Amazing location, great view from the room, super comfortable bed, very freindly and helpful staff, good wifi. We wanted to send post cards from the hotel to our home back in Europe, the front desk staff told us they will send them for free (we did recieved it). The hotel also has restaurants and bars which looked great, unfortunately we didn't get a chance to try them due to busy schedule.

The location was beautiful and very convenient. Breakfast offered many choices and everything was very well prepared and presented. We booked the bbq on the terrace, which was lovely. We didn't know that we would have to cook the meat, as this wasn't mentioned in the English description. We didn't mind because my husband loves to bbq.

All five-star hotels in Kobe

Looking for a five-star hotel?

When the accommodation is just as important as the destination, a five-star stay should give that extra ‘wow’ factor as you enter the lobby. As well as offering the kind of service to make you feel like royalty, you’ll usually find highly rated on-site spas, gourmet restaurants and top-of-the-line beds you won’t want to get out of.

A true 5 star hotel like they used to be with incredible customer service and facilities. Great swimming pool, restaurants and food. Shuttle bus service to and from the main local train station was very convenient and for free before check in and after check out. I would definitely go back next time I visit Kobe.

It has the atmosphere and coziness that only an older 5-star hotel would offer. Great location beside the port and within walking distance to Motomachi shopping area, with amazing night views from the room. Excellent breakfast and commendable service.

It’s understated but in a nice way. Staff are very helpful and welcoming. The private Onsen is so relaxing. It’s a luxury to have it all to yourself. We booked a Kaiseki dinner and it was amazing! A big thank you to the Executive chef Yoshihiro Ogasawara!

Great view of the city Kobe from the window in my room. It was fantastic view! Also hotel is 5 star and very good service and facilities. Only there is some hotel staff wasn't nice to us without reason at restaurant. He was very nice to other Japanese guest who looks like many years customer of this hotel. That's was only issue. All other staff were very very nice. I like this hotel service more than Okura Tokyo.

Everything! This hotel felt like a 5 star hotel. Absolutely perfect! I highly recommend you to book this hotel at your next stay in Kobe. Family friendly, perfect for couple honeymoons, etc. Their breakfast was also amazing. A buffet style where you have so much to choose from! Both western and Japanese style food available. The hotel premises was massive! Such an amazing view too no matte which hotel room you get. It really made our Kobe stay memorable.
