Hotel Monterey Kobe ★★★★
"I booked this hotel because it advertised a public bath, but it was a total disappointment. It's way too small, and you have to queue in the evenings. There's only one pool and very few shower stalls. Plus, it's a good 15-minute walk to the station, which isn't exactly close. I wouldn't really recommend it, and the price wasn't anything special either."
