Hotels near Gakuentoshi Station, Kobe

"The first floor smells like beer, the rugs in the elevator too."

"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.  "

"**The positives: *Standard business hotel room, but with a pretty comfortable bed, a TV which I think was 4K and a fairly spacious, clean bathroom. *Shower was warm and comfortable. *The window opened slightly, which is always nice. *Ample vending machines in the area. *Coin laundry was on the cheap side: 200 yen washes, dryer was 100 yen per 30min. **Neutral: The route from the elevators to the door lead past the front desk, but you're able to walk on the far side of a big column if you don't want to be seen. (Which I don't. I'm...not sociable.) **The negatives (all of which are pretty minor): *Leaky bathroom faucet, although I never heard it. *This hotel has a big disparity between "niceness of the TVs and filthiness of the elevator carpets." TVs: Really nice. Elevator carpets: Pretty filthy. *Area was kinda noisy and a bit busy for my tastes. *Coin laundry was cheap but the machines were also outside. It was February when I was there -- I had to factor in "freezing my butt off" when deciding whether or not to use them (which I didn't). *~Occasionally~ heard neighbors. I think I heard people out on the street (through a closed window) more often, to be honest."
