Hotel Okura Kobe
10/10 Excellent
"Hotel Okura is beautiful. I loved my view of the harbor from my room with the sparkling waters every morning. The location is very central to some popular tourist attractions including Meriken Park and it was very easy to get around on foot. We were able to visit the shopping malls nearby -- no more than 15 minutes away from the hotel. There are beautiful views very close by the hotel. The staff was very kind and pleasant. The room was clean and well maintained. I would stay here agin."
"It was difficult to find the hotel because the only sign outside was in Japanese and the place looked deserted.
A passer-by took us in and I was surprised to find everywhere in semi darkness, the reason being that we had entered just before check in.
The room was spotless, warm and comfortable with both dinner and breakfast included on the price.

"The hotel is centrally-situated. We walked or took a short train ride most of the time since it’s close all the places we wanted to go to. The staff is very helpful as well and the facility was very clean and cozy."
"Great hotel. The room was nice but nothing too special. Big bathroom. Staff is super friendly! Self check in was easy but the staff helped out anyways. Shopping district is directly across the street and only a few minutes walk from the station. Tons of stores and shops and restaurants. The hotel has a restaurant as well but didn’t try it. Looked good though. I would recommend staying here if you want to be as close as possible to the action without it being too busy in front of the hotel. I would definitely stay here again. "
