Top Kobe University Hotel Reviews

Grand Prince Hotel Osaka Bay

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was extremely clean and beautiful! The staff were very professional and helpful. The location of the hotel is ideal and convenient."

Oriental Hotel Universal City

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient to universal studios and transport"

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

8/10 Good

"If you check in early the hotel holds onto your luggage which is super helpful. The room sizes were very comfortable and the location was perfect for exploring. Only downside was the elevator has it would create a line during check-ins or checks out as it always stops on the second floor, which is the reception area."

THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE

8/10 Good

"Initially this property was not located where I thought, the property is more in a working industrial area on the water. The area is not loud nor did it hamper our stay, we just accommodated by having to go down an extra station to Universal. Unit was clean & comfortable."

Hotel Monterey KOBE

8/10 Good

"Second time I stay in this hotel, location is great, walkable to everything. First time was 6 years ago. But this time, I found that the hotel need to fresh up and maintenance."

Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good

"We booked this hotel 6 months ago and asked for a quiet room. They put us next to a family with a constant crying baby in and out of their room and balcony banging around. It amazes me that they had 6 months to manage our request!! However the room itself was really nice and an amazing outlook over to the sea. The breakfast was average. We did go to the roof Terrace twice for a drink and found the head bar man unhelpful and unfriendly. We asked to try the house wine which comes by the glass before ordering but were faced with a rather direct and blunt ‘NO’ which we found awkward. Not a great experience and the hotel ultimately misses out on business."

Kobe Portopia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed on 17th floor facing airport, amazing views, great amenities, a massive hotel with normal big hotel amenities (laundry service only). Comfortable beds and pillows. One downside was walls between rooms super thin, lady in room next door coughed all night long 😞, limited sleep had."
