Top Minatogawa Shrine Hotel Reviews

Grand Prince Hotel Osaka Bay

10/10 Excellent

"インテックス大阪が目の前でイベントに参加しやすかったです　駐車場も1泊1000円がアプリ提示でなぜか無料で、出し入れもいつでもフロントで無料QRがもらえて快適でした　部屋がとっても静かで各階にウォーターサーバー（熱湯冷水常温）があり、助かりました　シャワーヘッドはRefaでした　ユニットバスですが、広くて快適でした　シティービューも梅田ビル街や港、コンテナ、トラス橋など見晴らしがとっても良かったです"

Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good

"Kobe Meriken Park Oriental Hotel is nicely located at the MOSIAC (UMIE) Harbor for Kobe district. The staff are very nice and helpful. However, please note THEIR COMFORT WITH ENGLISH IS LIMITED. They were very helpful and basically used their phones to communicate (my phone stopped working in Japan). The hotel restaurant is PRICEY $25 - $30 for buffet meals. Which did not suit me (2 other restaurants for equally pricey). The hotel was big, but a bit older. Clean and QUIET. A very nice (almost) luxury hotel. The area of the hotel is away from the hustle and bustle of a big city - and this made for a comfortable stay for a solo female traveler. There is a park in the area and family and visitors gather daily and it is very pleasant. The harbor also offered leisurely boat and small cruise rides for a reasonable fee. A little way across the harbor in WALKING DISTANCE (which became my night stroll before bed) there is the MOSIAC a collection of some retail stores and many restaurants. However, VEGETARIAN BEWARE - there are very few places to eat anything vegetarian. There are no local take out restaurants or quick meal restaurant. There is a convenience store in the lobby 7am -11pm. However, the hotel provides a daily, hourly FREE SHUTTLE to train station to connect to almost anywhere you want to go with 2 or 3 hours of the hotel. This was a great location for me: SAFE, Quiet, Clean, PLEASANT, helpful staff. Very nice hotel stay. ENJOY. peace."

Hotel Monterey KOBE

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed three days for traveling. I did not use parking service, nor had dining experience, particularly the breakfast buffet unfortunately, which was well spoken of by the guests. The location and facilities were perfect. Walk-able distance from stations and a lot of options for shopping and dining. I even walked to the harborland from the hotel. The free large public bath, not too large in itself, is another merit of this hotel, There were reviews that at evening the bath gets full, so I used early in the morning and did not have any trouble. The best part was the staffs; they were very attentive to customers' needs and very kind. I thank Ms Kawashima for her kind assistance to find a suitable room for me. Overall, it turned out that this hotel was one of best choices I made in Kobe. Another thing, free coffee at the lobby lounge!"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Great location- good transport links, nearby shops and food court. Smart hotel with clean rooms and all we needed. Wonderful breakfast buffet with lots of options. A very comfortable stay."

HOTEL UNIVERSAL PORT

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great just wish the bathroom was more private"

Oriental Hotel Universal City

8/10 Good

"Gorgeous hotel, I will be dreaming about that truffle egg waffle breakfast for years to come. Location was also incredible, I didn’t expect to to be so close to the entrance even though I knew it was in the immediate vicinity. Only down side was that the beds were extremely firm, and the pillows felt like beanbags. I have a firm mattress usually but this was very stiff and uncomfortable by western standards. Not great after a long travel time or park day, but frankly I’d still come back and stay just for those waffles."

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Great facility"

The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios Japan

10/10 Excellent

"Very close to USS, good location and well maintained."
