Kobe Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers

It was a wonderful hotel ♡ It's directly connected to the station, so it's only a one-minute walk from the ticket gate. From the rooms you can see Mt. Rokko and the Kobe cityscape, and you can enjoy the view from day to night. The sparkling night view is especially amazing!

The location is a bit remote, on another artificial island, and you have to transfer to the special railway line in the city center every day. Although it is not very far, it is more troublesome to carry things. If you take a taxi from the city center, it will cost about 4,000 yen. The most annoying thing is the air conditioning. The hotel sets a minimum temperature. I was sweating until midnight when I slept. After checking with the front desk, I found out that the temperature of the air conditioner was set at a limit. As a result, a fan was brought to us. Directly affects sleep quality. In addition, there seems to be only one English-speaking waiter in the entire hotel.

The hotel is a bit old, but the service is still first-class, the breakfast is very rich, there is a direct bus to Sannomiya Station, the second floor is directly connected to the subway, the transportation is quite convenient, and you can enjoy the beautiful night view of Kobe. It is recommended.

Generally speaking, the facilities and services are not outstanding and the transportation is inconvenient. I will not come again.

The transportation is convenient. There is a direct shuttle bus from Kansai Airport to the hotel (1 hour's drive). Take the JR Kobe Line from Osaka or Shin-Osaka and get to Sumiyoshi Station in 15 minutes. Transfer to the Rokko Line and get off at Rokko Center Station in 9 minutes. It's 1 minute away. hotel. Very suitable for your first day in Japan or the day before returning to your home country. (Attached are airport bus schedules) There are many restaurants in the hotel, Japanese and Chinese cuisine. There is Teppanyaki and a very authentic French restaurant on the 21st floor. You can choose from fresh fish, Kobe beef or Wagyu beef. It is a bit expensive, but compared to similar domestic restaurants, it is great value for money. There is a FamilyMart convenience store in the hotel, and there are 2 supermarkets about 10 minutes away to replenish food or daily necessities. There is bus No. 21 in front of the hotel. It takes 15 minutes to get directly to the city center of Kobe Mita for dining or shopping (Daimaru Depar**ent Store, Hankyu, etc.). The station is at the entrance of Hankyu, and the return to the hotel is at the same station. The hotel has a natural hot spring, which should be of the Arima hot spring type. It may be located on the seaside. The spring water is a bit salty, so you need to rinse it after bathing. Check-in should be at 3 pm. I arrived at the hotel at noon, prepared to store my luggage and then went out. I asked the front desk and I was able to check in directly! 👍 Check-out is at 12 noon, which is 11 or 10 in most hotels in Japan. A very good stay experience. I will stay again next time I go to Kansai.

Transportation is very convenient. There is a bus from the airport that costs 2,000 yen and can go directly to the hotel. But it only leaves once an hour, so you need to coordinate the flight time. It's an hour's drive from the airport bus to the hotel. The hotel room is relatively large. Apart from being old, the room is clean and tidy. It comes with complimentary toiletries and a facial mask every day. It has everything you need. I particularly appreciate the hot spring here. I live on the 14th floor and there is a direct elevator to the hot spring on the 3rd floor. There are men's and women's soups. The water is very warm, the facilities are clean and high-end, and the wooden texture of the courtyard makes people very peaceful. The iced oolong tea prepared by the hotel is very refreshing to drink after making the hot soup. There is a dedicated rest area and comfortable sofas. ,Worthy of recognition. There is a Sheraton bakery downstairs. The bread is very fragrant and the souvenirs are of high quality. I recommend the Tamago bread. In addition, there is a light rail that goes directly to Sannomiya. Line 21 is very convenient and goes directly to the Daimaru Depar**ent Store in the center of Kobe. Service: It could be a little better!
