Top Kobe University Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

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."

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA
