Hyogo Prefecture Romantic Vacations

We enjoyed our overall stay in this traditional onsen inn. The lady who showed us to our room and explained how to make use of the onsen was very kind and helpful. Dinner was a special experience as was the Japanese breakfast. Our servers were attentive and very polite. It was helpful how they explained the dishes to us. I’m afraid, however, that the lady who intercepted us upon arrival was not so charming. Her attitude was rather brusque as she demanded us to face the camera without explaining that it was a thermometer. In fact, the front desk check in experience was below the standard of service one would expect at this price point.

Very spacious, comfortable room with balcony and superb view of Kobe Harbor. Reasonable cost, only 2/3 the amount charged by a similar luxury hotel in Nagoya that provided a smaller room. The vast lobby, with waterfall and decorative pool, add even more to the feeling of elegance. Highly recommended.

Excellent balcony view of the port area, Meriken park especially at night. Room is very clean and big. Location is excellent. Helpful staff.

The cleanliness and hospitality was top tier. I’ve been around Kobe for a long time, and have been wondering how good this historic hotel was, and they did not disappoint my expectations.

There’s construction all around the hotel and it’s very inconvenient to get there.
