Overlooking the beautiful Kobe Harbor, Oriental Hotel offers luxurious accommodations in the heart of the historic Kyu-Kyoryuchi area.

We loved everything about this hotel from the initial hello of the reception, to the appointment and comfort of our room to the dinner at the Italian restaurant. Service was impeccable. We plan to stay here every chance we get!

Minions!!! If you love minions, this is the hotel for you. My family loves minions, so I had to book a room for our visit to Universal Studios Japan so that we could see more minions. Minions in the lobby. Minions in the elevator. Minions on a bench. Minions everywhere! Check in was a breeze. Setsuko Washio was truly an amazing guide for the hotel. She greeted us, helped with the check in process, gave us minion stickers and wrote us the sweetest note. Dropped off our bags and then headed to Universal Studios Japan for the day. When we got back, we were so surprised that not only were our bags in the room, but Setsuko Washio had handwritten a second note and left minion gifts for our family. This really made a happy day even happier. Thank you!! Location, location, location. Our room was walking distance to Universal Studios. So easy to get there and back and we could see the park from our comfy room. Loved the soaking tub after a long day at the theme park. The aquariums throughout are such a nice touch. Make sure to pick up a toothbrush, hairbrush or hand towel from the large bin in the lobby. Rico Rico for breakfast was great. Loved the traditional Japanese breakfast cuisine. It was a fish lover's dream. Tuna. Salmon. Salted cod roe. Mackerel. Sesame and seaweed. Sushi and sashimi. The veggie curry, salt fried chicken, savory Japanese pancakes, and noodles for breakfast were delicious options. The fresh squeezed orange juice and matcha tea were great ways to start the day. A special thanks to Setsuko Washio and her team of special minions for making our stay a very, very Happy Day!!

    Loved the design of the hotel. Like being on a cruise ship. The view from our room was gorgeous. Felt luxurious and special! The rooftop bar was spectacular at night. Staff were warm and welcoming. We initially booked 2 nights here, but after the first night, we decided to book in for a 3rd! We had an executive room and had access to the executive lounge with free drinks and food at certain times. It was amazing value! 100% recommend staying here in an executive room :)

    So close to the heart of quaint Chinatown & Mottomatchi shopping Mall and a 10 minute walk to central Kobe through designer shopping streets or one stop on the train. The loop sightseeing bus stops right round the corner in both directions linking to all sights. One stop from the airport monorail to Kobe but we chose to walk the 11 minutes.

    The hostel is very beautiful and cozy with artistic interior design. I really enjoyed my stay here even if I didn’t get to meet the host. (Everything was arranged on the phone) The room was very comfortable and clean. The bed was super comfy and I would have loved to stay here longer!

    Parking is free if you drive here Shuttle bus to Sanomiya station every 20 minutes where the central of Kobe is Scene - right next to Kobe harbor that you get to enjoy the whole ocean outlet Location - Mosaic mall and Umie are right next to the hotel with a short walk of less than 5 minutes that you can find more than 500 different restaurants and shops there Interior design is Westernized, which gives people a relax feeling, unlike most Japanese hotels Spacious enough
