3-Star Hotels in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

Great location near Sanomiya train station with lots of food nearby. Also have a supermarket and daiso nearby. The place also provide happy hour wine and snacks like candy and pancake. Kids love it.

Traveling with my family, we picked this hotel for its convenient location near the bus stop. It's also an easy 7-8 minute walk from the train station, so it was really simple to find. The surrounding area is packed with fantastic dining options, from yakitori to gyudon. Regarding the hotel itself, while the lobby isn't huge, they do provide toiletries. On the plus side, the room was quite spacious, and the cleanliness was excellent.

Location is quiet and away from the buzzing night life of Kobe. There's a Family Mart across the street and a 7- eleven further down. It's about 15 to 20 minutes walk to the main shopping district. Breakfast variety is more towards traditional Japanese style, with a mix of western such as omelette, sausages, bacons. Disappointed that they don't have cereals/ muselis though.

I quite like this hotel! The front desk also gave us a 1000yen/per coupon, and there was also a list of places where it could be used. We were worried that there was no place to eat in the remote area, so we just picked a restaurant that looked pretty good. It took a few minutes to drive there... You still need to take off your shoes for the tatami, and then an English-speaking waiter came out and gestured to say sorry, it was full... But there was obviously no one in the store, hahaha! I think it might be a reservation system. After a bow and sending us out, we could only rely on Lawson for dinner. I joked with the front desk, and then went to the restaurant bar to eat the dinner I bought at the convenience store. On the way, a staff member came and found several restaurants, gestured that he could help make a reservation by phone and we could go right away. But we were already full... haha! But the service attitude is really good... (The restaurant that I didn’t eat is the one in the picture, planting grass... leave it for next time)

Amazing hotel!! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Large room, incredibly comfortable beds, good temperature control. Very nice shower room. One downside was there was only a small table (there we two of us). There was a shared kitchen and lounge area, which were very nice. The coffee was excellent. I would love to stay there again. Very close to the bus stop and whirlpool tour. But public transport on the island is very limited so it is difficult to get to other attractions if you don't have a car. There is local bike hire, but they were out of/didn't have e bikes, and the hills are very steep.

This is a beachfront budget hotel. While the hotel doesn't offer dining services, there are plenty of great food options nearby. I highly recommend Tsurumaru Udon; it's run by an older gentleman and a young person, and we ended up eating there twice during our stay in Awaji. The beach is a public bathing area and gets quite busy with local Japanese tourists during the summer. It's quite natural and largely unmaintained, giving it a rustic charm. We traveled to Awaji by bus from Kobe Sannomiya, and the hotel is conveniently just a 5-minute walk from the bus stop. At the same bus stop, you can purchase a 1000 JPY day pass for various attractions, but be aware that bus services are infrequent. It's advisable to check the timetable at the station beforehand. Besides the udon place, we also tried Ura Shokudo and Kintaro Sushi. Ura Shokudo is a local cafeteria-style restaurant where you pick your dishes and pay at the counter. Their tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet) and noodles are made fresh to order. Kintaro Conveyor Belt Sushi is very popular; we had to queue both times we visited, so I'd suggest going during off-peak hours.

This is a very nice hotel. The front desk staff provided excellent service. It’s not far from the subway and the room was clean. If I have a chance to visit Kobe again, I will definitely stay here.

I particularly enjoyed the outdoor onsen complex; it felt exceptionally clean, and I appreciated the wide selection of toiletries, opting for the POLA brand myself. The entire facility was spotless, and soaking in the baths was incredibly relaxing. They even provided complimentary cold drinks, massage chairs, and Yakult. This hotel attracts many Japanese guests, which speaks to its quality. The location is also excellent, not far from Motomachi Station and conveniently situated right by the Nankinmachi (Chinatown) entrance. Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience. Oh, and a special mention for the late-night noodles – they were genuinely delicious! My son even managed to eat two bowls in one sitting, which is high praise indeed! 😂

The hotel's location is excellent, very close to Sannomiya Station. The room had quite an interesting layout. My only minor complaint is the lack of toiletries, especially makeup remover. I didn't bring any, as most Japanese hotels typically provide them. I had all my other essentials with me. I regrettably never got to try the hotel's ice cream; I only saw them packing up the stand during check-in, and was always out early and back late during my stay.

3 minutes walk from Xinkaidi Station. The room is very clean. Although it is small, the bathtub in the bathroom is quite unique and big. Check-in is very fast. Check-out is also fast. There are many pedestrian streets, shops and restaurants nearby.
