Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kobe Sannomiya
ホテルは綺麗で清潔、朝食も種類豊富で味が濃くなく、美味しかったです。ただ、値段上仕方ありませんが、部屋は狭く、かつ、ユニットバスルームに臭いがあったのが減点でしょうか。それでも、値段を考えれば十分満足でした。

Villa Fontaine Kobe - Sannomiya
The rooms were a good size and even had a couch to sit on in them. The bathroom was small but clean and sufficient. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was close to food spots and the train station. It was a good location and would stay again if in Kobe.

ANA Crowne Plaza Kobe by IHG
The staff were very friendly, the room was spotless and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was fine - a great shower - if a little bit dated. The location was absolutely perfect...steps from the shinkansen station and an easy walk to downtown.
