Kobe Hotel Guide - Aste Kawanishi hotels in Kobe, Japan.

"Friendly staff and clean facility "

"Softest beds we used throughout Japan. Nice breakfast spread. Generous amenities. We could have used a towel rack in the bathroom. Unfortunately we didn't get to partake in the onsen"

"The staff was kind enough to refer me to her English-speaking colleague. That reduced language barrier. The male staff was very swift in processing my check-in. He was also very detailed in relating to me the hotel's instruction (esp. not to open the door when the door bell rings - signalling my breakfast is here). The room was spotless, clean and very spacious with lot of amenities (a bit too overwhelming for a solo traveller). I enjoyed both my Japanese and Western breakfasts for the next 2 days. As the instructions for the main controller (AC and lights) were in Japanese, so i had a hard time adjusting them accordingly. Other than that, i had a marvellous 2 night stays at the hotel. "

"Compact room, we stayed in the basic one: but it had everything we needed, as we did two day trips we just needed the room to sleep. And this hotel, best part is the location - as on both days, we were able to go from Room to Shinkansen in 5 mins. Perfect location if you are using Shin Osaka station. Wish, I could have continued, but had made a separate reservation in Central Osaka. "

"Always wonderful service. "

"Clean room and beautiful view of the city"

"Clean, safe with a helpful and friendly staff"

"We stayed in Room1153 by elevators with self-serve laundry on the floor 300yen wash, 100yen per 20min to dry. Water filter for drinking water by elevators-great alternative to bottled water. Unfortunately it is down alot so purchased water at supermarket. Room had an air filter. Beautiful hotel behind the train station and above a shopping mall with Hands dept. store, 24hour supermarket, 7eleven, food court in basement, McDonalds, Matsuya fast food 24hrs, Don Quixote and Pachinko, Uniqlo, Daiso ,100 yen drug/discount store for everything you need all close by. Slippers provided. Amenities such as combs, razors, toothbrush/toothpaste, even facial cleanser/toner/moisturizer samples, instant coffee and teabags provided in lobby in self-service area by check-in. Microwave in lobby. Fridge and hot water boiler in room. Don't need anything else. Pack lightly and enjoy the proximity to the the trains. Full room cleaning is done every 3 days unless you specifically want it done that day. In that case you must leave the room by 11am to allow cleaning crew to do a thorough cleaning. Only complaint was that we should have more laundry machines-a change machine would help, water filtration system was down alot and fridge was not cold enough. Other than that we enjoyed our stay with clean modern rooms and being next to the trains were the most important issue for us. Rooms were tiny so opening a large luggage was impossible. Carpets need cleaning."
