Hyogo Prefecture Kid friendly Vacations

This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in and I travel extensively for work. I would stay here again without question

We stayed in Room 杉 on with a private open-air bath on April 15, and this was our second time visiting this property—our last stay was about 8 years ago. It was such a joy to return. The room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. Both meals were absolutely delicious, with the clams being a definite highlight! We also noticed some thoughtful upgrades since our last visit, like the addition of remote-controlled lighting and TV, as well as extra blinds around the private bath area for added privacy. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming throughout our stay. We arrived on a rainy day, and they kindly arranged to pick us up near the bus station, which we really appreciated. It was also a lovely touch that they offer complimentary drinks and snacks in the lobby. On top of that, we received a gift card with our booking, which we enjoyed using at the gift shop. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would highly recommend this hotel. We’re already looking forward to hopefully returning again in the near future.

My Japanese friend who lives in Kobe recommended this hotel and I am so happy to have followed her advice. The views of the Akashi Kaikyo bridge from the room (and the spacious bathroom) were stunning, especially at night when the bridge was illuminated. We had a corner room with a bathroom, in which a bathtub was on an elevated platform with a floor-to-ceiling panoramic view of both the bay and the bridge. The room was very quiet and spacious; the beds were comfortable. My sister and I really enjoyed a buffet breakfast at the hotel, and our visit to Arisugawa - a Japanese restaurant on premises, was memorable. We are already planning our return to Seaside Hotel Maiko Villa Kobe and next time, we will stay for longer. The hotel has a spa, which we did not have the time to enjoy on our most recent trip, and the area itself has so much to offer for pleasant walks on the promenade, in the park, and on the beach.  

Stellar overall experience
