us that check-out was strictly at 11 AM and we couldn't use the public onsen after checking out. So, we missed out on the public onsen, which was a real shame and couldn't be negotiated. In any five-star hotel in any country I've traveled to, it's usually possible to discuss using facilities after check-out. But it seems traditional onsen ryokans are all this rigid. While that might be how Japanese people are, for a hotel of this price, and for clearly inexperienced foreigners (we were even reminded we wore our kimonos the wrong way), when asking about meal times, couldn't they have kindly informed us that we needed to plan our breakfast, dinner, and onsen times accordingly? The food was light and flavorful. I don't eat seafood, and they were able to adjust the meals to my preferences. Communication two months prior was very responsive. However, for us, it was a bit too plain; Japanese people would probably love it. This was my first trip with my husband after giving birth, and I had been looking forward to the onsen part for a long time. I was very happy on the check-in day, but not being able to use the public onsen on the second day was still a big regret.

This was my 4th stay at a Dormy Inn hot spring hotel. The onsen facilities are great, with 3 indoor and outdoor baths and a sauna. They even offer delicious, light ramen as a late-night snack at 9:30 PM, and breakfast is exquisitely tasty. What's more, Arima Onsen is only about a 30-minute journey away. Although it requires two transfers, the connections are seamless. Revisiting after 10 years, it felt as if time had stood still in this quaint and peaceful hot spring town.

I highly recommend the Gekkoukan (Moonlight Pavilion) after a two-day stay. It's divided into the main building, Kōmōkan, and an annex. There are three hot springs in total, but the water quality is pretty much the same across all of them. I'd suggest sticking to the main building's baths as they are more spacious and convenient. The only downside was that transfers need to be booked in advance, and there isn't a scheduled shuttle bus. Plus, it's quite a hike uphill to get there, which was a real struggle in the summer heat while lugging suitcases.

My family booked a triple room at Comfort Era Hotel, and to our surprise, it came with four beds! The room was spacious with plenty of room to open our luggage, and the beds were comfortable, which made a great first impression. Unfortunately, as soon as we walked into the room, we were hit by a strong damp smell coming from the carpet. The bathroom also had an unpleasant urine odor coming from the toilet. On top of that, the toilet seat was not cleaned and had poo stains on it. The television didn’t work as well and we couldn’t access wifi from our room. We immediately reported the issue to the front desk, but since the hotel was fully booked, they were unable to move us that night. The smell was so overwhelming that it gave us headaches, and we really didn’t want to stay in the room. We even tried spraying perfume to mask the odor, but it didn’t make a difference. We also found a long strand of hair on one of the beds, along with dust under the beds and in the corners of the room. The bathroom ventilation was also quite weak. After showering, our towels stayed damp for a long time, leaving the bathroom feeling musty and uncomfortable. Thankfully, the next day the staff went above and beyond to help us by moving us to another triple room on a higher floor. One of the staff went into the previous room to check the smell as well. They were incredibly friendly, efficient, and genuinely cared about making our stay more comfortable. We were very impressed with their excellent customer service. Although the second room still had a slight damp smell from the carpet and a faint odor from the toilet, it was much better than the first room and made the rest of our stay much more enjoyable. The hotel doesn’t provide complimentary bottled water in the rooms because free drinks are available in the lobby. While we appreciated the complimentary beverages, having to fill cups and carry them back to our room every evening wasn’t the most convenient. We also enjoyed several thoughtful amenities. The complimentary donuts served from 2:00–5:00 p.m. were a fun treat, and the hotel provided clean robes, toothbrushes, razors, and umbrellas for guests to use. We especially loved the cozy library lounge, which had a great selection of books and plenty of comfortable seating to relax after a day of sightseeing. The location is another major highlight! The hotel is only about a 5-minute walk from Sannomiya Station, with plenty of restaurants, convenience stores, and drugstores nearby, making it easy to explore the area and find everything we needed. Overall, Comfort Era Hotel has a fantastic location, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, excellent amenities, and wonderful staff. If the carpet odors, bathroom smell, and housekeeping were improved, this hotel would easily be great place to stay.

Not sure what has happened to Japan standard in the past couple of years but had called the hotel to confirm that linens are scent free (standard in Japan before) and was told yes. Unfortunately they are not, this new laundry detergent that is slowly spreading throughout Japan is absolutely horrible causing all sorts of allergic reactions (not only to me.) I start having rashes, compromised breathing, and inflammation issues. If it’s the same detergent used back in America, then it might be eco-friendly, but definitely not human friendly. I truly hope that Japan goes back to the way it was before the introduction of some western products filled with harmful chemicals to humans. It is not because you don’t react to it that it is not harming your body, it’s only a question of time and when it does, you won’t know why and there is no turning back. Take it from an Asian American born who was the biggest fan of American marketed products. We do have good products like ECOLAB, which is both, sustainable for the environment without compromising human health. Maybe laundry company should look into that company or simply return to Japanese products before. Good thing thing their pyjama are still scent free so I had to wrap the bed and cover with their pyjama to get through the night.

We checked in late at 11:50pm close to midnight after calling the reception of our late arrival into Osaka Airport. Professional, warm and patiently checked us into our room Impressed with entire facilities, food and service. Yes I would recommend this Onsen if you are driving , there’s sufficient complimentary parking .

Extremely disappointed. The onsen (hot spring) was tiny, and the steps inside were uncomfortably high. They also offered very few amenities. For dinner, as a small woman, I only felt about 80% full, and there were very few extra items available to order. Apart from the front desk staff, most employees only spoke Japanese, which made communication a bit difficult, but everyone was very friendly. The pillows and blankets were incredibly uncomfortable. I tried all three in the closet, and they were still bad; I even woke up with a stiff neck. The blanket was incredibly thick, and I woke up in a sweat in the middle of the night. The most ridiculous thing was that construction started outside at 8:30 AM... I can't believe a resort onsen hotel can't escape the noise. The hotel seems to be the furthest one in the area. I walked there, and thankfully the weather was good and the scenery along the way was nice. The shuttle bus is too small; after checking out at 10 AM, I had to wait until the 10:40 AM service. But it's too far to walk, so I had to take it anyway...

The hotel is located right next to the newly opened shopping street, very close to Hankyu Hanshin train station. I saw some reviews mentioning it's a bit far from the subway station. The room, although small, was well-equipped and very good.

I likes staying in Kobe,its a great city, i stayed for 3 nights then extended my stay for another night and was considering staying much longer but the price to stay started of ok ,then when I extended the price when up a little, then when I went to book again the price was insanely high,so I moved out The guy running the hostel was nice I'd recommend staying there if it were $20 odd dollars a night but not what trip.com had it advertised for on Saturday night

스마 해변과 가까워서 매우 좋은 호텔입니다. 서비스가 아주 좋았고 시설도 매우 만족스럽습다만 호텔의 특성(?)상 가족보다는 커플이 방문하기에 좋습니다.
