Kobe Hotels with Bars

The hotel's location, ambiance, and service are all excellent. The mini-bar in our room type was replenished daily with a generous selection of complimentary drinks. They even provided cooling foot patches, which was a thoughtful touch.

A heartwarming and thoughtful mountain hotel experience. This hotel stay completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I felt a deep sense of genuine hospitality – there was a dedicated shuttle service directly from the station to the hotel, saving me the hassle of dragging my luggage around. The next day, I planned to explore the hot spring town at the foot of the mountain. The hotel proactively offered to store my luggage and deliver it to the station at the bottom of the mountain at the agreed time, completely freeing up my hands. The food was surprisingly delicious, with fresh ingredients and thoughtful pairings. The room was clean and comfortable, meticulously cleaned daily, and the common areas were also spotless. The service throughout was attentive yet unobtrusive. From the shuttle arrangements to the luggage storage, everything was efficient and heartwarming. It's truly perfect for travelers planning a hot spring trip. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit.

I highly recommend the Gekkoukan (Moonlight Pavilion) after a two-day stay. It's divided into the main building, Kōmōkan, and an annex. There are three hot springs in total, but the water quality is pretty much the same across all of them. I'd suggest sticking to the main building's baths as they are more spacious and convenient. The only downside was that transfers need to be booked in advance, and there isn't a scheduled shuttle bus. Plus, it's quite a hike uphill to get there, which was a real struggle in the summer heat while lugging suitcases.

The hotel is not located near bus station and transportation is required to the hotel. If you cannot contact the hotel for the transfer (like our case) head on to the tourist information centre and they will help you to contact them for the transportation. Check in is strictly after 2pm, but they will offer to take your luggages to the hotel first while you explore around the Arima Onsen vicinity. Contact them again via information centre when you are ready to check in to the hotel. We were greeted by a lady that dressed up in kimono and guided us to the check in counter. The room is spacious and clean. The view is spectacular and you can hear the birds chirping here and there. The environment is totally pleasant and peaceful. The onsen is very therapeutic and our body feel rejuvenated after soaking. As we opt for room-in Kaiseki dinner, we are able to enjoy full privacy while eating the sumptuous course of dinner that serves by a friendly lady attending to us. In all, it is a great experience.

The Kobe Minato Onsen Ren hotel boasts an excellent location. The Japanese-Western style room with a sea view offers a spacious terrace with an expansive view of the harbor. The room was spotlessly clean, and the hot spring facilities were a great experience. The staff were attentive and thoughtful. We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay; the food and accommodation quality were outstanding. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Kobe.

A perfect site to eat, drink, play golf and shop in Kobe. It’s close to everything and the views of the Kobe Port are just magnificent. Most important, the hotel is well managed, the rooms are spacious and the breakfast is so richly prepared that you wouldn’t be bored even staying there for one week! Will go back.

This hotel really had everything. All the amenities, a lot of boutique shops inside and even a 24/7 familymart in the ground floor! An Amazing 360-view bar on the top is definitely worth visiting at just 1000¥ with a small bottle of wine or fizzy drink included. The city view was amazing (see pic). The rooms were very big, fairly priced and generally modern and tasteful.

The corner room is huge. The best view. Cleanliness. Very delicious breakfast. There is a convenience store on the first floor. Free drinks provided.

The room was a good size with mountain views. The hotel didn't have private bathrooms, but had a large public bath with seven different hot spring flavors, said to treat various ailments and insomnia. The hotel also offered complimentary gold or silver hot spring experiences. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to try the hotel's breakfast and dinner this time. Also, the sake lees skincare product shown below was particularly good; I used it in the large public bath.

Our family of nine had an unforgettable stay at Renest in Kobe. True to its name, this warm “nest” welcomed us with open arms. The cottage was cozy yet spacious enough for all of us, radiating comfort after long days of exploring. The service was wonderful—attentive without being intrusive, always ready to help with a smile. Thoughtful facilities, from child-friendly amenities to ample communal spaces, made our group feel effortlessly cared for. But the true highlight was the fantastic environment and breathtaking view; waking up to Kobe’s serene landscape was pure magic. Whether we were sharing meals or relaxing together, every moment felt special. Renest isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a home away from home, wrapping a large, lively family in warmth and peace. We left with full hearts and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for any family seeking genuine hospitality and comfort.
