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.

The hotel is nestled in Meriken Park, offering truly stunning views; the hotel itself is a scenic spot. The room size and facilities met expectations. I had researched beforehand and booked an East-facing room. I made a mistake when booking and ended up with a non-refundable special offer room, which was slightly smaller. However, the bed faced the balcony, so if you're an early riser, you can actually catch the sunrise from this room. The only downside is that the hotel might have been open for a while and hasn't been maintained very well. The cleanliness wasn't ideal, especially for Japan. There was a lot of dust on the ceiling directly above the air conditioning vent, which looked a bit messy. I hope the hotel pays more attention to these details. I had read in guides that it's best to take the shuttle bus or a taxi to the hotel because it's uphill and inconvenient with luggage. However, there's an escalator to the left of the hotel, which is perfectly fine for carrying suitcases. Just be aware that it stops operating after a certain time at night, so keep that in mind when checking in. Due to a flight delay, we were supposed to arrive at 4 PM, but it got pushed to the evening. We landed quickly, took the airport bus to Sannomiya, and easily found the hotel shuttle pick-up point. We were lucky to catch the 10:30 PM hotel shuttle. Upon arrival, we also bought some food and drinks at the convenience store on the first floor of the hotel lobby. This is the only convenience store in the vicinity, and it closes at 11 PM. Overall, the highlight of this hotel is its scenery. You can take your time to fully appreciate the beauty of Kobe Port – it's an experience worth having. The drawback is that it's a bit far from Sannomiya's shopping centers, which can affect your subsequent plans.

The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly. The location is convenient as it is near the train station. I also had a great breakfast there.

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.

This Japanese hotel is truly impressive! The service is meticulous and attentive, and the rooms are clean, cozy, and equipped with modern facilities. The location is convenient, yet quiet and safe. The Japanese breakfast is exquisite and delicious, and the staff are warm and professional. It was a very comfortable and pleasant stay, highly recommended!

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 the Hotel Okura Kobe, and the service was just as attentive and thoughtful as I remembered. The front desk kindly upgraded me to a higher floor room, which was spacious, comfortable, and offered fantastic views. The breakfast had a wide variety of options and was consistently good. Overall, a perfect experience – I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time!

Wonderful staff. At check in, one staff member rushed over with a car for our luggage. We were sitting for dinner at the table in the lobby and she brought over (without us asking) wine glasses for our wine. They also reminded us that if you scan a qr code and leave a review on checkout, they give you a gift (drinks or snack). It's far from anywhere, but there is a Lawson nearby and we brought in food from the supermarket.

This hotel is located halfway between Osaka and Kobe, a spot most guests wouldn't typically choose as it's inconvenient for both cities. It primarily caters to tour groups from Hong Kong and Taiwan, offering bus transfers to and from Osaka, which makes travel easier for them. It's like visiting Shanghai but having your travel agency book your accommodation in Kunshan to save money. The hotel is conveniently located, just a five-minute walk from both Koshien Stadium and the JR station. Right downstairs, there's a shopping mall with a large Aeon supermarket on B2, which offers tax-free services and dedicated counters for medicine and gifts. It's super convenient for shopping, closing at 10 PM. On the 7th floor, there are vending machines, a microwave for heating food, and an ice machine. The lobby restaurant can get quite crowded during breakfast, so I'd recommend going during off-peak hours. It can be quite overwhelming when a large tour group all comes down at once.
