Hotels With Parking in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

The room is very comfortable, quiet, and clean. The mattress is also very comfortable. The hotel staff is very friendly. When we arrived, there was no parking space available right in front of the hotel, and the front desk employee went outside in the rain to guide us to another parking spot in the lot across the street.There is a coffee maker available in the lobby for morning coffee.

I booked this hotel mainly for the view, and it definitely delivered. The west-facing room looks directly out onto the Ferris wheel, making it feel like a living painting from the window. The small balcony was perfect for fresh air and enjoying the scenery. The hotel is located within Meriken Park, offering a quiet escape while still being in the heart of Kobe. There's a free shuttle bus service to and from Sannomiya Station, and you can explore the park right outside the hotel. For shopping at Daimaru and other areas, it's about a 1 to 1.5 km walk through the park, or you can take the free shuttle bus for flexible travel. As a long-standing landmark, the hotel has been around for years. While it has undergone renovations, the lobby and interior still retain a sense of history and age. The basic services and facilities are all fine, but nothing particularly stands out. Considering its location and view, the weekday prices offer good value for money. However, weekend prices are a bit high, so staying during off-peak times would be more economical.

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.

The hotel's hygiene and service are excellent. It's conveniently located 100 meters from Dongpu Bus Terminal, making it easy to catch buses to attractions, though do note that bus frequencies are limited, so check the schedule in advance. On the first floor, there's a microwave, oven, and coffee machine available for guests. Right outside the hotel is a beach, but it seems uncleaned with some litter, and at night, the sea outside the window is pitch black. There's also an Aeon supermarket nearby, which is handy for buying food.

Although this is an older five-star hotel, the lobby is spacious and features the traditional five-star amenities, which are well-maintained and appear very clean. The hotel is conveniently located right next to the Shinkansen line. It was raining on the day we arrived, but there's a covered walkway directly from the Shinkansen to the hotel, so we didn't get wet, which was very handy. Check-in was quick, and the staff were friendly. They even informed us about ongoing exterior renovations, mentioning that workers might be passing by at certain times. It turned out to be work on an annex, quite far from our room, but I appreciated the heads-up. We booked a twin-bedded city view room, which was very large and even had a capsule coffee machine, though I couldn't use it as I don't drink coffee. The staff cleaned our room thoroughly every day. For breakfast, you can go to the buffet restaurant on the 4th floor, which offers a good variety of Japanese and Western dishes. The staff there were also very attentive, reminding guests around 10:00 AM that the last seating was at 10:30 AM. Alternatively, you can opt for a set menu on the 5th floor. This is served in a restaurant where the staff wear kimonos and are equally friendly. We had three breakfasts in total and chose the set menu one day; it was simple but tasty. Right next to the hotel is the Herb Garden, which is easily accessible by cable car. A short walk down from there, there's a glass house resembling an indoor rainforest. We enjoyed afternoon tea in a café inside while listening to a piano and violin performance. The hotel is just one subway stop from Sannomiya. It's also easy to walk to the Kitano-cho (Ijinkan Street) area and then to Sannomiya. My only minor complaint was that our room was quite close to the elevator; I would have preferred a room further away. The hotel also offers a direct bus service to Kansai Airport, but it only runs twice a day, at 11:00 AM and 2:30 PM. Since we missed the 11:00 AM bus, we took the subway one stop to the Sannomiya Bus Terminal, which is diagonally opposite Hankyu, where buses run every 20 minutes – also quite convenient.

Came to run the Kobe Marathon, and this place was incredibly convenient. It's less than 1 km walk from the starting point, and the race even passes right by the hotel! The hotel's hot spring was very comfortable, and they offered free popsicles, coffee, and Yakult – super happy about that! There are tons of restaurants downstairs, and it's walking distance to Daimaru department store. I'll definitely stay here again for the next Kobe Marathon!

Thank you for my stay at Hotel Livemax Toyooka. The hotel is a bit of a distance from the station, and since it was snowing heavily on the day I arrived, I had to be careful with my commute. For winter access, I'd recommend checking transportation options in advance. Also, even though I'm a foreigner, I responded in Japanese at the front desk, but was suddenly spoken to in English, which was a bit confusing. I would appreciate it if there was a bit more consideration regarding language choices. Overall, it was a clean and comfortable stay. I'm also grateful for the polite service from the staff. I believe the service could be even better in the future with more consideration for language aspects.

This was my second stay at Hotel Okura and it's definitely the most satisfying hotel I've experienced across all my trips to Japan. Even though it's an older hotel, opened in '89, the interior is incredibly well-maintained. The elevators, especially, are so smooth and fast! We stayed during Chinese New Year this time, and the service was excellent. A bellboy helped us with our luggage up to the room (though it seems this service isn't always available, as it wasn't during my last visit). The hotel boasts unbeatable ocean views, and the back exit leads directly to Kobe Port. While it's not in the bustling Sannomiya area, it's only about a ten-minute walk to places like the Former Foreign Settlement and Motomachi for dining and city walks. Kobe has so many interesting little shops to explore. There's also a shuttle bus service to Sannomiya. I just discovered this time that there's a FamilyMart convenience store right on the hotel's lobby level, which is super convenient. The room was a generous 40 square meters, which is incredibly spacious for Japan. For the same price point, you'd be stuck in a tiny shoebox in Osaka, Kyoto, or Tokyo. The TV now comes with Netflix! (This is a huge improvement over the terrible TVs at places like the Vessel Hotel in Osaka, where I could never get screen mirroring to work and there were no channels). While Kobe might not have as much nightlife as Osaka, my family was happily binging 'Single's Inferno Season 5' in the room. The toiletries provided are Pola, and there's even an umbrella in the room.

Hotel with a beautiful view, right by the Kannabe ski slopes. We visited during a period of abundant snow, and the weather was refreshingly cool. The hotel offers complimentary tea, coffee, ice, and instant miso soup.

Well maintained hotel with helpful hotel reception. Personally, I like the location of the hotel as it's convenient getting to Kobe or Osaka. Rooms are quiet and clean, and we have a bathtub to use.
