"I recently stayed at your hotel and would like to provide some feedback. The room was generally fine, but the cleanliness was not ideal. I noticed quite a bit of dust in the corners of the room, which suggests that those areas may not have been cleaned thoroughly. Other than that, my stay was satisfactory. I hope this feedback helps improve the housekeeping standards. Thank you."

NESTA RESORT KOBE Hotels in Kobe

NESTA RESORT KOBE

"We stayed as a family of four with two children. The room had four single beds lined up side by side, so it was nice and spacious to sleep in. The room was fine since we only needed to sleep, but there was only one chair and a small table, so it didn't feel very relaxing. After checking in, we went to the large public bath right away, had dinner, and went to sleep right away. The fact that there was a washing machine and dryer was a nice feature! The large public bath had an indoor bath, an open-air bath, and a single-person bath, so it was spacious enough that we didn't need to go to the nearby paid bath. I was happy that they had ten-grain rice at the breakfast buffet. The French toast, which was baked right in front of us, was delicious! Both the Japanese and Western food were delicious, and the portions were just right. The kids were very satisfied, even eating mini cakes in the morning. Free parking for guests is also a great service! I'd definitely like to stay here again when I visit Nesta!"

Kobe Plaza Hotel West ★★★
"The room is on the smaller side comparing with the two hotels I lived in Osaka and Hiroshima, but enough for solo traveler like me. The location is just no comparison. I can walk to the harbor and the main shopping center in 15 min. There are so many good restaurants around."

Kobe Minato Onsen Ren ★★★★★
"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."

The Royal Park Canvas - Kobe Sannomiya ★★★★
"The design is very simple and grand, and the room is also very spacious. It's about a 10-minute walk to the transportation hub. Overall, it's pretty good. There's a night duty staff, and you need to press a button to enter after midnight. I would stay here again."

"Amazing value for money hotel in a good area. The price to performance ratio in this hotel is very good, and the amenities are top tier. Our room was very clean and we were able to add upgrades for just a few dollars. Boasts good views on both sides if you are on higher floors (either the sea or the mountains) and is connected to a train stop. Good sound isolation, great air conditioning, good beds, and great shower. Service was also good, nothing to complain about. Highly recommended."

Remm Plus Kobe Sannomiya ★★★★
"Putting aside the facilities, I believe the hotel's service quality needs significant improvement. I needed to cancel my booking for that night for personal reasons. It was during Golden Week, and the hotel was fully booked. I called them, hoping for the best. A lady answered initially, and I spent a long time explaining my situation. She seemed to understand and said I could cancel, which was a pleasant surprise. After double-checking, I contacted Ctrip customer service to handle it. After half an hour of waiting, Ctrip got back to me, saying the hotel claimed they hadn't received my call and no such request. Seriously? I had to call again. The same person answered, and this time she started saying that cancellation wasn't possible. Were you just toying with me before? I understand that this was a personal cancellation request, and I'm not angry that my request was denied. What infuriates me is that your hotel's back-and-forth communication wasted my entire morning, dealing with both you and Ctrip. If it wasn't possible, you should have made that clear from the start and not wasted everyone's time."
