Hotels near Kobe Gosha Station, Kobe

"We had a wonderful stay at Arima Grand. One of our favorite parts of our trip to Japan. I highly recommend staying in a ryokan at least for a short time when you visit Japan. You are provided sized yakutas that you wear during the stay. The onsen is beautiful and not crowded. By staying here we felt a deeper connection to the Japanese culture. The included 9 course omakse is heavenly if you are open minded to try new foods including several raw dishes and usually ends with a Kobe beef entree. The included breakfast buffet with Japanese, Chinese and American items was among the best I have ever experienced. Our room was a suite with Western and Japanese elements including tatami floors with futons and elevated 2 twin beds, a separate bidet toilet from the shower area, and an included unlimited alcoholic and non alcoholic mini bar. The included meals, onsen, rooms and yakutas are WELL worth the higher cost. Service was fantastic. We enjoyed the game room for the kids and the gift shop as well. The only downside was that it is a bit off the beaten path from Kobe but we used it as a home base from our day trips to Kyoto and Osaka. Day trips on the Shinkansen from Kobe were $10 and 15-20 minute rides. It was a true luxury to be able to come home to a 9 course dinner followed by a dip in the onsen before bed. 10 out of 10!"

"I highly recommend the wagyu dinner/breakfast"

"Location up a hill but shuttle to and from the hotel is provided at any time. Private onsen is nice."

"Very traditional onsen hotel. Worth the visit, staff was great, food was great."

"This was a wonderful and relaxing stay"

"a nice place to stay"

"Just a set of futon and a small table. No TV, hardly any amenities, but an excellent onsen and quiet evening. A perfect place for those who want digital detox. "

"We stayed in Room 杉 on with a private open-air bath on April 15, and this was our second time visiting this property—our last stay was about 8 years ago. It was such a joy to return. The room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. Both meals were absolutely delicious, with the clams being a definite highlight! We also noticed some thoughtful upgrades since our last visit, like the addition of remote-controlled lighting and TV, as well as extra blinds around the private bath area for added privacy. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming throughout our stay. We arrived on a rainy day, and they kindly arranged to pick us up near the bus station, which we really appreciated. It was also a lovely touch that they offer complimentary drinks and snacks in the lobby. On top of that, we received a gift card with our booking, which we enjoyed using at the gift shop. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would highly recommend this hotel. We’re already looking forward to hopefully returning again in the near future."

"This ryokan was recommended by a Japanese coworker and our stay at Hotel Hanakoyado was exquisite. We were only able to stay one night, because it was booked up when we had planned to go earlier in our trip. We ended up staying here the night before our flight home and it was just the decompression we needed for our long flight the next day. The staff was so helpful and friendly, and you could really tell they took a lot of pride in their work. The meals were delicious. We especially loved dinner, and the Charcoal Grilled Kobe Beef really just melts in your mouth. We booked the room with the private onsen because that was the only room available and I was determined to stay here (since it was so highly recommended) and it was absolutely worth it and very relaxing. They also handle booking and transportation to a massage parlor nearby. We did an aromatherapy full-body massage and slept like babies that night. I am absolutely looking forward to visiting this place again. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Note: I would book directly through the website for this inn because expedia overcharged us"
