We arrived by ship into Kobe and spent our first night in Japan at this hotel.

We arrived by ship into Kobe and spent our first night in Japan at this hotel. I was really pleased with our choice of location.I took the ships shuttle bus to mid-town and enquired how to find this hotel from there. I was pleasantly surprised when we only had to travel one stop by train from Motomachi station to the next stop Kobe station. This was on the JR line but we didn't want to start our JR pass until the next day so the fare was 120 yen for the one stop. It was literally a 5 minute walk out of the station to the front door of the hotel(with luggage) This is an excellent budget hotel.Toiletries, gowns( although uber small in size), slippers, electric jug, tea service along with a fridge are all in the room. A laundromat and powder is available too. Reception speak great English and were very helpful-just what we needed. There is a good supermarket at the station where you can purchase lots of ready-made, ready to eat food as is the norm in Japan. We bought beer and a bottle of wine there too. The bed was really comfortable but be sure to ask for a non smoking room when booking if applicable. Sannomiya station is the change station to the Shin-Kobe ( Shinkansen bullet train line) This is a new clean hotel that I wouldn't hesitate revisiting and just perfect if you don't want to spend a fortune on accommodation and have just left a cruise. The following day we ventured to Himeji Castle for a day trip. Its a great destination to start your Japan visit and only 40 minutes by train from Kobe station. Its 970 yen each way if you don't have the JR pass At Hemiji walk out of the station and look to the far end of the street where you will see the beautiful white castle in the distance The white Egret-like main keep is a world heritage site and well worth a visit Its an easy flat walk to get there from the station.

“Gute Lage”

Die Lage des Hotels ist recht gut, da es weniger als 5 Minuten von Kobe entfernt.

Die Lage des Hotels ist recht gut, da es weniger als 5 Minuten von Kobe entfernt. Das Duo Kobe Habourland & Umie Einkaufszentrum ist zu Fuß erreichbar und kann erreicht werden von der U-Bahn Station, die sich neben der JR Kobe ist. Sannomiya ist nur wenige Station entfernt, wenn man das Kobe Beef versucht, schick. Kostenloser Wi Fi-Anschluss ist zur Verfügung, was ein Plus aber Das Zimmer war wirklich winzig. Es gerade in einem Doppelbett, einem Tisch und Stuhl fit. Nicht viel zu Fuß zu Zimmer links. Es gibt auch keine miteinander verbundenen oder angrenzenden Zimmer. Wir buchten 2 Zimmer, da wir eine 5-köpfige Familie sind und waren andere Etage gegeben. Dies ist kein Problem, da meine Kinder alt genug sind, aber es ist etwas umständlich.

Wir waren für eine Nacht in Kobe (zum Essen lecker Rindfleisch), und wir brauchten eine günstige Unterkunft.

Wir waren für eine Nacht in Kobe (zum Essen lecker Rindfleisch), und wir brauchten eine günstige Unterkunft. Das Hotel war gut, aber klein und veraltet, und wir erhielten ein Raucherzimmer, was offensichtlich hatte einen sehr starken Geruch sogar mit Lufterfrischer. Ansonsten, Klimaanlage und warmes Wasser funktionierte gut. Standard Business Hotel. Das Personal war freundlich und die Lage war ideal, nur 5 Minuten zu Fuß vom Bahnhof in Kobe.

The hotel is located about five minutes from Kobe Station. It's a little hard to see from the street although there is a sign in Japanese and two trees outside which might help. Look up for a huge TOYOKO INN KOBE sign for another hotel further along the street on your right then you will know you have taken the correct one. Exit Kobe Station and take the road the furthest to your left. Basically, for the price it is adequate. There is free coffee in the lobby but no breakfast. The rooms are fairly small and a little old, but clean. It is a quiet hotel and quality of sleep is good. The WiFi is free and works well. There are cheaper hotels around but if you are looking for no-frills convenience, then this one is as good as any. You can reach Sannomiya Station in around five minutes. This is the central station for all travel in and around Kobe. There are plenty of complimentary pamphlets at the front desk including maps of Kobe and information on its many attractions.
