Top Kobe University Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel at a great price. We booked a 'superior room' which was quite a bit bigger and nicer than the other rooms we had on our trip to Japan. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was nice and big and full of great amenities. We really loved the fact that there was a 7/11 on the 4th floor, super convenient. We also used their laundry room which had plenty of machines that were reasonably priced. It was definitely our favorite hotel of the three we stayed at on that trip. I will be booking there again next time we go."

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast is excellent But bed needs to be improved very uncomfortable"

THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE

ART HOTEL Osaka Bay Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel of our 3 city trip! The views from our room were breathtaking, room was spacious, and the buffet was delicious!"

The Singulari Hotel & Skyspa at Universal Studios Japan

10/10 Excellent

"It was really cool to just walk out of the hotel and be inside Citywalk and at the train station."

Kobe Portopia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was amazing"

Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good

"The lobby was spectacular and the elevator super cool. Breakfast was very good. Lots of different options. The view was really nice looking over the harbour. It’s a bit far from any shops or restaurants but the park land around the hotel is lovely. The only thing I really didn’t like was the cruise ships that dock alongside. The engines run all night, sometimes the music is loud and obnoxious although it didn’t go late. But it meant I couldn’t sit on the lovely balcony. But if you don’t mind being a bit far out from the centre it’s probably quieter than the main area of the city."
