"Budget friendly but not exactly the ryokan we are looking for. Room is not exactly japanese style, and the ryokan breakfast is still much below expectation."

Apartment Hotel 11 Kobe Motomachi ★★★★
"This apartment is absolutely perfect! We rented it when visiting relatives in Kobe. The facilities are brand new, and it's incredibly clean. The location is excellent, with a market right behind it and supermarkets nearby. The owner clearly knows how to run a great business. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next trip!"

"Beautiful hotel with top notch and warm service staff. Dinner and breakfast was good not to mention the fantastic onsen experience which was the main reason we came here. Last but not least, one of the staff personal noticed that I wasn’t feeling well and offered to me some painkillers. Overall, great and memorable experience!"

Kobe Portopia Hotel ★★★★★
"The room was clean overall and service was quite good. But my stay at the hotel ended on a low note. On my check-out day I decided to have breakfast at the hotel restaurant on the 2nd floor. The menu included a "Continental Breakfast" (at 2000 yen), for which I could choose between toast/croissant/danish, different juices, and coffee or tea. I assumed that the above choices are breakfast items with options, and expected a normal "Continental Breakfast" which usually includes an egg, bacon/sausage/ham, and some potato fries etc. It turns out that this continental breakfast includes *only* 3 pieces of toasted bread (they later gave me 2 additional pieces because the original 3 were too burned), along with juice and coffee, charging me 2000 yen just for these. I felt this is a rip-off even for a hotel breakfast, and misleading."

"A wonderful stay at Hotel Okura Kobe. The room was large and very clean, with three comfortable beds that made it ideal for families. The natural light and view added to the relaxing atmosphere. Staff were friendly, attentive and made everything smooth from check in to check out. A truly comfortable and enjoyable stay in Kobe."

Hotel Monterey Kobe ★★★★
"The hotel is conveniently located. Though the room is small, it is acceptable for Japanese standards. However, I felt like the public bath could have been improved. The public bath area is small and it was not well managed. There were so many people in there, and some of the tourists did not follow the conventions of showering before going into the onsen."
